Are you talking about a game board you just got? If so, then you are looking for "standoffs".

Computer stores (parts dept), electronics wholesalers/jobbers, local amusement game operators/distributors, and some Radio Shaft stores (# 276-1381 and 276-195).

Look in your Yellow Pages (TM) under "Electronic Equipment & Supplies - Whsle & Mfrs" and "Amusement Devices".

well i ran into a problem playing crime fighters..

only one player can play at a time BUT the screen is highleted on player 2 for insert coin??

i put a quarter in on the second coin slot and it registers only on the first player???

regardles of which slot i put the quarter in the credits only show up on player one!!!

how can i fix this nuisance??

BTW is this gonna be like this on ALL multiplayer games?? like teenage mutant ninja turtels or captain america or the simpsons??

i sure hope it aint..

they must have the coin switches wired only to player #1.

try wiring player #2, 3, 4 up to the correct coin switches.

... and no not all multiplayer games are like that ... take Captain America and The Avengers for instance has a dip switch to make it a 2 palyer game if you lack the multiplayer coin door  ;D (I know TMNT doesn't ... not sure about Simpsons yet ... still trying to snag a board for under $150 ... proving difficult ... the last board I on eBay went for $305 + shipping .... talk about getting ripped ... lmao)

There is a 2 player version of tmnt that allows you to choose which character independant of which joystick you use.

in the manual it gives the pinouts ... you wire the coin switches just like you would a normal joystick or push button (read the manual ... its your friend ... lol)

I know TMNT came in a 2 or 4 player version board ... and that the Simpsons is apparently the same way ... would've been nice the just to flick a dip switch instead of buying a new board  :P
