bought this skill crane today not knowing what was wrong with it. I get it home and crack it open to take a look at the internals to see what needs to be repaired. When I open it up I noticed there aren't any circuit boards inside. I am new this so I have been researching them to find out information so I can get it going again. My question is which boards am I missing? It has 5 connections that are inside that need to be plugged up.(http://imgur.com/OsJPGAo)(http://imgur.com/Kk0GJug)(http://imgur.com/aL2Dmj6)

you are going to need a board for sure. best to find the model and post it here.
you will need something similar to this:

I'm not sure what the ribbon cable goes to. but the board you are looking for would just have all the sockets for all those plugs to work. (just a single board solution)

Ok, heres an update I got all 3 boards hooked up but i'm still having problems. When I turn the crane on the claw will move to the home position and the counter and seconds will both be on zero but it will not reconize anyone coins or bills that I put into it. So after that I tried to do a self test by turning dip switch 8 on and all the others off then 1-4 on but nothing happened. After that I pulled the wiring harness that goes to the buttons and coin mech from the relay board and it starting cycling the self tests so then I turned dip switch 8 off and tried it pulling off the wiring harness again and it started adding plays to the play counter but I still could not play the game. Also there is a small green wire coming off of the claw wiring harness that im not sure where it goes.
