Reply to "5V PS2 steamer smoke unit"

I'm thinking you might even be able to tap the output of the reverse-unit's bridge rectifier. Then you can use an eBay 99 cent (free shipping from Asia) DC-to-DC converter modules to get your 6-6.5V DC for the heater voltage. The diodes to lower the heater to ~5V DC fan voltage would be, say, 20 for 99 cents on eBay (free shipping from Asia).

It sounds like you have a PS2 engine with failed PS2 electronics board set. If you're a DIY enthusiast and handy with a soldering iron, it might be interesting to see if you can restore puffing smoke which is a nice feature of PS2 vs. PS1. That is, I'm guessing the flywheel-tach sensor is still functional. I'm imagining a simple digital counter circuit (less than $5) that uses the existing tach sensor to pulse the 5V fan voltage to effect 4 puffs per revolution of the driver wheel.
