i see what you mean,but on my cab(sammy usa sport shooting in naomi uni)the cord behind this board appears to have been removed.the volume is controlled by at the atomiswave mobo and the test and service buttons are wired to buttons in the coin door. Is there a way to manually do this with a wand or something?or can i replace the missing cable? I can post pictures if needed. I got this cab for 500$ and am looking to turn it to a cvs2 cab but it appears to have been basically gutted for the atomiswave.

What type of monitor does it have?

If its a Sanwa 29E31S you can hook up a degauss button to it. Have a look at the 15 pin AMP connector that plug into the monitor chassis.

This connector normally has four pins populated. AC power goes in through pins 6 and 7. Pins 9 and 10 are the ones for the degauss switch, you may or may not see some red and black striped wires coming from these pin locations.

If you have those wires you can just add a momentary SPNO (single pole normally open) switch to them. An arcade button is a example of a momentary SPNO switch.

If there are no wires there you may have to add some.

You don't even have to use a button if you really don't want to. You can just strip the ends of the wires and touch them together briefly. If you do this make sure you insulate them separately afterwards so that they don't keep touching and degaussing your monitor. A button is recommended though.
