Hi! I just moved into a new apartment up in Northern CA in a big, old building. I have a Super Mario Bros. cabinet I'm plugging in from an ungrounded outlet, using a chain of three 2 prong cords (the ground for the arcade has been clipped). My basic question is: am I going to set the building on fire? I don't know how many volts these things take, and I want to make sure I'm not doing anything unsafe... I don't think these cords I'm using are intended for heavy duty (looks like they're rated at 120V? I know nothing about electricity, I'm assuming it has something to do with wizards). Any suggestions? Should I get a thicker, heavier duty extension cord plugged into a surge protector? Thanks.
