Quoted from drsfmd:I don’t even see a place where the grounding pin should be. Remember, I’m trying to go from a two prong Euro to a three prong US.
You're cutting off the Euro and replacing it, or replacing the whole cable. You're not concerned with how a Euro plug is grounded because you won't have one one your game.
Where the power cord comes into the game and gets opened up what color are the wires and where are they currently connected?
BTW, Vid's guide covers this. Last question, just above the photos. https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/replacing-line-cords-plugs-wall-sockets-vids-guide#post-1945119
The schematic probably calls for an 8 amp/250v main fuse if it lists one at all. 5a is enough for most EMs. Stick with 250v. Pinball Life has them 45 cents each.

Doubtful the main will be a slo-blo but check the schematic.
