Was doing a search for other info and found this info in the web archive about converting a sega saturn lightgun for use on a Lethal Enforcers arcade machine. Just adding this for info only.
Wayback Link (http://web.archive.org/web/20030205224239/www.chads.arcade.btinternet.co.uk/gunmod.htm)
Found an online archive of the old site

Since the original is dead, would it be wise to bundle it up and replicate it elsewhere? I know Wayback is pretty dependable, but you never know. :dunno

I personally do not like to replicate info without permission and with a dead link that is pretty hard to get. I am not sure how valuable the info is so I thought I would just post the wayback link and let anyone who might find it useful archive it for themselves.

I believe Wayback's policy is to duplicate unless explicitly denied (via robots.txt) or through request.
I think it's safe to say that since the original site owner let the original site disappear, that the owner has lost interest. As long as the presented information is credited properly and the source is correctly noted I think it should be replicated elsewhere. If the site owner comes forward and objects to his information being up, then it's a simple matter of taking it down. The same thing the Wayback people would do.
Normally, I would abide by the same policy as you. However, I recognize that sometimes, it's better for the whole to simply break the rules now and ask for forgiveness later. As long as no money is profited from his/her hard work.... :angel:

I wouldn't see any problem with putting that into the Wiki with proper credit. This is definitely very useful info.
