    Should I replace these cords?

    Bought some old machines this weekend. I'm not sure if I should replace these or not.

    Depends on if you prefer your shop or a pile of ashes. Look like something you might get a "Kick" out of when plugging them in!

    Just plug them in and leave them unattended for several hours. If your shop is still there later, they're okay and don't need to be replaced.

    I've been afraid to plug in much better cords than those.

    Don't be a wuss. A little cosmetic issue is nothing to be worried about; plug 'er in .

    perfect way to test your circuit breaker sizing..... I would have a fire extinguisher in hand and talk your most gullible buddy into plugging it in.... use a wood broom handle to turn it on and have your wife in the doorway with video cam for the internal fireworks display and the fire dept on speed dial

    life can be boring - live a little and take a stroll on the wild side -

    Why in the heck would you take the time to ask a bunch of strangers on the internet. It would be much quicker to just plug it in and see if it works.
