These days the laws are very strict and specific regarding AC leakage in pinball machines or anything else powered from wall sockets and used in public places; units with any degree of AC leakage over and above a certain Underwriters Labs standard must be taken out of service and not used again until the problem is identified and corrected. I remember seeing a cartoon on television many years ago in which a man playing one of these machines was shown with sparks surrounding him and his feet well off the floor (that's how bad the pinball machine's leakage problem must have been); the game was called "Test Yours" and must have had one heck of a leakage problem or short to electrify the user that much.
