I have a Williams "Space Shuttle" and I'm trying to install some lighted flipper buttons from Coin Taker. Where can I tap into a 12 Volt Power source near the flipper buttons? I'm guessing that the plugs that came with it will need to be cut off and it will need to be hardwired? Also.... I bought a 12 Volt LED Strip that plugs into an ordinary 120 volt, wall socket power supply. Can I tap into the same 12 Volt source as the one for the flipper buttons? I want the LED strip to light up only when the game is switched on. There is nothing fancy about the strip. It doesn't change colors, or flash, and no remote control. It's 5 meters long and lights up in blue, same as the flipper buttons. I am electronically illiterate and need as much help as I can get. Thanks!

This is better for older machines and cheaper. Use those for your AC/DC if don't already have them! Get some clear flipper buttons from pinball life.
As far as the led strip, don't really know. Is there a plug in inside cab at the power switch box?

Is there somewhere to tap into 12volt power near the coin door?

Why not just wire a 12v transformer brick to the on/off switch?

I know nothing about 12v transformer bricks and less about wiring them. Can you explain this in a little more detail. Thanks.

There's this for $7
https://www.amazon.com/JACKYLED-Power-Supply-Adapter-110V/dp/B006NTNGN0/ref=pd_lpo_23_lp_t_3

It comes with connector to wire up to lights.

Never mind... Has some bad reviews
