little did he know back them that he would one day be running the show

I hope Pachitalk will have the same life expectancy as our pachis

...the biggest and most important thing you should invest in is a quality surge suppressor for the machine this will take out the spikes that will cause the most harm to electronic components . i would get one for EACH and every machine. sharing a strip can cause a problem should the transformer in one machine go Kamikaze. it then wont cause a spike to the rest on the strip most cheap strips only are looking for the spike to be coming from the electric company not the machine on the same strip . also a power supply can cause a spike into the machine when it gets to the end of it life and no longer regulates well causing damage even though you have the greatest of surge suppressors .

Has anyone had a problem using one power strip for multiple machine'.?
How can you tell if the strip you purchse looks for power spikes both ways



Great post Sid can't believe it didn't get more play.
Perhaps it was aging like a fine wine

I'm on a budget and use cheap power strips for 3 or 4 machines in some cases

even living in a big lightning state I've never lost anything

They do this in the Pentagon. After spending Big $$$ to research the problem.

Old Fashioned Tricks

For years, computer technicians have talked of tying knots (usually three) in the power cords of the computers as lightning protection. They report that in really bad lightning strikes, the power cords with knots were totally destroyed but the computer was perfectly fine. The only cost incurred was for a new power cord. Not bad lightning protection for $3.99!
