Come on guys... don't crap up my thread or I'll have to do more free play hacks to get it back on topic.

That's not how it works... once your thread has been hijacked, you have to make a new thread starting off with, "Since my original thread got hijacked, I'm starting a new thread"...

Welp... now I feel like I shouldn't have asked.
I get Mark's point; I don't want to ask for stuff for free if the person who made it isn't wanting to give it away. That's fair, and I get it. I just wasn't sure if it had been shared at some point or if it's for sale only. Since it's the latter, then no worries.

Any way to get attract mode sounds for Satan's Hollow?
AJNada yes lift one leg of R135 resistor on the sound board. i just did this 2 days ago.to my satans hollow and tron. also wired mine to dip switch #8, so i can turn it off and on. works great.
Thanks for the tip!

I did it on a Satan's Hollow set and after ten minutes or so, the shield sound would get stuck on during the gameplay demo. You have to wait for the screen to advance to the instructions before the sound shuts off again.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Funny how instead of telling people where to buy LCD monitor power switches you just bought a bunch of them marked the price way up and called it a "product".
"Thanks for giving me what I wanted to free! Now buy my stuff!"
Wrongo yet again.
I don't make "LCD monitor power switches"...? And I designed my product from scratch and had it manufactured & printed at great up-front cost. I am not buying someone else's product and reselling it.

Funny... the exact same thing is all over ali express for next to nothing.
Thats ridiculous and you know it. ANY N/O SWITCH will work in either situation. One is specifically made to be mounted to a PCB board and stuck inside of an electronic appliance to be used as a method to turn said appliance off and on. The other is made to be stuck to the front of a video game and add credits. Shit, I used a few as game change buttons in cabs with 2-in-1 switchers installed.
The key thing here is THEY ARE MOMENTARY SWITCHES.
Thats like saying the button in my garage door opener is an LCD power switch. Oh wait, THATS BECAUSE IT CAN BE.
Come on Mark....
I give advise away for free all the time. It may not always be right but I do it because when I started in Coin-Op some 30 years ago NO ONE HELPED ME so I know what it feels like.

Except that membrane switches on flex cables going to some sort of connector is exactly what's in many LCD monitors.... Hell, the ones on aliexpress are even adhesive backed to stick to the front of a game.
This is not something that needed to be specially engineered for this application.
