Okay, i'm at my brother atm and it turns out you're right, the problem is still there.
I checked the credit switch and that seems to be hooked up the right way, also when i disconnect the wires the sound is still there!

I made a little sound clip with my telephone: mario_bros.mp3 - 0.24MB

We also switched the faulty orange button with one my spare blue one, looks a bit better.

some guy on KLOV is about to reproduce both the MB WB marquees and the bezels. he's even thinking about doing the "bubble marquee version" which i really really like a lot!



i'll have to check the art on my machine to see if i have to get replacements!
all i need is ... PONG - and a select few others: TOUCH ME, DRAGON'S LAIR, JOUST, ROBOTRON, MR DO, SAN FRANCISCO RUSH THE ROCK!!!

I like the bubble marque too, fits the cartoon theme very well.

Wasnt THE bubbel version only for upgrade kit for the "narrow" bodies?

I think Nintendo wanted to emphasize that the converted cabs were 2 player. The wide body more or less already suggests so...

nope, both versions existed for the widebody cabs, most of the "bubble marquees" were simply cut down version of the widebody marquee. have a look at the following picture: here's a full-size bubble marquee in a widebody cabinet!



if he decides to do the bubble marquees, i'm most likely going to get one!
