Leave 'em on all the time?

[popeye]

Who leaves theirs on 24/7?

Besides that, the little crinckly noise (on mine seems to be only from the ball pusher under the display). It that normal? SHOULD I LUBRICATE SOMETHING?

BTW. mods: this background and cursour colr is bad. Can you maybe make the cursour color yellow? Or something? Light gray on darker gray is hard to see////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

[luckydog]

leave them on all the time only if you have good fire insurance!!

transformers can overheat during the night

On when you play

Off when you don't

Unless you have one with a great light show (Tigermask)

[Eddie]

Off when not playing and dont forget to use a Power strip to turn them off and on.

That Tigermask sure is nice to look at isn't it? Heck of a lightshow.

This has been ask many time. And there has been some heated debates about it.. My stance: While these machines my be designed to be on all the time, for me the question is, can your home wiring handle the surges of multiple machines Even if they are on a strip, there can be a line failure. Most people already have their circuits overloaded. Some of the smarter people here have dedicated circuits for there game rooms and stay well with in limits.


and congratulations... you make it to your 10 post.

If you're having a hard time seeing the cursor, you can just click on the little white box up and to the right of where you're typing, with the 2 A/A's in it and you'll have black on white!!

Turn them OFF, always.

[FTKServices]

I always turn mine off from the power strip.

[BigTinz]

Is turning the machines off with the power switch inside bad?

Mine are hooked up to surge protectors but it's much easier to just hit the power button.

[Chrisdice]

if you turn the machine off from the inside, power is still going to the transformer. always unplug or turn off from a power strip to avoid a transformer from over heating and causing a fire.

I always always always switch off and unplug mine from the wall socket whenever I have finished playing them for that session

that goes for Pinballs, Mame, anything like that...
