    Same here, if I want to leave one on to play more that day I will power the other machines off with the built in switches but remember as long as the transformer is getting power it will still be sucking on the line. The machine can't tell if it was the switch or the mains so all is good using the power strip

    Everything that I have ( 8 pinball, 25 Pachislo, 14 Pachinko, 3 arcade games and 2 cranes ) are all on power strips that I turn on and off while leaving all machine switches in the on position. 8 years, no issues and I feel comfortable leaving the house knowing that everything is off and protected.

    I went the extra and put a switch on top of the power strip so I could just turn on one machine at a time or all together. You can see the switch in my posts under Power strips.

    This is the type of powerstrip I personally use on my machines, each plug has it's own on/off swith, so I just turn on the machines I want
    to play at that time.Powerstrip.jpg

    I hadn't ever seen a strip with individual switches either. Never too old to learn something new.
