Arcade trash is amazing. One day driving around my neighborhood in a box truck I spotted a arcade cabinet at the curb. As I'm getting close I see the side and its Terminator 2! I stop the truck, see a guy in the back yard, flag him down and ask "Is this trash and does it work?" he says "Yeah it works but the guns don't vibrate anymore and I need the room in my garage" So into the back of the truck it went. I was lucky to A. find it and B. also happen to be driving a truck.
Guns were easily fixed. The vibrator is a solenoid with a rubber tipped plunger mounted to an L shaped bracket made from stamped sheet metal. The plunger strikes the short length of the L and the bend takes the stress. Over the years the constant slapping broke the plate at the bend. I welded the plates back on adding two gusset strips on each side to brace them and the guns were back to vibrating. Still have it but hasn't been powered on in ages.
