Hi all,
I have a mystery. I just got a 4564 which naturally comes with a speed
regulator. It also came with a 120V transformer which will never get
used. I wonder what happens when you plug it into a 240V power supply,
No can't do that either power pins are the wrong shape, definitely a
dust gatherer this one.
Anyway, I happened to look on the underside of the regulator and noticed
that moulded into the plastic where the transformer plug goes in is the
following "9 - 12V". My existing regulators all have "9 - 10V".
The reason this is of interest to me is that I have always wanted to use
12V lighting sets with my 9V setup but as the regulators always said
9-10V I thought it would not work. Is there something internally
different between my old regulators and this new one. are the
transformers inputting a voltage between 9 and 12 volts or exactly 9
volts. Does anyone know?

| (...) The transformers put out unregulated AC, unregulated means the voltage will vary depending on the load. It will need to put out at least 9V when fully loaded but will probably put out nearer 12V when unloaded. Matt (26 years ago, 19-Nov-98, to lugnet.trains)
