PC-10 problems.

My PC-10 cocktail/countertop model is having some problems:
 
-The "Game Select" button isn't working. The right clip is there, but the left clip is missing. It looks like someone lost the clip, and tried to just bend the wire around the connector. Nothing happens when I press the button.
-The "Reset" button has no clips connected to it. The clips are missing, and 2 loose wires that went to it are hanging free. Also the plastic thing inside the button that makes it go "click" is missing.
-The worst problem of all: The entire PC-10 machine randomly resets over, and over for no reason. Sometimes it'll be on for an hour straight no problem, other times no matter what I do it just keeps skipping over and over to that "wait 10 sec" screen.
 
I would really like to start working on the cab, and getting it 100% working. I just can't seem to find much information on fixing them, or getting parts I may need to fix them. Can anyone help? I know there's PC-10 enthusiats on this board! image

    Well someone told me I need either a new power supply, or to check the 5v output to see if it can be adjusted. Does anybody know how to adjust it if possible. If not does anybody know where to get another power supply?

    The resetting sounds like your machine's timer is set very low, or it has no game timer at all.



    Also here's a sight where you should be able to find the missing pieces you need.

    What do you mean timer? I know the "paid time" works well. You put in a quarter, and you get time. When it runs out, you go back to the main screen. The resetting is taking me suddenly back to the "wait 10 sec" screen, and it resets the "paid time" to 0000.
