    Quoted from russdx:

    Maybe some weird grounding issue rather then current draw?

    That’s the easiest thing to verify so that’s where I would start. http://thecircuitdetective.com/outlet_tester_readings.php

    Quoted from Yelobird:

    Dimming lights means your close to over loading the breaker

    I haven’t heard this claim before. Can you provide some evidence to support it please?

    Quoted from Yelobird:

    I’m sure you could Google thousands of documents to support the concern.

    The onus is on you to support your claim. When someone makes a claim without sufficient evidence to support it you should dismiss it until they provide the evidence.

    Quoted from CDogster:

    Does anyone here run their pinball machine with an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) underneath? If things get expensive, this may be an affordable way to go.

    I don’t think a UPS would help with your issue. A power conditioner might. That's a question you should ask your electrician.
