The game came with a two-prong (ungrounded) line cord, and you may feel a tingle when touching the lockdown bar or side rail and another game at the same time.
Game has a two-prong power cord: fit a grounded three-prong cord
Cause: Without the ground pin, the cabinet metal is not tied to earth ground, so leakage voltage can sit on the metal parts.
Checks
- Unplug the game and inspect the cord's condition.
- With a grounded cord fitted, check for continuity from the ground pin to the ground strap, side rails, legs and lockdown bar.
- Confirm the line fuse is the correct value.
Fix
- Replace the cord with a proper three-prong grounded cord and connect its ground wire to the cabinet ground.
- Do not tie ground to neutral.
This is line voltage work. Unplug the game before working on the cord, and have the wiring checked if you are unsure.
