  1. one issue I had was after completing the work there was tracking issues trying to get the light gun calibrated it would skip all over the screen. Of course i blamed my workmanship and re-did the Molex connectors at the light pen to cord. issue still existed so i soldered the cables together without molex connection. tracking still existed and found instruction for adjusting the potentiometer. After messing with the set screw I got the skipping resolved. it made mention of using an oscilloscope to specific settings and then dial to between 20-24 pulses but that is beyond my skillset and not sure who would have that equipment and know how locally. at the end of the day the Macs is restored and working!
  2. new cord installed. will include photos of some of the repair. although i doubt this thread will ever help anyone else I like to think it will
  3. Im going to roll the dice on some Molex Female .062 Pin connectors. I don't think it will be as easy to remove the pins as I hoped and I want to avoid solder/shrink tube. EDIT: the .062" are too big, it looks like I need a .0475" (1.2mm). Approx from digital caliper. I can not find the smaller pins, also it looks too difficult to remove the pins off the wire after crimped. So I think my best bet may be mentioned above by stripped 1/2" of wire past the pin and solder onto the new cord.
  4. Thanks for all the help guys, i guess they are custom only way would be from someone who makes knockoff controllers or to steal from an authentic controller. I am going to try to remove and reuse from an existing controller. I appreciate all the different input. I am trying to make this repair as authentic as possible so re-using all first party components should be the best.
  5. Thanks! It helped to talk through it. This is the plan. I will remove the housing and pins from a sacrificial controller. Makes more sense then trying to source the pins and ill be taking apart the controller plug anyways.
  6. I might have to remove and swap over.
  7. Gikfun Female and Male Pin Connector Terminal for Dupont Jumper Wire Each 100pcs EK8284 https://a.co/d/bShhfQj perhaps a kit like this exists with the correct part
  8. Well i have another macs so i can open it to get the pin out since its different than other light guns (macs rifles wont work with other lightgun games) so where green goes etc I can just use my existing as a wiring diagram. maybe I will have to try to uncrimp and recrimp the pins off the snes controller I will sacrifice. Was hoping to just buy new pins
  9. Basically where to get pins to be able to make this connection from a cord.
  10. I have all the connections inside the rifle figured out. What im asking for is the pins that get crimped onto the wire so i can make the cord end connection pictures for clarification
  11. Its an option, but id rather have this restored closer to oem. The macs cord is grey vs snes black and having the two fuse together just seems like a hack job and will be visually obvious. I can’t use a snes cable because the longer length required for the macs rifle. a final option may be to buy a long third party one but it needs to be a 4 conductor and I am not sure what they are. I have already bought the cabling so the appropriate pins to be crimped would be my ideal solution to make it close to original.
  12. I have a macs rifle and the military base cut the snes controller cable and the trigger switch cord out. I have bought the proper cable for the snes cord and to wire to the trigger switch the issue I am running into is finding the appropriate pins (assuming crimp style pin) to be able to affix the replacement cable to the snes controller plug. My plan is to remove the male plug off a snes controller and affix to the newly wired cabling. the new wire is 22awg not sure if that matches normal snes controllers but that is what the macs uses. So what I am asking for is if anyone can point me in the direction of the pins that need to get crimped onto the cabling so I can install the plug to the end of the cable. I have another macs rifle so I will be able to match wiring and pinout that way. It is more just knowing what to buy.
  13. weird, most people just want to build a portfolio
  14. damn, must be a-lot of cornball cocksuckers out there. Probably this whole forum
  15. I think this comes down to multiple factors. What is your goal in grading? It is worth grading a childhood favourite for personak collection. If “worth” means when do we profit then the answer is it depends on market conditions. Some games even low grade will benefit from being graded, others actually sell for more raw/ungraded state.
  16. no idea, I still have mine with a replacement label
  17. first print needs to be easily identifiable. Some people say first print when there was no difference identifiers over many print runs. You must go title by title and more often than not agree with the majority
  18. whatever works. Maybe a combination of dremmel and chisel/hammer. Play safe. Wear safety glasses and cut resistant gloves
