Title: retractable cable?
Post by: tony.silveira on February 22, 2018, 11:35:08 pm

hi guys,

curious if anyone has cons up with a way to retract lightgun cables?  i thought of buying one of those retractable power cords and modding it.  one of this spoils that you pull the power cable to desired length and it locks.  a small tug unlocks the unit and pulls the cable back in.

thanks!

I looked into it a while back but came up empty handed.

Mine are fully hidden as I gave up on them. lol. I went with a PS1 and guncons to get my gun gaming fix. Arcade gun game route still seems appealing to me though.

i have seen power extension cables in those types of retreating coils, wonder if i can crack one open and mod it.

I looked into those to.
Basicly I decided the cable was to thick and there was no where suitable to mount them in my cab.

I just hook the cables around the back of the holsters now lol

I think If I was to do it all again I would panel mount 2 usb ports under the CP and plug the guns in as and when required.
