    Is this possible.
    I have a sn5 rig for good few years now - and why I am member.

    But this question relates to the ..
    SEGA RALLY 3 Super Deluxe Arcade machine

    It is windows XP based.
    I can't find info on what the actuators are.

    The motion doesn't initialise,
    There is a feedback control with a display per actuator.
    In the game bios settings (test menu) it errors, but if you manually move there is a max min limit switch, which engage fine.

    Due to my knowledge building my own, I thought asking here maybe something - as limited resources if any available for the specific machine.

    Is there a generic way to test actuators, without using a pc, just power? and perhaps a pot to turn to increase decrease them?

    any help appreciated

    With such old limited hardware, plus so little information about it, it may be easier and more cost effective to just replace the actuators.

    But for now post pictures of the hardware, and any serial numbers you can find, to see if anyone here can identify it, so you at least know what you have.
