Operation Wolf Sensor Board

I'm looking for a replacement Operation Wolf gun sensor board if anyone has one for sale or knows if there is a replacement available anywhere.

Cheers

Whats wrong with yours?

I had issue with mine when I bought it, I fixed it but forget what caused the issue, unless I have some pics or it's in my Op Wolf resto thread

The gun no longer is registering on the screen. The recoil works, screen flashes white when the trigger is pulled. If you fire a bomb it blows up right in the bottom right hand corner of the screen.

Before thinking towards costly parts ….
Is the monitor glass and the mirror both clean (wipe them over with a soft cloth dampened with glass cleaner spray) the lens may not be seeing the screen raster?

On one occasion a ‘mechanised attack’ gun I had there was a small spider in the front barrel of the gun ( also make sure front of gun lens is clean ) then you could try slight increase of screen brightness but you still need black background not high enough to turn grey or show flyback lines. Turn back slowly till that just disappears.

Mine old one used to do the same. It might not be faulty, Have you tried removing the sensor pcb and reseating it a few times to see if it changes ? That used to work for me for a while before the issue cropped up again. Used to be able to get a repro sensor pcb from the states (twisty wrist arcade think shop was called ?) but that made things worse for me, It was a thinner pcb and never seemed to sit right. Another thing to check is the Aux psu in the bottom of the cab, Caps, Cracked solder etc. Think that feeds the gun and can cause issues. Also as 69er above mentioned, The glass and mirror are worth cleaning just in case.

Bit of a pain in the ass those guns. Could get mine working well but never for long periods of time without needing some tlc. Suspected wiring needed re doing but never got round to that in the end.

Awesome game though so worth a bit of hassle.

my first cab I never had any issues with the gun, the 2nd cab the gun did work but then stopped, pretty sure it was just case of resoldering the gun sensor pcb, be fine since, always very reliable for me along with the recoil motor. I haven't any reference in photo's or thread i did to the exact fault

Everything is sparkling but no joy.
