kimbleseven Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 The plastic nuts for the buttons are seized. Anyone got any tips for loosening without damaging? Sent from my GT-I9305T using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 I assume you mean on the arcade machine. There is a tool available. It's only plastic and the micro's need to be off but you can certainly borrow it. Otherwise a pair of mutligrips and a cloth to protect the actual button rings.

kimbleseven Posted June 6, 2019 Author Share Posted June 6, 2019 Multigrips are just spinning everything... and there is nothing on the button to grip onto. Its a bugger Sent from my GT-I9305T using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimbleseven Posted June 6, 2019 Author Share Posted June 6, 2019 Thanks crafty. 25 years of crud in there i guess. Do you know if the buttons are still available anywhere? I have replaced the switches but i want the actual button mechanisms. Sent from my GT-I9305T using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crafty Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Multigrips on the ring and pliers on the upright tabs where the micro's sit. Use the same cloth and you should get there without damaging the thread. Otherwise new buttons are easy enough to get. Look at AA sponsors, ebay like Narf said etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autosteve Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 The MCA buttons had a habit of undoing with a little assistance by some little bastard with a hat on backwards. My solution was a dot of PVA wood glue on the thread but some fools used loctite and guess what, it never comes undone even when you want it to. You could try a little kerosene not to melt the loctite but go under the thread and break the lock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
