Yes, except the one for Star Wars has an extra 3 prong molex plug for
the PCB cooling fan. Not a big deal to modify a tempest/space duel/etc
transformer to power the fan. There's even a pre cut hole for the extra
molex plug, and you can wire it in on the bottom side of the transformer
to the feed for the marquee light (same voltage - 110 AC). Or if you
don't care whether it looks original, just splice the fan wiring into
the marquee light wiring and forget about modifying the main
transformer.
