Hi Wayne, First, all Gem machines including Topaz, TopazX, Sapphire, etc... have the same feeders. You can use either FV feeders (which were the ones when Topaz was introduced), or CL feeders (which came when Topaz X was introduced). Both types of f

Posting a few more pix on how the 24V is sourced from our Emerald-X (Yamaha YV88X) which looks very similar to your machine. Look for the power supply connector for the dump feeder (which we bought used out of Shenzhen - working well). The green belt
