I had my Galaxian CT on for about an hour today (no cooling fan FYI) and touched the coin door to play a game. Randomly, I got odd shocks coming from any metal part of the coin door!?! Anyone have ideas? It's making me a bit nervous.

It could be braided steel wire (in a flat "ribbon") if not yellow, i can check mine and see what they used but it doesnt matter as long as they are grounded
Your dad is mistaken, that is not the only reason... Example: If the power line to the monitor came loose during a move, and shorted to your coin door, but your coin door isnt grounded, the the person touching it becomes the ground...
There could be something else going on (coin door lights or coin lockout solenoid shorted) but once its grounded properly, you wont feel the shock anymore, and a short in the wiring may pop fuses the way it should
My dad doesn't believe any of this in the slightest. According to him the 3rd prong is only used for emergency power during a surge...
I understand THAT. What kind I mean! What type of connector (on the OTHER end of the 3 prongs)?!?! Any specific links to where I can buy exactly what I need?
