I am new to this forum, but have been collecting arcade games and pinball machines since 1989.
I recently scored a nice Police 911 2 on Craig's List in the SF Bay Area for $250. As an unexpected bonus the flash card for the original 911 game was inside the coin box. The rotating beacon did not work. The gears were stripped. I was able to find a $20, 110v replacement beacon at a Mall Store, "Spencers Gifts". It is an almost perfect fit.
Now to my problem:
The seller had disclosed that the gun had issues, and would work on and off. I had great success with the game for the first week, but now the problem the seller spoke up has returned. The gun is not registering on the screen. I have checked all of the cables and connections to the gun, cleaned the monitor, glass, and gun lens. The seller seemed to think it may have something to do with the game board. He had prevously replaced the Konami gun with a Happ gun in an attempt to fix the problem. It has gotten progressively worse and now is nearly unplayable. When in gun calibration settings the gun will only occasionally register a hit on screen.
I was hoping someone had encountered a similar problem, or might have additional suggestions I have not tried. As a case of last resort I was looking for a referral to send the PCB out for repair/diagnostic.
Thank you, John
