    Vid, Need some help on my re-import WH20. I have just noticed that when i touch the lock down bar and at same time touch another game, I feel a small steady electrical shock.

    After reading your thread, I checked to see if grounding pin is at outlet plug. It is (pics below). I noticed that the ground braid that runs up along the "box" to the coin door and lock down bar receiver was not connected, so I screwed it down to the box through the existing hex screw (pic). But this did not solve the electrical shock.

    I notice my line cord does not have the black insulation inside of the cab, only from the contact point where the cord exits the cab. Could this be the culprit? Have not opened up the little box yet, but assuming that will be next step. Here are pics. Thanks for the help.

    Update: Decided to open up the box. Here is a pic. Let me know if anything looks out of sorts or needs to be replaced.

    Vid thanks for your help. I am somewhat embarrassed to admit I didn't think to check the extension cord I was using.

    The plug and ground from the game's line cord was fine. The extension cord inexplicably didn't have a ground plug. So I am using a new extension cord and the problem is solved.

    Thanks again for our help. Even though this was a simple fix, it is another joy of the hobby learning to diagnose these things.
