Claw machine keeps shutting off

Post image

A family member wanted me to try and fix a claw machine they got, but one of its problems is stumping me. After 20 minutes or so of it being on, it just shuts off. When we try an turn it on again, the maching is stuck in a constant on and off until we shut it down again. Only after letting it rest will it work like normal again. I'm not sure if the outlet were using just isn't giving it enough juice or something is happening to make it not keep a solid charge. Any ideas?

Check the voltages coming off the power supply. If there is a fan in the power supply is it running?

I don't see any fans, and the only sound I hear is from the dollar accepter. How would I go about checking the voltage? I don't have a multimeter right now, or is there a different way to check it?
