Inder 250cc pinball (Spanish) 110V conversion

[Tim]

We just got in a spanish pinball made by Inder with the title being
250cc (motorcycle theme) I am trying to figure out how to convert it
from 220 volts to 110 volts. The transformer shows only four taps, 0 -
205 - 220 - 220. The taps that are currently being used are 0 - 220.

Will I need some kind of step transformer to go from 110v to 220v? We
don't even know if the game works or not. so I don't want to pile up
much money to convert it in order to check it out.

Two other games that came that had different transformers and were
already converted were, Cirsa Stargame and a Petaco 2 made by Juegos
Populares.

Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Some of the newer machines from overseas mfg. did not come with a 110
capable transformer. You will have to get an invertor/step up
transformer, or figure out what voltages it needs on the secondaries
and swap a whole different unit in.

Well, this would work. Simply plug it in...

Here you can find some spanish manuals, I think you can not step it to
110v.

I've done some research and have found that this pinball cannot be
converted to 110v using the existing transformer. I have found some
paper work on the game and they seem to use a few different voltages
than American games use so it's not as easy as wiring up an American
transformer in the game. The only way I see to make this game work is
to use a power converter between the games plug and the wall outlet.

The converter rating will need to be high as I've read that you have
to multiply the amps (8) by 110v to get the wattage (960) I also read
that you don't want the converter to work at more than about 80% of
it's capacity

Any one know of a bare transformer that I can install inside the game
that accepts 110v in and conerts it to 220v? In order to power the game
