Touchscreen Removal
1. Turn off and unplug the game.
2. Unlock and remove the coin mech from the game.
3. Unlock and open the rear door.
4. Remove the 2 thumbnuts securing the hood, slide the hood back, and remove it.
5. Remove the two screws fastening the touchscreen controller (see Figure 1) to the game and
remove the controller. Then disconnect the touchscreen controller cable from the back of the
controller and disconnect the Molex connector (orange and gray wires) running from the
touchscreen controller cable to the main power harness.
6. Remove the 4 screws on top of the front bezel and the 2 screws (one on each side) fastening
the bezel to the game, then separate the bezel from the monitor.
7. Remove the black poly tape from around the edges of the old touchscreen. Remember how
the tape was placed in order to tape the new touchscreen.
8. Use dental floss to carefully cut the foam tape holding the touchscreen to the picture tube until
you are able to completely remove the touchscreen.
9. Remove any remaining adhesive residue with denatured alcohol, then wipe the surface of the
picture tube with the supplied alcohol wipe.
Touchscreen Installation
1. Clean the reverse side of the replacement touchscreen with the supplied alcohol wipe.
2. If there is no tape already on the touchscreen, cut pieces of supplied 1/2” foam tape long
enough to cover each edge of the screen without overlapping. After the tape is in place, peel
off the backing.
3. Replace the new touchscreen over the monitor (with the cable on the left if you are facing the
game), making sure the screen is properly and evenly aligned over the picture tube. Then
clean the front of the screen with the supplied alcohol wipe.
4. Remembering the manner in which the tape was placed around the touchscreen you removed,
place and cut a length of supplied black poly tape evenly over an entire edge of the touch-
screen and repeat until all four edges are covered.
5. Replace the front bezel, then replace the 4 screws on top of the bezel and the 2 screws (one on
each side) fastening the bezel to the game.
6. Connect the touchscreen controller cable in the back of the controller, then fasten the control-
ler to the game with the existing hardware (see Figure 1). Also connect the Molex connector
(orange and gray wires) to the main power harness.
7. Slide the hood back onto the game and secure it with the two thumbnuts.
8. Replace and lock the coin mech.
9. Close and lock the rear door.
10. Plug in and turn on the game.
