Tech: ID4 eating gi lamps...

[Guest]

I have an ID4 that I recently picked up that is eating gi lamps left
and right I haven't checked voltage at the lamps yet but I'm pretty
sure it's not the lamps I've used lamps from different mfg's so it's
not a bad batch issue. I don't have a lot of experience with the newer
Sega/Stern system service wise since I haven't any problems with them,
any suggestions?

Yes it is a reimport what should I check? I couldn't find any info on
voltage conversion in the manual.

Mmmmm... is it a reimport? If so maybe the conversion was not done
correctly.

I have a creature that was a reimport from Europe and the local guy
strapped it for 220v and it was being fed 240v. Took me ages to figure
it out.

Good question as I don't own any Segas.... Mmmmmm...

Here you go:

Scroll down to part 4b - converting an import.

Hope that is the problem as it's pretty easy to fix. Clay's guides are
fantastic!
