Hey all!

I'm restoring a Gottlieb Jungle Queen(1977) and on the coin unit there's a lose wire.
It's black with dotted yellow, maybe it's ground?

If someone could check a similar machine I would be very happy ;D



Thanks!!

Nicholas

From the pic it looks like the whole lug broke off of the disc somewhere.

Just use the best tool in your tollbox--YOUR EYES-- and you should likely find it.  It is only a wire 3 inches long so it couldn't have come from very far away.

If it is on the coin door could it be the antenna line?

See here for an example.

Hey!

It's on the bottom on the cabinet, not the coin door:)

However, it doesn't seem to go to the disc.  :P

Well, the 'thing' on the end of the wire seem to have a tooth, like those for grounding
you fasten with a screw:

That looks like it could be most of the end of a trace as shown in your pic above.
