SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 
The following instructions apply to operators and service personnel. Read these instructions before 
preparing your Video Game Machine for play. Other safety instructions appear throughout this manual. 
DEFINITIONS OF SAFETY TERMS 
DANGER
 indicates an imminent hazard. Failing to avoid this hazard W ILL cause death or serious injury. 
WARNING
 indicates a potential hazard. Failing to avoid this hazard COULD cause death or serious injury. 
CAUTION
 indicates a potential hazard. Failing to avoid this hazard MAY cause minor or moderate injury. 
CAUTION also alerts you about unsafe practices. 
NOTICE
 indicates information of special importance. Observing notices may prevent you from damaging 
equipment. 
 
WARNING: DO NOT SUBSTITUTE PARTS. 
Use of inferior parts or modifications could 
cause serious injury or equipment damage! Use only Midway authorized parts. 
For safety and reliability, do not substitute parts or modify Midway products. Substitute 
parts or modifications may void EMC directive or FCC type acceptance.
 
 
WARNING: DISCONNECT POWER. 
Always turn power off and unplug line cord before 
attempting service or adjustments. Installing or repairing board assemblies while the 
power is on can cause injury, damage components, and void the warranty. Be sure that 
you securely install ground wires. 
 
WARNING: GROUND MACHINE.
 Avoid electrical shock! Do not plug in the line cord 
until you have inspected and properly grounded the Video Game Machine. Only use a 
grounded, three-wire outlet. Do not use a “cheater” plug, or cut off the ground pin on the 
line cord.  
 
WARNING: GROUND SELF.
 W ear a grounding strap during installation. Ground 
yourself frequently by touching the metal chain lug on the rear of the cabinet to discharge 
static electricity from your body. 
 
CAUTION: INSPECT SALVAGED PARTS. 
Kit completion requires salvaging parts from 
an existing Video Game Machine. Salvaged parts must operate perfectly for the 
converted Machine to perform properly and safely. Before attempting conversion, repair 
circuit board malfunctions and cabinet damage. 
 
CAUTION: PROPERLY ATTACH ALL CONNECTORS.
 Make sure connectors on CPU 
Board Assembly are properly connected. If the connectors do not slip on easily, do not 
force them. A reversed connector may damage your Machine and void warranty. All 
wiring harness connectors are keyed to fit specific header pins on the Board Assembly. 
EPILEPSY WARNING 
A very small portion of the population has a condition which may cause them to experience epileptic 
seizures or have momentary loss of consciousness when viewing certain kinds of flashing lights or 
patterns that are commonly present in our daily environment. These persons may experience seizures 
while watching some kinds of television pictures or playing certain video games. People who have not had 
any previous seizures may nonetheless have an undetected epileptic condition. 
If you or anyone in your family has experienced symptoms linked to an epileptic condition (e.g. seizure or 
loss of awareness), immediately consult your physician before using any video games. 
W e recommend that parents observe their children while they play video games. If you or your child 
experience any of the following symptoms:  dizziness, altered vision, eye or muscle twitching, involuntary 
movements, loss of awareness, disorientation, or convolutions, discontinue use immediately
 
and consult 
your physician.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE 
VERIFY ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT OPERATION 
1. INSPECT PARTS:  
Unpack the conversion kit and verify that nothing was damaged in shipping. 
2. CHECK CABINET:  
Inspect cabinet for damage. Repair before proceeding. 
3. VERIFY OPERATION:  
Plug line cord into grounded outlet and switch on AC power. You should hear 
a single beep during startup. A working machine starts without system errors and enter Attract Mode. 
4.  Turn AC power off and unplug line cord from outlet. 
5. CLEAN:  
Vacuum vent opening at bottom rear of machine to remove loose dust. 
6.  Insert key into coin lock and turn clockwise to unlock. 
7.  Locate the coin meter, CALIBRATE button, and SETUP button inside the coin door on the left.

CONTROL BUTTON LOCATION 
8. METER:  
Record the coin meter count. 
9.  Plug in line cord and turn AC power on. Leave it on for an hour (to detect problems related to heat). 
10. CURRENCY:  
Insert coins and play games to verify operation. Record number of coins used. 
11.  Confirm that coin meter has advanced for each coin inserted. 
12. ORIGINAL MANUFACTURER’S CALIBRATION:  
Press CALIBRATE button to perform original 
manufacturer’s adjustment. If Touchscreen does not calibrate correctly, repair or replace it. 
 
FIRST CALIBRATION SCREEN  SECOND CALIBRATION SCREEN
 
13.  The first calibration dot appears in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. Touch center of circle 
with one finger. An audible tone verifies finger position. 
14.  The second calibration dot appears in lower left-hand corner of the screen. Touch its center with one 
finger. The software enters Test Screen mode accompanied by an audible tone. 
15.  Touchscreen and note that crosshair centers beneath your fingertip. Touch all four corners and entire 
bottom edge of Touchscreen. Touch EXIT  on screen when done.

16. TRACKING TEST:  
Press SETUP button. Touch TEST SCREEN . 
TRACKING TEST SCREEN 
17.  A cross appears in test screen center. Touch center of the cross and observe that crosshair centers 
on cross. The crosshair follows your finger as you move it across the screen. 
18.  Touch EXIT  on the screen. 
 
If crosshair fails to center on your finger, note distance and direction of discrepancy. Return to 
calibration screen and place your finger on screen slightly away from, but in same general direction 
and distance, from dot to where the crosshair was off center. 
 
Example: If crosshair appears slightly below where you touched the screen, place your finger just 
below calibration dot. If crosshair appears slightly above and to the right of where you touched the 
screen, place your finger just above and to right of calibration dot. 
 
Repeat previous step for second calibration dot. W hen crosshair centers on your finger, calibration is 
successful. You may need several attempts to accurately calibrate the screen to compensate for your 
Touchscreen’s individuality and its mounting on CRT. Use CALIBRATE mode as needed to calibrate 
Touchscreen as accurately as possible. 
 
NOTICE: 
If the existing Touchscreen cannot be calibrated correctly, troubleshoot and 
repair or replace any defective components before proceeding. The kit electronics will 
not fix these symptoms.
