All,

I have two Data East PCBs, Heavy Barrel and Midnight Resistance. They both have their volume at maximum or higher. When the games booted up for the first time in my cabinet the volume scared the crap out of me. The original dedicated cabinets had volume pots in the cabinet I believe.

Can I somehow install a volume potentiometer in my cabinets JAMMA harness to control the volume going to the speaker?

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Andy
 
Is there a reason not to turn down the volume on the pot on the game's PCB?

I've had bad luck with onboard pots and read the manual and it says the pots were set to mid and the factory and should not be adjusted but who reads the manuals, right?

I guess I could try it but I am willing to install a volume knob if that's all it would take.

Thanks
 
Don't worry about the manual, just turn it down on the pcb... That is why there is a pot there in the first place.
