Things I think should be added to the original ”OP” list.
5A - 1 Before plugging in: with a DMM check that there is NO continuity between the earth pin and active pin or Earth pin and neutral pin of the power plug.
5A -2 check with a DMM that there IS continuity from the earth pin of the power plug and metal parts of the machine like coin door and lock bar.
5B if either fail, have the machine checked out by a qualified person before using. SAFETY FIRST!!
7A Unplug the machine from the wall!!!!

Quoted from j_m_:

exactly what Shpwizard stated above. simply make sure than any eproms windows are covered up with tape (back in the day, we used to use the write-protect tabs for 5-1/4" floppy discs, but electrical or the foil tape that is sold for duct work works just as well

That's a great tip, thanks guys.
