Silly question and two prong plug for pachislo

[johnnyabc]

I just picked up a sinbad adventure pachislo. It has a two prong plug and also has a seperate wire that runs as a ground right next to it. Do I have to plug the ground wire into the screw in the middle of the outlet or can I leave it alone? Should I change this to a three prong plug? Also could someone post a picture of the inside of their sinbad. Mine came with a few things loose and I think I got them back in the correct area. Also is a 110 transformer okay for this machine. Any information would be appreciated.

some people want their machines all grounded, I have never had a shock problem with a 2 prong plug on any of my machines.

I guess it would depend if your floor was damp or dry.

110 is your voltage, your amp reading would be 5 to 7 amp.

Also the ashtray was broken. Does anyone know where I can pick up a replacement part?

Contact Milt @ http://www.stealthhomeamusement.com or Gaku!
They both usually have tons of parts!
I would say you could replace the 2 prong with a 3 prong cord seeing as how you have a + and - and a ground wire!
Also you will want to use a surge protector strip for more protection of the precious pachi's, also an easy way to turn them all on & off!
I myself have always wondered why the Pachislos come with a 2 prong cord and not a grounded 3 prong cord?????
I would much prefer a grounded cord myself, haven't had any problems yet with the 2 prong & (Surge Protector Strip), but for safety
i prefer a 3 prong grounded cord connected to a Surge Protector Strip!
I Surge Protect all my electronics, TV, computer, etc.....Pachislos!
I may be crazy or overprotective being a Firefighter/Medic, but you wouldn't even imagine some of the things that have started fires!
I never leave my toaster, coffee maker, etc....plugged in when not in use!
I don't even like to leave a light on when no one is home, unless it's a flourescent (which all of mine are)!
Hope this helps! Lucky you! Got a Sinbad Adventure!
I'm in the market for 1, but there in short supply at the moment!

110 is fine and the 100 volt is fine also the rectifiers in the power supply will take care of the extra 10 volts its what there designed to do . as for the ground issue if it will make you feel better by all means hook up the ground but get a power strip with fuse protection and surge protection dont go cheap on this part it could save your machine from the power companies spikes .......

I also received a machine with a small third wire taped to the main power cord. Would it be good to just find a metal plate or something in the machine and screw it to it? It was unhooked when I got the machine. Thanks somebody!

[alstonj1]

the wire can be attached to the screw holding the cover plate on your receptical the other end should be attached to the power supply enclosure . if you replace the cord with a three prong cord attach the ground to the power supply housing also either way will work just as good .
