Repairing Positional Arcade Guns?

Question from Troy: Hey Arcade Repair Tips,
I’ll be picking up a Lucky & Wild arcade game soon. However, I know already that the guns will need to be fixed. I’d love to get the machine up and running as soon as possible, but there just isn’t a whole lot of information out on the net on fixing the potentiometers of these games, which I’ve heard is the likely cause of the problem. Any tips on what I should look for?
Thanks, Troy.

Response from Tim: Check the wiring to the Pots first they often break or come undone. If the wiring is ok then you can use a mulitmeter to check the pots to see if they are good.
Here is a good video on testing one

Hope that helps
Tim
