Jurassic Park
Data East, 1993My game works, but I'm curious as to what is going on with this wire. Both ends are split and stripped, and the end pictured against the red background was stuffed into the hole where the power cord originates. It looks like a ground wire, but where does it go to properly do its job?
That looks like speaker wire that is not original to the machine. Maybe the game was hooked up to an external subwoofer at some point?
Quoted from Agent_Hero:stuffed into the hole where the power cord originates. It looks like a ground wire, but where does it go to properly do its job?
If it went out the power cord hole, it was part of an alarm system at one time.

Never heard of that before.
Can you elaborate?

Quoted from RussMyers:Can you elaborate?
A location with a history of games being broken into, that is large, can be hard to watch everything.
So the op will wire up games so if the door is pried open or anything, an alarm goes off there or at a counter or office in the building.
They usually wire them all together. Game to game to game back to where people might hear the alarm. Then in theory they go running around to find what set it off and catch the criminal.
What usually happens is they find nothing wrong, turn alarm off, and go back to work. Then when they are in another part of the building, the perpetrator returns and cleans out the cash box, or just takes the whole game. ( 2001 pinball machine, Maplewood Bowl 1972 )..

Wow. People are such dicks.
Thanks, Lloyd.
