Title: Anyone know how to connect this or where to get the parts??
Post by: kjoel0123 on May 27, 2006, 12:41:35 pm

I have an outrun cabaret cab that I am restoring or at least getting to work for now.. The 2 pics are enclosed. One is the end of the steering assembly connecting to the shaker motor, but I am missing the parts to connect the shaker motor to the control panel or steering assembly, the shaker motor is at the bottom of each pic, the steering assembly is at the top.

Anyone know what parts are needed?
Know where to get the parts from?

I can pay you for this or give you free arcade parts. Just search for arcade parts for sale / trade to see what I have left.

so the shaker motor works,its just a case of connecting the solenoid to to steering assem?can't you just make a bracket and cam to fit-surely all you need is a metal cam for the solenoid connected to a high powered spring which then should bolt to the steering assem case

Thanks for the info but I have no idea what a metal cam is? Can you please elaborate

I just found a metal part which screws onto the end of the steering assembly , Its about 1" long and is flat on the bottom.

  I also noticed that there are 2 small springs on the bottom of the motor , I connected them to the metal solenoid case and now the motor does not bang around anymore, that issue is now fixed, Still not sure if I an missing a part on the end of the steering assembly to connect to the shaker unit. If I can only get a cabaret manual or a picture of the assembly then my problem would be resolved, thank you

I have enclosed a new picture of what I installed and what the curent setup looks like
Thanks

picture is too blurry too see,but the cam i refer to is more likely to be described as a plunger in the U.S like one on a pinball solenoid-the theory is that your solenoid will create a magnetic field therefore pulling the metal plunger into the solenoid when activated thus creating a push/pull action incorpating the springs as a push action-i know its sounds pervy but think of it as sex(sorry but its the most simple way to describe it)
