I've had a TAF with 1st generation Pinstadium (set tastefully) for quite a few years, but recently the TAF shuts down, it seems when people hit both flippers at the same time.

I've read that something could be drawing too much power. Could the Pinstadium be the draw that pushes it over the top? Also I have Color DMD and a B&W still tv set add on)

Any other suggestions (beside get a new hobby- lol)

Disconnect them and see if you still have a problem

Most likely one of your bridge rectifiers are failing

Quoted from rapidraw:

That's just a wild guess.

You really need to go through the troubleshooting guide since there are multiple places where things could be going wrong or where things are failing.

Pinstadiums draw too much power with machine off.

Thanks all for the info. Luckily I do have a multi meter and hopefully can follow instructions on that wiki to test.
