So, could you have more than 1 power supply run in parallel, both supplying the same set of wires, so he could just have more than one power supply and not have to rewire?
How much power are we talking, is the current carrying capability of the wire a consideration here?
Swapping the lamps out for LEDs does seem like a good idea.
Thanks,

It is a hideaway and has 1 auxiliary power supply. It hasn’t worked in years but I’m trying to understand if they ran 10 wallboxes oon the power supply and if this would be an issue if only one or two were used at a time.
The power draw is primarily the lights and autotransformer to drive them. If you were to swap the lamps with LEDs you'll probably be fine with ten of them on a single power supply.
Only one wallbox can be "used" at a time. If selections are made on more than one at the same time the pulse train will be corrupted and the jukebox will either play a wrong selection or none at all.
