I ALWAYS add extra earth to EM games i own.. mainly to the transformer when i replace twin cable with 3 core and then to coin door etc. The legs are isolated so no need to earth off, but if wiring especially the ( now) 240V runs against metal it gets earthed.
GTB coin doors are a MUST

Is that all GTB or just EM's?

+1.  I know time is precious but it might be a good thread to start up showing some pics of what owners of older Gtb machines should do to make their machines as safe as possible.  Please.

Yes please, that would be a great benefit to many.

The more importers the better as far as I'm concerned. Some will cut corners and probably fall by the wayside - others will do the right thing and survive.

Replacement Pinball PCBs that remain faithful to the originals

Those containers used to come to the USA. I miss them, unloading a 40 foot container was like Christmas!
