I did a search but came up blank, so I thought I would pose the question. Do any of you ever change the service outlets in your em games (that have them) I always find it annoying when I go to plug in my soldering iron, and of course it doesn't fit into the old non-polarized outlets. I figured a modern 2 prong outlet swapped in would obviously fix that issue. Just curious if anyone has done this?
Cheers
Quoted from Otaku:I use one of those 2-prong to 3-prong adapters as my soldering station is grounded.
I've never had an issue with it fitting, so maybe you want to invest in one just for that very unintended functionality, even though you're just doing 2-prong to 2-prong.
That's a really good idea I didn't even consider! Off to the hardware store to pick one of those bad boys up.
Quoted from newmantjn:I thought that they were illegal in Canada? Anyway, I keep a 1 foot (30.47 cm) extension cord with the third prong cut off and the fat plug ground down for these occasions. Also, the cord has 3 outlets, so I can plug in my dremel as well.
Wouldn't surprise me up here. I didn't have a chance to go look yet.

Remember, this is the country where that required isolation transformers in old EMs (at least Ontario did).
And early solid state. I have a pile of them 
Thanks for the link!
Quoted from pinhead52:got any cages that went over them? It was a nice nostalgic touch.
Nah, I just got a box of transformers from an old collector. I save them for building arcade cabs.
