PLEASE DON'T
We constantly get equipment returned after use with the ground pin of the A.C.
cord removed. This is both illegal and extremely dangerous. With the ground
pin removed, and should a fault occur in a piece of equipment, all metal parts

would be potentially 'live' and therefore LETHAL. Don't do it!!!
