  • I want to build my own arcade controls!
Anyone have any info on it? Got it for free, doesn't work, haven't tried to power it on yet, I'd like to get it open but don't have a key...



Here's some more photos

Can I just put a new plug on this and plug it in? The 100v is confusing me. As for the the key, I'd rather not drill it out. Is this a common type of lock? Are there master keys? Thanks in advance.

You should be able to get into it from the back.

Just put a new plug on it, 110V is close enough.

Hi, thanks for the reply. The cabinet is covered with these one way rivet type fasteners which I believe is because it's a slot machine type game (maybe I'm wrong). The only way I could see getting in through the back is by cutting it open although there is a small hole where I can see inside and even see the lock up front but I can't really reach it.

I doesnt do you any good if you can't get into it, mice may have been in there and at best would only be a fire hazzard...Original, is a fun thought but not really practical sometimes if it could potentially burn your house down...I would personally drill the lock and not lose a minutes sleep.

That's a "pachislo" Japanese slot machine.
