Hi Ron, I have converted two of my AC-4s to three prong plugs. My rational is that in addition to safety, Drake converted the later model AC-4s to three prong plugs so it is therefore this is a "Drake approved upgrade". Both of these supplies also have the AC-4R upgrade boards and I was less concerned about authenticity and more concerned about safety. My two cents worth.
