???

Bought my 1st pinball earlier this week - it is a 70 gottlieb aquarius. Been doing some reading and see most EM games have 20V AC inside but read that some have 50V and some parts may have the full 120V. I have a few things to figure out and fix on mine but to diagnose I need to power it up and play with the switches - is this dangerous?

When I first got it I touched the buzzing switch on the coin door (the switch that connects to the start button) and felt a tingle - is that the worst I can expect?
