Arcade Buttons 2.1 - Which wires?
i just opened my vci 100-se and i cant see any brown ground cable? do any of you guys know which cable to use then? …on the “normal” vci the ground one was farest to the left, my guess could be that it still is?
soz, shouldnt have been posted in general…
the 1st cable to on the left when you have the board facing up is the ground cable.
the 2nd cable goes to button 1
the 3rd cable to button 2
the 4th cable to button 3
the 5th cable to button 4
once again, thank you, bento my man! ;] cant wait to get going, life is simply too busy at the time…
I got sick of having my VCI-100 in peices so i am wiring up my arcade buttons at the moment, the wiring i just said was just from looking at the circuit board but i am pretty confident that is correct.
right wires
Connect wires number 1 red x 4 to the diode part (-) and wires (+) 1-2-3-4 to the button
Almost forgot !
I can confirm the wiring described in this thread is correct 
Thanks Bento - Almost ready for my Arcade mod. I have already the part number of the buttons, I need to search the threads for the diodes part number so I can order them.
Once Midifidler’s layout is ready.. I am set! 
You don’t really need anything special with the diodes, just got your local electronics shop and get some standard low voltage ones.
Don`t want to open new topic, just to ask EXACTLY which pushbuttons to buy (I think from reading posts that this site is best http://www.lizardlickamusements.com/pages/pushbuttons.shtml)?
And can someone send me “blueprints” for cutting in dxf or whatever format.
What do you think of ordering 16 buttons just in case or less? I am now able to order them and who knows when will be another chance!
Thanks

You need to get the “Sanwa OBSN-24 Pushbutton with Vertical Microswitch”
Thanks BentoSan. Unfortunately there aren`t red ones to match to vestax logo. 
We want plates

Try here instead - Pushbuttons & Push Buttons - SuzoHapp
BentoSan you have just saved me 5 bucks. Thanks
No problem
They also stock the red ones you are after.
Is it possible to fit Sanwa OBSF-30 Pushbutton with Vertical Microswitch on the vci100 buttons panel?, cause im looking for white ones.
the 30’s are too big - the 24 is pushing it as it is.
