Cabinet Modifications
1. Verify the operation of the existing game before making any changes to the cabinet. Pay special attention to those components that will be used again after conversion is completed (Power Supply, Video Monitor, Currency Acceptors, Wiring Harnesses, Cabinet Locks, Lighted Marquee, etc.).
2. Switch off power to the game. Disconnect the line cord from the A.C. power. Clear the work area. Cover or protect the non-wood items (marquee, monitor, coin door, brackets, line cord, etc.).
3. For cabinets with wood grain sides, remove the old decals and any artwork.Clean off all glue residue. Fill gouges, unused holes, etc with quick-hardening wood putty. Sand smooth and remove all dust.
4. Evenly cover the entire cabinet with black paint. Allow the paint to dry completely before continuing.
5. Pencil a line roughly at the top of the previous graphic. Lightly moisten the cabinet with soapy water. Remove the backing and apply the decal. Start at the top and work down. After the decal is in place, smooth it outwards, taking care to squeeze out air bubbles. If you can not remove an air bubble, pop it with a knife or pin and smooth it down. Allow at least 12 hours for the adhesive in the decal to set.
6. Remove the existing marquee from the game cabinet and install the new kit marquee in its place. Check the lamp and install a new one if cracks or darkened ends are found, even if it still lights at the time of inspection. Clean the marquee glass before reinstalling it in the game.
7. Remove the viewing glass and set it in a safe place. Clean the CRT and the bezel. Apply the player moves and the game play instruction decals to the top and bottom front of the monitor bezel. Place the Epilepsy Warning label and the AAMA rating on the top front of the monitor bezel. Be sure that the decals and labels do not obstruct the viewing area. Clean the viewing glass before reinstalling it.
8. If this kit is installed in a MIDWAY universal video cabinet (model 40135), the FCC compliance label (16-10139) supplied is to be placed on the rear of the cabinet. Installation of this kit into any other product does not guarantee compliance with FCC requirements. The FCC compliance label supplied should not be installed on the converted product until FCC compliance is verified.
9. Remove and save the screws at the top and sides of the rear door. Unlock the rear door, then lift it off of the cabinet and set it aside. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any dirt or debris inside the cabinet.
10. Locate the control panel latches or fasteners and free the control panel from its normal position. If there is no wiring harness connector, label each of the wires before disconnecting them from the Player Controls. Once the wires are disconnected, remove the control panel from the game cabinet. Save the mounting brackets and hardware for reinstallation after the control panel has been modified.
11. Some cabinets have speakers located on the control panel or other removable pieces of the cabinet. If speaker harnesses must be disconnected, be certain to mark the polarity of the wires as well as the function.Incorrectly phased speakers can cause weak low frequencies or a thin, hollow sound quality.
12. Optional. Standard 8-way joysticks may be used with this kit if desired (49-way joysticks and cables are provided in the kit). These joysticks will use the standard JAMMA connections. The CPU Board has an adjustment to accept 8-way joystick control signals. However, the game will not have the same fine control of character motion and speed when using the standard joysticks. We recommend that the 49-way joysticks be installed for maximum player enjoyment,
