    So do I have this right? The step down transformer that David R posted I plug a number of machines into as long as I don't go over the wattage of the converter I get. Then it is only putting out V to all machines plugged into it. Do most machines use an average wattage at peak play? Or what do you think I should figure as a max wattage for the average machine so I know what size to get. Do you think it would be best to get two or three and plug separate banks of machines into, instead of one big one?

    The extra voltage would be felt on incandescent lamps that are connected directly to the AC output (not regulated).
    But wouldn't the electronics (including LEDs) be powered by regulated DC power supply circuits?
    If anything (other than the incandescent lamps) would be working harder, it would be the regulators... right??? The voltage out of them should stay constant, with the additional power dissipated by the regulators themselves (as heat).

    Has anyone measured the actual DC voltage on these machines in question?
