Williams Jungle Lord pinball machine part 7 – Finished

Finished. 🙂

A broken diode on a roll over switch made it not responsive.
Replaced that with a 1N4004 and it is back in business.
(The remains of the old one seems to have been a 1N4148.)

Funny thing when i troubleshooted the right magnet that did not work, i discovered that it did not seem to ever have been working from factory.
The playfield had absolutely no wear over the magnet compared to the left one that had wear over it.
And one end of one wire from the magnet looked brand new, and could not ever have been soldered in, it just hung there. 🙂
Soldered it in, and now it works as it should.

All that remains now is a final wipe of the playfield and putting the glass back in, and polish it, then it is ready to be picked up.

Now the sound board is finally working including speech.

Replaced the capacitors and also had to socket and replace both the CPU and the PIA for it to work.
(And also IC5 4050 buffer were socketed and replaced.)

All the boards now seem to work.

It is now time for the playfield, drop targets, switches, lamps, rubbers.

The Power Supply Board is now ready to be reinstalled in the game and be tested.
All capacitors are changed and all connectors are resoldered.
All fuses are also replaced.
A new connector for the GI were installed because of the previous wires soldered directly to the board.
A new fuse holder were also soldered in on the original spot instead of the external fuse holder that they did previously.

Unfortunately i had to solder in new wires for the incoming power because the previously modder drilled the original holes bigger to fit the larger wire they soldered in…
(I did not want to solder in a new connector that had no support from the hole itself.)

I got this Williams Jungle Lord pinball machine in for repair.

It has not worked in many years and need a complete overhaul.
The batteries on the MPU had leaked and caused much corrosion on the driver board under it.

I have not tried to boot it up yet due to the leakage, and i also want to repair the rectifier board first to be sure that the voltages are correct.

The rectifier board also has some dubious repairs that i have to fix. 🙂

Rowe AMI Tropicana Jukebox – Part 5

Cleaning of the popularity counter that keeps track of which songs is the most popular are now finished. 🙂
There were pins to be cleaned and reinserted… 🙂

The mechanism for showing which song is playing was disassembled and cleaned.
Unfortunately there should be two small cogs on one of the wheels that were broken..
To make things worse one of the cogs were missing, so it is not possible to just glue them back.
Luckily the Jukebox will work whithout it until a replacement part is found.
