Years ago I purchased a Walthers movie theater. Can someone tell me the name and part number for the power supply? I have a number of power supplies but none of them cause the chasing lights to work although the interior lights work. A picture of the power supply would be great but any info is appreciated.

I found a few different movie theater models-is this yours? https://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/933-2713
And this was their power supply page, though they didn't have a large selection of power supplies, and none of them were even Walthers. https://www.walthers.com/exec/...SS&subc=PWRSUPLY
The original power pack probably had some sort of device on it that programmed the lights to move.
Atlas O is currently reproducing the Walthers theatre. As far as I know Miller Engineering made the marquee for both Walthers and Atlas. Atlas's parts department should be able to sell a power adaptor. I have the Atlas variant - my adaptor is 4.5 AC.
The original power pack probably had some sort of device on it that programmed the lights to move.
There's a board in the building itself that controls the marquee. The plug adaptor is only a power source - a transformer that reduces power to 4.5 volts.

Yes that's the one. I need the power supply number. It worked when I put it away. Don't remember the power supply. Now the chasing lights won't work.
PRRfan, you are correct. I asked Chris that question as I have the early theater. I am big on back up electronics.
So I should be able to get a new board?
From what I was told, Yes.
Thanks for that info

If that's the case, wouldn't the lights work with the other power packs? Or do the lights only work with a certain voltage?
So I should be able to get a new board?
Call Atlas's parts department, they're knowedgable about their products.
