I've seen this many times.

As operators got out of pinball they have less experience in fixing their power supplies.

Those video game power supplies are piled sky high in every operator's warehouse, so someone somehow though that would be an easier fix.

There is probably one of those in every Galaga/Ms Packman in the world.

You can leave it for now, but I'd do a proper fix at some point.

You can always make the service outlet switch on with the power switch if you want to.

I do this when I have a powered sub amp inside games I'm restoring.

Most sub amps say they "turn off" when they have 15 mins of no signal, but it seems they like to stay awake in pinball machines.
