Tabletop Arcade
Question from Dan: Hi Guys,
I have a 39-1 table top arcade game machine – I’ve had it for about 5 years with no problems. Anyway, I turned it on last night, after about two months since I last played, and the two buttons on player one don’t work. The ones on player two work fine. Any suggestions on what might be wrong or how to trouble shoot it?
Thanks for your time.
Dan

Response from Jonathan: Dan,
Typically when more than one button goes out it’s due to an issue with the grounding wires. Ground wires are usually daisy chained together. If there is a break in the chain it can cause all of the button that are connected after that break to stop working. Check out our post on Connecting Ground Wires On A Control Panel for more information. We also have a video on Opening A Cocktail Cabinet if you need help accessing the control panel.
Hope that helps. Thank you for your question and good luck with your repair.
