The guy who previously owned my house finished the basement but did
not do so up to code. I have entire walls without a single power
outlet. I have three pins (two solidstate and one EM) along one of
these walls. Here's the question: Is it safe to use a single
extension cord with a total of nine plugs in it to plug in these three
pins, two lamps and a neon clock? That cord, of course, would be
plugged into a single outlet. Is the draw from the components
descrbed above too much for a standard indoor extension cord? I would
rather not have to go to a second extension cord due to the clutter.
I appreciate your expert opinions.

Well, this is mixed depending on game play.
4-8amps on a 110v circuit is what you want to size, since it will blow
the fuse at 8amps on the SS games. My friend just measured his MB and
it takes 2.1amps just in attract mode. most i would put on a 15amp
circuit is 3-4 machines. extension cord are rated so depends on the
extension cord. 18-2 should do two machines.
