Stupid me...I checked better and the info IS in the manual (p.52): pin 2 to center lug (wiper) of pot pin 1 and 4 to side lugs of pot The manual doesn't say anything about the pot rate but I'm pretty sure it's 5k. Anyway, I noticed another thing: according to the manual the 4-pin connector at...

Hi all, been a long time since I last posted here...anyway, I just got hold of a Smash TV boardset that works OK but needs a pot as volume control (I think this is a common feature of many Williams/Midway games). I've searched the RGVAC archives and found conflicting statements about both the...

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Probably that's because you're exclusively into early 80's games, in which case you're right: those dedicated cabs can only be considered as a whole.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Oh man, man... To begin with, you should know that Jamma games that only came as conversion kits are by definition "board only" games...If I had, say, a Gunforce PCB installed in a generic cab, I'd have no other choice but list it as "board...

MK is jamma+ because of its 5 buttons per player, whereas jamma only allows 3 per player... There must be a secondary connector on the board for the 4 exceeding buttons...

$46 actually...$30 the top button stick and $127 the spinner... But I didn't ask where to find it... Thanks, anyway...

I have the PCB but not the optical paddles (that you twist to rotate the gun and press to fire), which are very hard to find. I have thought of the following alternatives: 1) A rotary optical joystick (for 8-way movements as well as gun rotation) and a normal pushbutton (to fire). Gameplay...

I just want to add one thing: Emulators are an invaluable tool for hi-score purposes. Holding a record on a certain coin-op means nothing nowadays. For obvious reasons: very few people own the original machine and they are not necessarily the best players around. Furthermore, according to Twin...

Jaded, nothing prevents you from having original marquee, CPO, side art, bezel, etc. of your favourite game on a mame-cabinet... If you like to see scratches, chips, cigarette burns on your own machine(s), then your aesthetic taste is different from mine: I'd rather go for mint stuff (and I...

Jonathan, I've read all your posts and I could not find a single reference to TRUE ARCADE GAMES...only consoles, emulators and... cereals! Do you really think this is the place for you, pal?
