Service Outlet Spike 2

[Sako-TRG]

Gents,
Is there a reason the service outlet is taped off on Spike 2 - see photo:-
Not sure if this is unique to UK builds as US machines aren’t taped off?

Yeah I’m pretty sure that in CE now having something like that is no longer permitted. Or maybe it’s just not rated for 220v

Yeah, didn’t want to tamper with it as I know the US build ones are definitely open - for plugging in devices, soldering irons, test units etc.....
The Mod couple Bat Signal relay device was designed to plug in here and the mod connection was USA 3 pin - this service outlet would have to be converted to 220 volt UK supply so maybe understand why it’s sealed off, maybe Stern didn’t fully complete the service supply to work in UK.
I got around it by purchasing a step down voltage converter and bypassed the Pin machine altogether and powering the projector from the AC which is the safer option.

Yeah it is because of the CE thing I remember Neil Fellender telling me they are constantly live.

Yeah I just plugged the step down into the wall and plug the relay into that and have it on an Alexa plug that turns them both on and off when I ask Alexa to turn the game on or off.
