hi I'm completely new here just looking for some general advice i have picked up a super space invaders cocktail table the glass is cracked so i have removed it and rubbed down the top ready for a respray the main board inside is loose also i can only here a few sounds from the speaker if you turn it up all the way you can here the space invaders moving but only a whisper i have tried another speaker but that was the same any help would be great as this is the first time i have ever attempted anything like this

thanks in advance

Regarding sound, look on your board in the upper right you see that white plastic thing with a + in it? (like a screw). You can turn that for volume. Use a plastic tool if you are worried about slipping and touching something, since its easier to adjust with the game on. Also be very careful not to touch anything related to the monitor, there's lots of high voltage in there.

To secure the board, you can use screws and blocks of wood, and / or "pcb feet".

What other advice did you want?

PS: Use periods so we can see where sentences start and stop. Makes it easier to refer back to questions you asked. They don't teach this stuff in school just to be annoying. It makes people better communicators.

Hi there
Sorry for the bad punctuation. I have turned the volume up all the way and it's still very quiet yet the blast sound effects are really loud. Was also wondering how the coin slot mechanism works as mine does not register coins being put in. Also is the screen supposed 2 flip for second player as mine does not. 

Thanks

RayB:
Coin issue: Is the game in free play mode? It wont register coins if it is. If it's not, there's a switch with a little metal wire that activates when a coin hits it. Check that. Flick it down with your finger til it clicks. Does that register a credit?

Sound: I have no idea what's going on here, but its obviously not the speaker or the wiring...

Screen flip: You need to find the manual and look up what the dipswitch settings are and then you set the board to cocktail mode. This will be either through a box of tiny switches on the board itself, OR through "service mode" menu in the game itself. (Again, the manual will tell you how to access this menu)
