Now I use need to drill out the locks. The guy never sent me the key. God I hate that. It took me two and a half hours to get it in the house. It was wayyyyy too wide to fit through. The door. I had to remove the screen door the door, and door frame. Lol what we do for our games ! Does anyone know how to drill out the locks? I will post some pictures soon.
 
Cool man! I would try and get to the lock from behind before trying to drill it out. Some machine's coin door locks can be accessed through the back side of the cabinet.

yeah, if you can unbolt the coin doors off from the back, do that. you'll have to remove the metal cash box part to get at the lower coin door lock. drilling locks sucks, I've had to do my share of them.
 
Yup just follow that video. Makes it easy, I was able to drill through my MK coin door when I got it and it left me thinking, "it was that easy?" I am surprised these machines don't get broken into more often on location.
 
Great game, I frequently miss mine. I'd definately try going through the back door first, even if you have to drill that one, you can access the other 4 through there (so you only have to drill 1 vs 4).

well when i open the back the only two i see that are in the open are the left and right panels. the coin doors are boxed it. i need to get to the volume knob as it is turned down(at least thats what i am hoping!) i read it could be an amp or board issue as well. pray for me gentlemen! oh and here is a pic of this beast!

Awesome machine. That thing is a beast!

Yeah it takes like 30 seconds to drill a lock. Not a big deal.

Thank you! It took me two and a half hours to get it from the porch to where it's at. Long story but I will dread when I move. Never again my friend! Lol... Thanks for the video too!
 
okay so i drilled it out and i got into it. i do NOT have any sound. i made sure the volume knob was all the way up and still nothing. once i put the right access panel back on, the sound came on and was working perfect. i turned the machine off and then turned it back on, and BAM no sound again. i pulled the panel with the speakers and followed them down to what i believe is the amp. no wires are burnt cut or touching, just no sound. I am assuming a bad amp? if anyone could help me please let me know.... this BLOWS! there goes the excitement of having house of the dead in my house.
 
looks nice, sucks about the sound, wiggle all the wires that go to the soundbaord and see if that changes anything.

Thanks buddy. I did follow the wires jiggled them and still nothing. I emails a guy and he said it was a Bad potentiometer. He has experience with these machines so lets see :-(.
 
just plug a set of pc speakers into it :p

it has line out jacks on the n1 motherboard that feed the amp, the amp also gets 14v ac from a small transformer.
 
if it's a bad pot you can jumper the 2 wires together and you should get full volume. DO NOT leave it hooked up this way for to long as you'll blow out your speakers and your soundboard won't like 0ohms resistance for a long period either.

Do you know where I could jump the wires or where the pod would. W?
 
the volume pot is wherever you turned the volume knob up in post #10 just use a piece of wire or some gator clips and wire to short the two wires together.
 
Okay guys got the sound working(for now) followed all the wires and seemed to be a loose connection as it turned on and is now working perfect! I have my fingers crossed.
