I am trying to restore an old operation Thunderbolt gun to use with mame for directional gun games. I am connecting the pots and buttons to an Apac but I am not sure how to connect the recoil solenoid.
First, does anyone here know what size PSU the solenoid on this gun uses?
Second, does anyone know how they achieved full auto recoil on the original Operation Thunderbolt cab? I can't see any 555 timers inside the gun. I am fairly sure that if I just connect a power supply to the solenoid, it would activate one per trigger press instead of auto cycling.
If full auto recoil is achieved with an autofire circuit attached to the trigger relay, that would be easy to replicate with an arcade guns recoil dongle. If not, I am a little stuck...
