    Hello!
    I recently got the Tomy American Pinball machine that was made in I think 1991. When I first got it It worked great without issue. It sat in a box for a few days (it was a Christmas gift to my boyfriend) and when he opened it we powered it on to play it. Well it now has the issue of powering off mid-play. It will work for a few rounds then shut off including the red light. Once you turn off/on again or hit the reset button a few times it comes back on but then shortly shuts down again. You can't play a full game without it turning off 3-4 times. Im thinking it may be a power cord issue but has anyone else had this issue? Is there something else that could be wrong with it?
    It is in very good condition.
