just took a t2 in on trade
after wiping 2 inches of goo off the monitor screen
the game fires right up but had a cmos error about gun calbration

so i enterd the test menu and everything is working excpt the player 1 trigger

i swaped the harness over from gun 1 to gun 2 and the problem stays with the gun not the harness so the problem has to be inbetwene the gun 1 trigger nad where it hooks up to the harness

before i crack this puppy open anything i should look for
i do see a thick ground wire that has been cut but it looks like a standard green groind chain wire
 
got it
the metal acutator for the microswitch was not pressing the micro switch bent the metal tab a bit and now it works


my next task is to tear into the gun 2 and see why the recoil does not work (gun1 works lol)



EDIT
ps how the fudge do i open the door on the front to axcess the pcb drawer i undid the top latch but it still wont budge

back when we had T2..... manymanymany years ago, I don't ever recall anyone having to open the drawer on it. in fact, I'm kind of mystified as to why Midway ever dropped that feature on their cabinets, maybe that was just an old 80s thing but whatever.. lol

uh, anyway, I've never opened one of those, not even our old MK, I guess if you can't figure it out you can try asking welove80s cause he has an MK1 cab with the drawer and I'm sure they're the same. try to inspect it from the back if you can, not sure if the monitor gets in the way at all, the shelf part can't be that deep given the layout.

was the latch you found up top or in the middle? if it was up top, there might be another lower one too. lol

EDIT: my skimming skills failed again. reading comprehension FTL. top latch, yeah, look for a bottom one too. lol

Lol still don't see what's holding the door shut lol I need to get the board out so I can replace the CMOS batt

also I did find out what was wrong with gun 2 's recoil the metal plate that prevents the plunger from coming all the way out was broken off I shoved a big rubber stopper inhad lying around in the back side of the gun and now bolth guns work perfect just need to replace the CMOS batt and the game will be 100%
 
yeah, it's gonna be another latch dude. reach further in there. some of the latch placements on cabs are like really weird. my Alpha 3 in a Pit Fighter cab has to be the worst for people with big arms/hands, even I have a bitch of a time getting that open. most times I just take the back door off instead... that's just 1 screw. lol

did you try looking in a manual for it?
