Hello all - first time poster here on this thread/club. I have a ToM mod question but my usual Facebook groups and PinballPro.net customer service are unable to offer any suggestion or guidance.

I've added a power supply to the machine to power the topper as well as the PinballPro.net Tiger Saw & Lighted Marquee mirror. The Saw motor and Marquee lights are, of course, triggered by game code.

Can I just move the TP1 positive 12v DC power tap, as well as the ground wire connected to the PCB screw mount, to the power supply? And then it's powered by new power supply but still triggered by the game appropriately or will I blow the game and the new power supply? The two wires I'm referring to are pictured on page 3, middle right, of the included link.

So far I cut the TP1 alligator clip and wired it to the power supply 12v DC. No saw motor, no marquee lights. Something told me to stop with the trial and error at that point. Do I just move the ground wire to the negative on the power supply?

Topper lights powered off Power Supply is working perfectly, at least Game plays nicer without topper/saw/marquee power taps in my opinion. TIA, everyone!!

[SOLVED] and here's how
