I have a constant duty AC (28 VAC) motor that runs in one of my pinball
machines. I wish to control power to the motor such that it only runs
during gameplay. There are "recipe" circuits that do this for DC motors
that do the same thing, in pinball machines. The heart of this "recipe"
circuit is a TIP125 transistor. Will this transistor work in an AC
voltage circuit?, Or, is control of AC motors more complicated than I am
anticipating?

Might you be better off running the motor at a slower speed?
