Simpsons, The
Data East, 1990Hey guys
I've had my Simpsons (Data East) setup in my basement for 20 years and was told that the power cord was pulling on the Electrical Outlet when unplugged.
The Outlet is a Ground Fault Line and I'm wondering if i need to be concerned?
I understand what he’s saying. When he pulls the plug it’s pulling the outlet. What’s happening is the outlet itself is not tight to the junction box in wall. Pull the cover and tighten the screws. If the outlet ears are not sitting on the drywall and going into the wall when you tighten then you have to get spacers to fill the void between outlet ears and plaster ring on junction box. You can get them from big box store in electrical section
