Hello everyone, my name is Yungle, live in Amersfoort, the Netherlands and just started this great hobby. Recently came across an Operation Thunderbolt machine which is in fairly good condition except for the guns. Googled this common problem it seems, but not much real sollutions are handed hence this toppic here.

Many wrong? info or at least contradictory info about the guns. It suposed to have lenses or a small pcb inside the guns which I did't have in mine. It's a position gun and not a light/lens gun which is used in Operation Wolf cabs(?) although some on ebay say the guns are the same

One of the guns was working and the other was dead. Being a real noob with electronic I still got it to work because there were only 3 broken cables. Solder them and viola it workt again. Now I just have to calibrate them.

The real problem is the recoil function of the guns. One was working but it falters, so in my stupidity I siliconspray'd the iron shaft wich goes in/out the seranoid when the game was on. Worked great for 1 minute or so then it died. So now both guns don't 'vibrate' no more.

Does someone knows where you can buy this part, preferably in Holland? It's a seranoid C1101225A. Is it a special part only for this game or a common part wich can be bought in every electronic shop? Googled it but found nothing.

Ps. does someone live nearby and can show me howto savely discharge a monitor,seen movies but still have questions, in real with somebody who knows what he's doeing is the best.

Thanks
