    Had a new one happen this weekend. Party of 50 or so people. Had a 4 player game on Dipsy Doodle raging. After some nudging the backbox back panel unlocked, the panel fell out of the game, and severed the power cord of the jungle Queen sitting next to it. Haha.

    My question is, any reason why I shouldn’t just splice the severed cord back together rather than replace?

    Quoted from vid1900:

    Do it right and replace the entire cord.
    Splice will not pass any inspector, it's not code.
    If your wife ever sells it after you are gone, the whole game will be called into question because of the splice.

    Dammit you guys! You’re supposed to say splice away. Haha. Okay new cord it is.

    Replacing the line cord on Panthera (sys 80)

    Do I have these wires right?

    Okay thanks. That right side is the one with the ribbing.

    Quoted from RC_like_the_cola:

    I always meter it out. Left prong that is larger should be neutral.
    Also, Panthera was my first ever pin in 2003. Got me in and hooked on pin collecting. My next pin was a NIB TSPP.

    Didn’t know that RC! I have a NOs backglass coming from Mayfair soon, then this will be a super nice example.
