L- Pad or Dual Volume Controls

[LUCKYCHERRY2006]

Hi guys. I bought a Popeye pachislo from Kimura international, and it came with dual volume controls. Here is a link to look at .

I don't know if I should keep them in there or replace them with the L- Pad. I did a little research on them here but I'm not understanding it. The dual controls seem annoying, you can't get the right volume and the speakers crackle when you make a slight adjustment from the knob. Can someone help??

Okay, I'm lost. You bought a machine from Kimura and gave a Stealth link?

[LUCKYCHERRY2006]

Oh yeah I bought it from Kimura but posted the link just to see what they look like . I hope that's ok. I've never really done this, I"m new to this whole new forum thing..

A simple answer to your question. Leave the controls in place. They will aid your eardrums.

The reason the speakers crackle when you try to adjust the controls is because the controls are dirty in side. The best thing I have found to cure this is to spray silicone into the controls, give them a good work out and the problem goes away. It doesn't take much to get them back again. And turn off your game before you do this! Dual pad controls are best, but make sure the two pads are the same or darn close to the same resistance. Or you won't get the same volume on both speakers!

Could you tell me exactly how I could clean the volume controls?? Thanks

get contact cleaner ( nothing else!) from radio shack etc.turn off power, spray it into the switch as your working it back and forth then let it dry for a few before re powering it.
