This information applies to US Configured Pinball Machines only and is not applicable to EU or other power configurations. See our blog post on this topic for more information.
Pinball machines of all types going back decades have included a Service Outlet which was included to assist in game servicing and repair, The outlet allows the use of electric tools to be plugged in and powered in close proximity to necessary repair work.
The service outlet cabinet lighting options use our 120AC/5V power supply (see image) on this outlet. If your game does NOT have a Service Outlet, our power supply can be used in a standard US wall plug if desired.
In all cases, cabinet lighting powered in this fashion must be manually powered off using the supplied LED controller
Where to find the Service Outlet
To find your service outlet, start by looking inside the cabinet/backbox near where your games on/off power switch is found.
Many games include the service outlet in the base of the cabinet near the coin door.

Some modern games have moved to including a service outlet in the backbox as shown here.
