Just got my Marble Madness. Only had about 15 minutes to play with it... heck, I'm still pretty good after 20 years :) :)

It doesn't appear to have a power switch. I haven't investigated yet, but I assume that's normal. Am I right? Or, maybe I just didn't see it and it happens to be turn to the on position.

I saw a thread about a Zaxxon not having a power switch recently... I'm surprised any game wouldn't have it.

system 1 cabs should have a power switch on the back of the cab. Lower right hand corner I believe if you are facing the back of the machine.

This is correct. If looking at the front of the machine, it on the left in the back. Took me a while to find it the first time. Makes it hard if it's in a row of games :(

Hmm. I don't see it. I do see a hole... maybe someone removed it? I'll see if I can find a picture of it... or does anyone have a pic?

It's right next to where the power cord comes out of the machine.

Yeah, though if you're not seeing it, they seem to be broken quite often. IIRC they used plastic switches, which probably get snapped off pretty easily. The switch on my MM is broken.

Turns out my cab didn't have a switch on the back. See the image below.

I did find the switch. It was inside the cab as show below.

I haven't looked that close, but I think I just need a hex nut or similar to connect it so that it sticks out the back.

Yep... you could probably just take the nut that's on the switch off, stick the switch through the hole, then put the nut back on.
