Quoted from seshpilot:I think this game deserves a speaker upgrade too! The bass could be killer. Anyone know what speakers would fit and be a good upgrade?
Agreed!! I'd love to do this.....I have a new set of stern speakers but don't think they'd fit properly.
Selling a nice Robowar in the marketplace....has a great PF on it.

PM me with any questions you have.
Yes I'm not sure what the thinking was behind that cab "makeover"....not horrendous but certainly wouldn't fit well in someone's home "show" collection. It's fine in my low lighted basement collection though....most people don't even know what it originally looked like. Good thing the cab is solid otherwise and plays fast, brutal, and fun.
Quoted from Whysnow:oh, that makeover is definately horrendous.
Have you tried removing it? You would need to be very careful since this era of cabs is junk board, but I would think a damp rag could take it off it it is just latex house paint.
I have not. Being as that it doesn't bother me and I'm focused on the way it plays more...not how it looks. I could give it a go but yes I wouldn't want to take off the original paint.
Quoted from Whysnow:based on the asking price, you may want to give it a go.
With an original cab in good condition you may be in the range. With the current cab, I personally would expect atleast a 1k reduction over the same game with original cab.
Advice noted and taken. Thanks mon.
Does anyone have the ANYpin NVRAM battery eliminator installed on there game?? I snagged one and don't know where it goes. Also is it configuration 5101? I got the version that works with any game.
Quoted from freddy:and the blindfold !
Quoted from Chosen_S:In the automotive world, the pin poking out of the bottom would push up toward the top unmushrooming the bottom.
Hmmm ok I was trying to pull that pin and push that pin inward with plyers...wasn’t having any luck but I’ll focus more pushing that pin back in again. Thanks
No such luck with the flasher dome push pins...the plastic pin within don’t move. I was able to finagle the pins into the new plastic but the the flasher domes have even smaller holes hahahaha. I left plastic has 3 flasher domes on it to boot...gonna be painful!
Anybody actually put on these plastics yet???
Quoted from BentleyBear:Just changed all my plastics yesterday.Went like a charm
Ok sooooo any insight on the pins for the flasher domes?! Am I doing something wrong?
Quoted from BentleyBear:I only pulled the black plastic pin out and removed the black holder for the pin.
Then i placed the dome on the new plastic,inserted the black holder through the plastic and dome (pushed it together with my fingers so it went through both holes) and secured it with the black plastic pin.
Ok so your pin and black holder were able to be pulled apart?? Because I’ve held each end with a pair of plyers and that pin will not move in or out...all I’m doing is stretching the plastic pin out and smushing up the black holder...seems so simple but driving me bonkers 
Quoted from Chosen_S:Maybe find a short stainless screw to take its place ?
No that wouldn’t keep the look it originally has...the plastics are black and so is this pin. It almost hides itself in with the plastics...dunno why it has to be so annoying tho.
Quoted from Chosen_S:I’m only guessing the pin/push tab may be unobtainable, you could still use a screw, just paint the head black, or scour the internet and automotive shops for something similar. Sorry you’re having such a hard time
My robowar is folded up in storage now for a year, I’m about to have my gameroom finished so I can finally slide it in and play it
Thanks for the suggestion. Have fun setting your games back up...I’m sure Robowar has missed you plenty!
Quoted from Vandy89:PB resource does have them. Item GTB-MP 10, plastic rivet.
Just email them.
I will do that TYVM.
