Ok, thanks you very much for the help! I´ll look for a transformer that can deliver about 800 watt.

Safta,
  I would replace the complete wiring harness and both fan motors. The wire harness cost about 35.00 U.S. and the fans are 26.00 U.S.  It will run more efficiently and you will not have to worry about old rotton wires shorting out and causing a fire. The wiring harness comes with simple instructions. You will not need an electrician. Terry ':drinkers:'

Not to say that sodaworks is wrong in any way, but if you look over the wiring and it looks ok there is no reason to replace it. If mine is brittle of frayed I replace them on origional machines but for example I am selling a Pepsi vf56 today and I went over it this week and the wiring looked fine so I am keeping it the way it is. As for fan motors. Some people replace them and some people don't. I say if it aint broke don't fix it. A good running fan motor could run for another 50 years, but at the same time it could go out tomorrow. On restored machines I replace them but on an origional If it seems fine I keep it that way.

The voltage step-down transformer rated at the correct VA (wattage, technically A.C. electric motor power is rated in Volt-Amps, ie: "VA" ...D.C. power is rated in "watts") but it's not a big deal to refer to it as "watts"....so enough electrical theory 101...

Also be sure your evaporator electric motor & condensor's motor are rated for 60/50 hz (cycles) of A.C. line frequency,
it's 60hz here in the States & Canada, the only reason I mention it is because at 50hz, the motors will consume a little more power & generate more heat (if they're not rated for 50/60hz) & you'll have to take it into consideration in sizing the step-down transformer.  just a thought

800 Watts = 1200VA (approx)

(Watts x 1.414 = VA; VA x 0.7 = Watts)

Safta,
  You can get the harness and motors from sodajerk works or Funtronics. ':drinkers:'
