Rainbow amusement ride
Posted by mkepler954 on Sunday, June 11, 2023 5:16 PM

I have a pendulum amusement ride.  It has 2 AC wires to turn the pendulum which work fine.  It also has 2 wires which look like they are attached to a magnet at the base below the pendulum.  Any idea what the voltage and AC or DC it should be?

If it is derived from the ATO pendulum clock -- I believe those used 3V DC (from a dry cell).
