Yes thats when the ride was imported, in the late seventies. Possibly around 1978.
The reason I asked the question about the control of the lighting, is that ripple free DC in Australia has to be less than 110Volts to be condsidered extra low voltage.
Since it is SCR driven, the output to the lights would be considered AC and therefore the wiring would have to meet our code.
Which it doesn't, since we have exposed single insulated wiring, no earthing or grounding of the metal panels and all this is exposed to the weather and within arms reach.
I guess my main question is would it meet the NEC standards of today?
