Restoring a Nichibutsu Moon Alien Part II Cocktail Table

[paulied66]

Hello all,

I am the proud owner of a dedicated Nichibutsu Moon Alien Part II Cocktail Table. The game turns on in attract mode and runs almost entirely but will shut off shortly after. I have done my research and understand this game is extremely rare in the USA so I want to restore this classic to its original glory..I have noticed that the 2-way joystick is not performing well so can anyone recommend a suitable replacement?? Also the stars that should be present during the game sequence are not appearing, any suggestions of how to fix this?? Lastly i made the mistake of removing the (1) player button to try to replace the bulb inside and I can not get it back together, please help?? Does anyone out there have any spare parts for this type of Arcade Game, i troll eBay everyday and find almost none! thanks everybody for reading this
