Quoted from BlackCatBone:I've got a Miami Beach with an original power cord that is brittle and cracked. It looks like a standard lamp cord. Is it OK to use lamp cord as a replacement?
Thanks...
No, it's not okay. Today's electrical standards use a grounded plug (and outlet) and you should upgrade the cord and install ground braid as described in Vid's guide, post 15. https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/replacing-line-cords-plugs-wall-sockets-vids-guide#post-1945124
Then when you're done turn all your machines on and check to see if any voltage is present when you touch the leads of your DMM to adjacent machines. If any is present fix it immediately.
