    I may have run into a problem so just seeing if anyone can possibly help. I have a Williams 1993 Indiana Jones and I bought a Stern Indiana Jones topper. In order to make it work, I purchased a mezelmod “Pinball power tap“. According to what I’ve read, I plug it into the board at J116. But… That is where my new color DMD is plugged into. Is there some other type of power tap that would allow me to plug in both the new topper and the color DMD into J116? Or, Is plugging both into J116 a bad idea?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    I believe the adjacent 4-pin J-tap is the same configuration and will work also or you can use multiple Z-connectors on J-116, I assume the Stern topper is led(s) and they draw little current.

    I really appreciate this feedback. I am going to look into what you’re talking about. Again, thanks a bunch!
