Not sure about EMs as I do not own any but I checked a late DMD and it was running at 100-150 watts. I suspect that the EM would be slightly more.
If you don't remember the 70s then you were on drugs.
If you remember playing pinball in the 70s you were having a good time.
If you don't remember anything,  then read about it here,

That would be about right for an EM also.. i only ever put a 200W stepdown into imported EMs.. they dont draw much juice at all

Em's Watts used on a Gottlieb "Card Whiz" (2 player) is 93watts and a Gottlieb "JungleQueen" (4 player) draws 143watts. But a Gottlieb "High Hand" single player uses 170watts, not sure why this is maybe more globes or extra coils being held on etc.
