This is a microswitch mount for Cyber Lead cabs, that use the coin reject mechanism to ring in credits. This particular switch was pulled from a worn out Semitsu stick, but I think most switches should fit. It should be installed towards the outside of the cab, or it'll hit the monitor bezel...

Story post! Please comment if you can offer any insight or corrections to my understanding of this cab. It's 2 days old for me, so I'm still learning its secrets. So, I just picked up a Cyber Lead cab. It's been a bit of a grail cab for me for a long time, I really love the colours and shape...

I owned a game store in Canada, I lived in Japan for five years back before the prices went nuts. My collection was massive before the 2011 floods, and the 2 or 3 sell-offs I've done since then. But this time, it's getting into my prized possessions, the stuff that means something to me. I've...

I've just whipped up a coin input mech assembly for the Sega Naomi and Net City series of cabinets. As usual, the switch comes from a worn out Seimitsu LS-40 mech. You can probably use any old switch in there. Enjoy! Latest version will be here...

I've got rust on my NUC cabinet base, and I'm wondering if the best plan is to disassemble the entire base, or paint it in one piece. It's got the usual rust in corners and doors & surrounds, and it seems like pulling it apart would make that easier. But, the rivets gotta come out. No search...

I picked up a bunch of these little voltage displays in Japan. They're a common enough part, but they don't really look great strapped to a wire bundle, so I whipped up a standing holder for them. Figuring on 5 and 12 Volts, or 3.3, 5 and 12 Volts, I did a 2- and 3-bay version. The displays...

I recently borrowed a 3D printer and whipped up some joystick adaptors for my control panels, and then I wanted to do something about the credit input problem. Drilling holes or repurposing buttons didn't appeal to me, so I designed a new thingus. It has a snap-in microswitch 'pocket' and...

A long time ago I tried to make my own 4-way gate, using a piece of plastic cut into shape. It was too soft to work effectively, the stick would force the gate to bend and then get jammed under it. But now, with a 3D printer annoying the rest of the household, I've modified someone else's...

I found this section of the forum long after I started building the 3D model for this. Luckily it doesn't seem like I'm reinventing any wheels here. I'm working on a Seimitsu 40-mm mount (SELS-70x, Neo AES etc) plate for SNK's shallow 96mm panel mounts. While it's perhaps not as nice as @nem...

My cabinet count is increasing and I'm coming up against the usual issues with mounting platers, screw positions, etc. So I started making notes on what I'm finding, WRT to panel mounts, adaptor plates and joystick mechs. https://gamesx.com/wiki/doku.php?id=arcade:joysticks_control_panels...

I've got two of these SNK Super Neo 29 Candy cabs, and of course they're just different enough that a lot of my Sega compatible stuff doesn't fit. I measured and drew up the panel mount for joysticks. Can anyone confirm that these measurements are the same for other SNK Candy cabs? I'm hoping...

I've picked up a pair of these cabs and had to learn all about how they work. Luckily, it came with an English manual so it wasn't too hard. I don't know how many of these pinouts are relevant to other SNK cabs. I've posted them all on the GameSX wiki, and I'm nearly done with a printable PDF...

I recently picked up a Super Neo 29 Candy cab, and it came with the English manual. I wasn't able to find this manual anywhere else, so I scanned it. Enjoy: https://nfgworld.com/files/SNK_Super_Neo_29_Candy_Manual_(English).pdf

I received two Super Neo 29 Candy cabs today, and I'm excited to get them up and running. The seller shipped them with the original Hitachi A68LFP227X tubes, but said that the Toshiba chassis were dead and he was including a pair of Nanao MS9 chassis instead. But... The connectors are...

I've got a 14M4A which recently gave up trying to maintain horizontal restraint, and searching for fixes indicated that yanking L509 would help reveal the nature of the problem. So I yanked it, into two pieces like what happened to Napoleon IV...

Forgive me if this has already been done, I couldn't find anything in my brief search. I am going to build my own 1P Astro City panel. There aren't many 1P designs out there, so I figured maybe a gallery of the designs we've made or seen might be helpful, for inspiration or just showing off...

I have this enormous panel which I definitely have no use for. If you do, it's free! Brisbane area. Will leave it here for a bit before I list it in the usual places. It's got a lot of rust around the edges on the bottom. The top is in pretty decent shape, but for some rust where the bolt...

So I picked up a Raiden Fighters Jet yesterday, and it's near totally dead. On powerup it briefly flashes a white screen and then it goes black. For a while it was holding the white screen, occasionally blue or teal, and once or twice a carpet pattern. Now, just the brief flash, which is less...

I picked up one of Seimitsu's new SELS-70X sticks from CQB, and it's a lovely little thing. The new small base is really neat, and the adjustable shaft length pleases me greatly. I do love a stick with a short throw. But the Astro City panels use an offset-height plate, with two screws at...

I'm working on turning my New Astro City into the do-everything machine, and one of the everythings is running consoles in it. But the RGB from consoles is consumer-level, not arcade-level, and so the image is very dim. Cranking up the dials to make it brighter only results in the poor monitor...
