bally 37-8018 transformer

[stevebm1]

does anyone know what game this bally transformer was originally for?,it's only markings are 37-8018,it has a poorly hacked harness attached for the later style AS-2518-54 rectifier boards used in the early 80's,but I know that is not where it originated from

I have tried searching the web for bally 37-8018,but have had no luck finding any information

 

[AlanJ]

is it actually a bally ?

 

[stevebm1]

im not 100% sure,I know it gives out the correct voltages for the harness that's hacked,but the transformers for the later style AS-2518-54 rectifier boards did not have lugs on the transformer,the wires came straight out

 

[AlanJ]

I think that’s a stern transformer

 

[AlanJ]

i thought 37 was model number but it isn’t. the 8018 is date of manufacture. week 18 of 1980

the model number should be printed on the metal top. 16b-3 or 16b-6

I will check tommorow,I don't think it has anything wrote on top to be honest,flippershop.nl lists a bally 37-8013,perhaps my bad eyesight is reading the last digit as an 8 when it could be a 3

looks like 8016 at the end to me.

No numbers printed on top,but I think your right Alan about it being a stern one,probably of the same period,I plan to use it as a test rig for a pile of old rectifier boards I have,so it should do the job

Found this info but it might mean nothing.

STERN TRANSFORMER 16B-6 37-80xx​

Used by game: Flight 2000​

 

[stevebm1]

it has no lug number 4 which also points to it being stern looking at some old stern schematics on ipdb

I was thinking that code 37-80XX was relevant
so any date in 1980
