Hi Guy's

Just got a working Area 51. This one is weard. There does not seem to be any on/off switch ANYWHERE! There are 2 test BUTTONS inside the coin door cab. They do not seem to function unless I need to press them in a certain sequence or during the start up or what? The game plays just fine, CRT looks nice. The question is, How do I get into the test mode? Also where is the friggen on/off switch (is it possible there is none?)
 
ok post some pics of what you have. It is very possible this is a conversion and hell, mabye there isnt a power switch anymore lol but it might be hiding somewhere too.

As far as a test switch, same thing applies.

However heres a neat trick. If you look at the pcb, most of these area 51s have an ONBOARD test switch. If you see a small black switch, flip that and see if it then goes to test mode for you.
 
The test switch also needs to be held in for a couple seconds to work on this game. You can't just press and release.
