I bought three of these from pinball life and they didn't come with instructions. Have not been able to install them. I would appreciate any advice regarding how to install, particularly where the screws go and which direction. Thanks
The red wire is the plus so install with it to the right side pointing up in the old holder. Look on their site to see pictures.
WPC game?
Screw with red wire goes upper right.

I'm going to install in World Cup soccer and Demo man. Thanks for the tips on which wire is positive/negative. Are you saying that the screw clips on the outside of the battery compartment (with the white plastic part on the inside of the battery compartment)?
It is not working because you put them in the wrong slot. Flip flop them and it should work.
You should position red top right... What you have is for system 11.
Quoted from tomh52722:Thanks Spock. Just turned it around and it works
Live Long And Prosper!
Quoted from galaga50:you can make this yourself using small pieces of dowel.
I did and they work great. AA battery length is just on 2"
I am making 26 of these tomorrow, only cost me about $20.
Quoted from Otaku:You had to snap/melt the middle bar off?
I think the part he broke off is what was worth $18. Just a word of advice for new people entering the hobby. This battery holder you can make yourself for about $0.70 each. Pinball Life is just trying to make a crap load of money off people.
What I struggle with is how is it that someone cannot know which way a AA battery is inserted?? I mean, this has to be a wind up right?
Thanks for your comments. This was very low on my priority list and I didn't bother trying for quite a while. I am so lucky to be affiliated with such brilliant people such as yourselves to judge my timing and ability to install parts with no instructions and wiring with no positive or negative labels. Congratulations on your wisdom, it is truly an honor that you took the time to reply.
Sorry for the sarcasm. Vulcans are notorious for struggling with expressing themselves. I am glad you got it to work.
