Holster and wire management suggestions?
« on: December 03, 2025, 04:31:53 pm »
Got my Sinden lightguns hooked up (super fun) to my still-wip 2 player cabinet and wondering if there are any clever solutions out there for wire management. Maybe some sort of internal spring-loaded and locking spool? Just starting to research this and also interested in holster suggestions (or a holster integrated with the wire management solution).

A spring-loaded and locking spool may be difficult to find and keep working.

You might want to consider something like this suggestion from 9 years ago.

Hey Space Paranoid! I just set mine up. The wire can get a little unwieldy. Be sure to post if you make any progress.

What's your light gun game list? I'm on a PC using Mame:

Area 51
Operation Wolf
Buck Hunter
Police Trainer
Point Blank 1, 2
Duck Hunt
Time Crisis
Egg Venture

I put some time into House of the Dead, but I haven't got it setup yet (there was more to it than I thought).
