For some reason I thought Terminator 2 (1991) had it before Operation Wolf (3, 1994) but couldn't remember if Operation Wolf 1 (1987) ever had it..

I think that was it! Thanks!!! Also, wasnt T2 the first shooter where the gun had a physical feedback mechanism to make it "feel" like it was shooting?

Help me identify this arcade shooter with lightguns I am trying to remember the name of a stand-up arcade shooter which I believe had 2 lightguns (or two potentiometer guns, I dont know for sure). It was a shooter in the way of Terminator 2 or Operation Wolf. But what I remember was the gun...

This is what it looks like now: https://flic.kr/p/nbTCF8 Picked it up from Home Depot: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Frost-King-E-O-5-16-in-x-1-4-in-x-17-ft-Rubber-Weather-Strip-Tape-V25BA/100024263

I ordered some strip caulk, but didn't use it. It is just dirty, messy stuff. It doesn't peel off the paper uniformly, and I didnt think it would look good under the glass. So I scrapped the idea and went with a type of foam weather stripping from home depot. There are pics in my flickr account...

Thanks brother! Crazy thing is, I remember playing Phoenix off the pcb in this cab with only one button. I had no idea the game even HAD shields until I loaded it up in ArcadeSD once I redid the control panels for more buttons! No wonder I sucked at it as a kid ;)

The previous owner had contacted the arcade builder (I believe in East Hanover, NJ, at the time) which was an authorized Universal builder or distro. I agree that nobody was making multicade cabs, but this one was sold sans any Mr Do! pcb or decals right from the builder. They had also obtained...

IT IS DONE! :) After 3 full months of work, my cocktail arcade cabinet project is done! I want to thank everyone here who helped me along the way. I started this project knowing zero about arcade restorations, and you guys were always happy to answer my [sometimes dumb] questions. I couldn't...

Sounds like that's what I will use, gotta order some. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HteJ3MoDQNA

Thanks guys, I am trying to do this up like the cabinet top was when I got it, so while I thought about doing felt (or just flat black giant poster board) I am still on the quest for this caulk. It's also called 'strip caulk' or even 'strip calk' which instead of a spooled rope, comes in 1 foot...

My cocktail arcade originally had black rope caulk underneath the edges of the glass all the way around, to level and steady the glass and also to keep dust out. That caulk has of course dried and become useless once I removed the glass. But I can't seem to find replacement rope caulk anywhere...

You should be ok. I reached in and used my fingers to adjust the pots on my monitor board. As long as you are grounded or touching the frame, the danger is minimal.

Can't help ya if you make the video private :)

bump. Anyone?

Definitely replace the whole cord for a 3-pronger, and if there's no logical ground to connect the 3rd wire to, ground it right to the chassis (if a metal cab) or FG. Anything is better than not having one.
