This Switch On The Rear Of My Cab ....

Pages: (1/3) > >>

Vicious Burger:

I have a Taito cabinet and it has this switch on the back .....,


which when pressed resets power. I assume therefore it is just a reset switch. Although the way it is installed,the button is held in when the back panel is on the cab. When i got the cab it was positioned slightly differently so the panel would not touch it,but in this pic it i put it in the position that matches the screw holes,so it must have been in this position at some point for the screwholes to be like that. Why would someone have it in this position

Only thing i can think of is that there is meant to be a hole in the rear panel where it can poke through and be pressed without removing the rear panel. There is no hole there now

Thenasty:

That switch (it's called, Interlock Switch) is to shut machine off when the back door comes off. If you need to work on the cab with the door off, you need to PULL that switch to stay on.

RayB:

To elaborate even more, that switch cuts or allows power to the entire machine.
Ops would turn them to face down because after a while, with a loose back door, the switch doesn't always stay pressed in, so the machine would turn off.


TOK:

These are the number 1 cause of getting a perfectly working cab for next to nothing.  ;)

If thats  the case,this one must be the other way round because the power cuts out when the button is pressed and held in. When you take your finger off it,it springs back out and the power comes back on,which I thought was weird because that means power would be cut off when the rear panel is installed holding the button in !!
