My A button on player 1 side doesnt work everytime. How do I replace or repair. Works some of the time, very fustrating playing metal slug and it shots every other time. Joe

I have never opened a control panel on a cab, I have built my own I would have to say that replacing a button has to be the cheapest replacement part on a cab.

rather easy too, once you get at it.

Ok, easy and cheap. My favorite in most things ;) But how do you do it. Just got my cab 2 weeks ago. Joe

The button looks like this, as you can see (hopefully) the they are not complicated, the button gets installed from the top of the control panel, a large plastic nut holds it all in place, and you have 2 wires to connect.

just pay attention to how they hook up, there are 3 connectors on the microswitch: ground, NO <- Normally Open, and NC <- Normally Closed.

You want it hooked up to GND and NO.




Again, very easy, but, I don't know how to tell you to get the control panel off.

For the time I wait for the red button I switch the white game select button with the red A botton. Works like a champ. I just might get a entire new set of buttons for this bad boy. THanks for all the help and links to sites! Joe

Sometimes you can get whole set-ups on Ebay..

It's probably just the switch..

I'll vouch for tornadoterrysdot, i won one of those auctions for a complete set. I would like to note though that the ULTIMATE joysticks are shorter than the original stock joysticks by about a 1/4 of an inch so, so if your like me & have big hands you may want to look around for taller joysticks. That or email tornadoterrysdot and ask if he'd substitute or sell taller joysticks if available. :cool: Other than that you can't beat the package deal for all the parts. There all correctly colored and easy to install.
