Terminator 2 Wiring Question

[quickray]

I have a quick question about the wiring on Terminator 2 (gun game) by Midway.

I'm just hoping someone can confirm where the steel braided grounding strap, that runs from the middle of the bottom panel of the cab (next to the ISO Transformer) up toward the front, connects? The end has a ring terminal. I'm just uncertain on where it goes.

There is a stud at the bottom of each gun where another grounding strap goes (this one is on the bottom of the control panel). This same stud is also for the ground wire for each gun.

But where does this separate grounding strap connect? One of the same studs?

T2 is just a straight wood panel, so there's nothing on that to attach the ground braid to. there should be braid stapled to the wood connecting between the 2 guns. the T2 at work has been on the fritz if you want me to open it and see how it's run. the cabinet came from a total hack though so far all I know the grounds aren't even connected.

Probably a hinge bolt.

Yup, there is a ground braid stapled to the wood in the middle of the cab. There is a ring terminal on the other end. I have no clue what this attaches to. The whole thing is about six feet long and runs the bottom up to the inside of the front panel, stapled.

Of course there is also this ground strap stapled to the underside of the control panel. This attaches to the little stud on each gun via a wing nut. That makes sense, it's that other one I'm confused about. See photos. Makes sense.

So if you can check on yours if you get a chance it would be awesome.
Thanks!

Here's a photo I found online. It's this braided wire. Sorry, jus lt trying to be as clear as possible.

It runs up the inside of the front panel and has a ring terminal at the end. No idea where it goes.

the base of the transformer assembly sits on top of the braid on the bottom.

Correct. And the other end that is stapled and running up the front of the cab. Where does it go? That side has a ring terminal on it. At least for my game.
