Big Buck Hunter Pro Arcade game - gun no longer shoots.

One of the guns no longer shoots. Pump action appears to work, but no sound or action when trigger pulled. Is it worth trying to repair or should I replace entire gun assembly? I saw on the internet replacement gun is around $160, pretty steep.

Put the game into switch test mode and press the trigger on the n/w gun. If it doesn't register you need to dissassemble the gun as the trigger microswitch has probably failed. You'll need an adapter to remove several security screws. Separate the two halves of the gun carefully as there are springs and other parts that can become displaced and lost. Remove and renew the microswitch adjacent to the trigger. It is a low rolling resistance switch manufactured by Cherry. If you have trouble sourcing one, the same switch is used as a trough switch in modern Stern Pinball machines. You may have to shorten the contact legs on the switch to get it to fit. With care this job can be undertaken by any competent person with intermediate soldering skills.

How to fix an arcade screen on a big buck hunter safari machine?

If the screen appears discolored in the area where it does not shoot then it is possible that you have a degaussing problem( which should be fixed with turning off the machine for a half hour and then back on) or a loose shadow mask in the monitor( which you can do nothing about). Assuming that is not the case then try turning up the brightness and contrast beyond normal and see if it registers. The easiest way to do that is in the tracking screen. If turning up the controls works then you most likely have a bad capacitor in the monitor or on the circuit board. Another possibility would be background light bouncing off the screen. Turn out the lights in the room and try again. Good luck

I've lost the instruction manual. How do I set the game up?

Press the test switch inside the coin door. This gives access to the operator menus. Use the start buttons, gun triggers and gun pump handles to move through the menus and select options. It's pretty intuitive once you get in there. First thing is to calibrate the guns, which the game leads you through once you access the relevant menu option.

Computer turns on but screen displays "no signal"

I am an amusement arcade game technician. I have found that the Big Buck Hunter Pro arcade games that use DELL pc's are fine, but the ones that use the "generic" pc inside have a tendency to overheat, causing capacitors to fail on the motherboard. You need to replace the caps , or get another motherboard.
