I picked up a Grappler game and I'm having some issues with it but can't find any info about the game.  Anyone have any info/manual on it?  Thanks

Luckily enough there is a schematic in the head.

In-case anyone has one with problems here's a few issues that I've fixed:
1.  Motor spins but arm doesn't move - low on hydraulic fluid
2.  Doesn't always start when the elbow button is pressed - broken wire on the coin-switch
3.  Arm start position isn't centered - had to adjust arm position center switch, need to modify alignment holes with a drill
4.  Time count-down display doesn't work - cold solder joints on linear regulator on count-down board
5.  Blows bulbs - I had replaced the bulbs with 6.3V bulbs, I'll need to see if it should be 12V arcade style.  I'll check with a meter later.

The elbow pads were missing so I cut some blue anti-static mat in circles.  The last pic shows the hydraulics for the arm just inside the coin door.

That's one of my buddy's favorite movies, right up there with Commando & Road House.  And it was a huge hit at my Superbowl party.
