Title: Mechanized Attack Optics
Post by: MasTequila on July 27, 2004, 05:43:17 pm

I picked up a Mechanized Attack game and I was wondering if there is any place I could get a replacement board because one of the guns is bad.  I did a search of the forum and got nothin.  Thanks in advance.

Hm... You might be able to repair the board yourself. A common problem with light guns is that the diode's legs can break off from the opto PCB. Check that before you drop what could be a wad of cash in a new opto board... Check for broken wires, too. If I remember correctly, the mechanized attack game has the guns mounted to the panel... Violent movements could have broken a wire.

Good luck!

Ok thanks.  If I was to get a new one where would I get it from?  Are they all just standard or do different optical guns have different boards? Thanks in advance.

I'd check HAPPS. I don't think I have ever been in a mech attack, but we had one on location. I'm not sure if it uses a HAPPS style opto board or not... Sorry.
