You can get a 0 to 30 volt, REGULATED, variable, 20 amp, DC power supply off eBay for about $100. Battery chargers are not usually regulated so the voltage can vary widely. |

Re: Sun machine power supply
You can trace the wiring from the battery cables to see what else is powered by 6 volt DC.

Re: Sun machine power supply
I also have an older Sun machine and in asking questions about repair, I was told of some one near Charlotte, NC does this. I have not located him yet. Does anyone have that info?

Re: Sun machine power supply
Alan, last contact I had was for Dave, [email protected]. Let us know if that email works.
He is in the Charlotte area and, I believe, worked directly for Sun as a tech.
