Picked up a Genco Rifle Gallery for next to nothing as my first forray into EM. (Always wanted an EM gun game)
Not sure if this is the best 'first project' but everything seems to be there with the exception of some broken parts.

Starting with the most obvious...
Wondering if anyone either has what I think is the motor disc (based on the number of wires going into it compared to the schematic) to replace the one that's broken in this machine.

How else can something like this be repaired/replaced?

Also, can anyone take these other pictures and label some of the assemblies, etc? Or point me to a guide?
Seems Genco made a lot of these in this time period so I assume most are very similar?

Let the fun begin.

Do you have the piece. Is is just broken. If it can be reassembled for electrical continuity, JB weld it.
 
It looks like I broke and separated .. not like a piece broke out of it. I won't have the game for another month or two. Have to clear so.e space in the garage before pling it from storage.
 
You'll need to carefully remove it. The back side is where you start. Make some non-conductive stitch plates out of plastic or fiberglass.

Then JB weld or Gorilla Glue them in place with the pieces set. Make sure you get the contacts that are pulled free stuck in the holes - use a little glue.

You can rebuild this. Ideally, you'd make a ring of plastic / fiberglass that goes on the back side, and glue it back into one piece. Clamp carefully so it stays level - that is key.

It will be hard work, but so worth it when you are done.
 
Thanks. This is what I had in mind
I think it was given up as a lost cause because of this.. which is why I was able to pick it up for $70.

Looking forward to digging into this towards end of the year.

The interesting part will be to reland the wires.

Perhaps using a number system where 1 is the top, and labeling them with wire labels or masking tape all the way around.

The wires have a specific "set" after this many years, but you'll have to use some force to get them to move. It would be nice if it was easier to put together again, which is why I'm suggesting:
1. Number the wires (1, 2, 3, etc)
2. Take good pictures before.
3. Note where wire #1 goes

It should go back together well.

I wonder how they broke that originally? There is no force in that spider that would do that - someone went medieval on that part!
 
It looks like some things may not have been secured inside the machine and it was transported on its back or side. There are a couple of relay stacks in there that look like something landed on them and were squashed/bent.

Then again, someone could have just raged on it.

Either way, I have my work cut out for me.
