I need an Alien expert!

I have a machine and it seems to work perfectly...except for the coils.

When no coil has fired, the next coil fired is strong as it should be...but if you fire another coil immediately, it's very weak and if you keep trying to fire one (like a flipper) they become weaker and weaker.

If you wait a few seconds, the first coil to fire is strong again.

I've replaced all 4 USB cables with double shielded and ferrite.
I have also done the capacitor mod.

I'm in touch with my expert.
After lots of testing...the next step is to buy a new 70V power supply.
My expert is currently looking for a suitable replacement.

With regarding to the power issue...here's what I've done.

Exchanged all 4 I/O boards with new board (I moved them around one at at time)
Exchanged Power Driver Board with new
Exchanged 70V Power Supply with new
Checked power wiring to each I/O board area
Updated all USB cables with new shielded w/ferrite
Added capacitor mod
Unplugged 1 I/O board at a time and rebooted (2 board wouldn't allow a ball to eject)

I'm still having all the coils lose power after repeated firings.
They seem to get weaker with consecutive firings....but if I wait about 4 seconds...I get full power again.
