Tomy AFX Tri-Power Pack with 3 Voltages
Ever since Aurora stopped production of their two-screw transformer power pack decades ago, all AFX sets have been down on power. The most common complaint is that one car will speed up when the other car comes off. While the voltage rating was high, the problem was always a lack of amperage. That’s all been taken care of with their Tri-Power Pack. Of even more importance, there’s now three different voltages you can set the power pack to including 22 volts, 12 volts, and 8 volts. At all three voltages there’s a full 1-amp of power available just like Aurora's original two-screw transformers. With a standard Tomy terminal track plug attached to it, HO enthusiasts will now be able to switch between running magnet cars on 22-volts and BSRT’s extremely popular G-Jet on 12-volts. It’s as simple as flipping a switch. The new Tri-Power Pack is a very important new product for the entry level racing crowd. Tomy AFX part #8822P - $29.95.
