Vectorbeam TAILGUNNER question

Hi;

I am working on a full restoration of a Tail Gunner (as well as a dozen other games as well as projects) and need a little help.

The ribbon cable was torn off the control panel that goes to the CCPU and I cannot figure out which way it was originally connected.

Would someone please be able to take a couple of good pictures of the CCPU and the underside of the control panel showing the orientation of the connections to both locations? I need to see how the red stripe is orientated.

My e-mail is: [email protected]

Thanks very much in advance.....

Jeff

the header says speedfreak, the text says tail gunner. I could help with speed freak, but my cabinet is seriously buried in my garage.. would take me several days to even try to get to it.
 
Oooops. too tired, I should have waited until the morning, it is actually a Tail Gunner that I am looking for information on, as I am also restoring a Speed Freak, I guess my brain shorted out...... Sorry but thanks for the reply.

The cable should be oriented in the direction in which the cable naturally falls away from the chassis. If it tends to cross over the circuit board then it is oriented backward.
 
The CCPU connection, the ribbon cable goes "up" but the connection to the control panel is the problem. It was ripped off the connector and it could be attached one of two ways and I want to make sure I get it right the first time.

If I can get 2 pics, one of the CCPU connection and one of the underside of the cp where it attaches, that way I can see which way the red stripe is facing and fabricate the new cable correctly.
Thanks
