Can I repair my Actlabs Light Gun?
« on: August 03, 2004, 08:01:11 pm »
Guys today I put on my vinyl and when cutting the coin door I cut one of my Actlab wires!! it is the wire that goes from the black box to the gun. Think I can re attach the wires? looks like they are all color coated inside

It's tubing that shrinks when you apply heat.
It comes in different sizes, so you can put small pieces over the individual wires, and a larger piece over the whole wire.

You need to slip it onto the wires, then solder them, then heat up the shrink tubing, and it will form to the wire.
