Why is the 5v/12v power tap on STPro actually 8.45v/13.4v?

That's what I measured on my game. Won't it fry things plugged into it? Especially things that are constantly on.

You measured the 5V against the unregulated12V by accident. 13.4V-5V =8.4V

Try it again with the meter on the 5V and the ground.

Your right, I did it wrong. Next time I'll be sure to use a light when I do something in a dark place. Thank you.

FYI: I measured the 6.3V "GI" at the pop bumpers with an oscope last weekend...
It's really DC... and varies between 4.32 and 5.76V. No 6.3V seen... and yes; that's 1.44V of variance.
So; it wouldn't be inconceivable that these rails wouldn't be in tolerance.

Thanks Zitt but I just made a stupid mistake. I'm nowhere near as good as you.....but I'm trying.
