Jungle Lord - Ball wont pop into plunger area

<< < (3/6) > >>

vertygo:
You guys have been really helpful, I really appreciate it. Definitely going to attempt to fix/break/repair again this pinball machine.

Thanks!

Well, I looked really closely at the coils, etc. and compared them to each other and to pics of new ones online, and they look really used (obviously), but to the point of replacing imho. Springs are completely warped, and almost look droopy.

The original question of getting the ball to pop into the plunger area seems to be the leaf type switch at the drain area. I think the contacts are dirty or something cause if I hold it manually, seems to work, and work more consistently afterwards. Will continue to poke and prod randomly..

vertygo:
I don't agree, there is definitely a power issue between the two flippers. One side can't push the ball to the second level, and the other side can but barely. The reason I mentioned the springs is just to point out the lack of maintenance and general age of the parts in question.

SirPeale:
Have you disassembled the assembly yet to see if it's mushroomed?  If it has then it will have serious drag.

vertygo:
Yay, me again.. replaced the batteries in my jungle lord while the machine was off, now it only boots up with 00 00 in the display, is that Audit Mode ?

Tried the open door, on off a few times quickly trick, didn't work.

Is it time to replace the 5101 CMOS RAM chip ? From what I tried finding out myself (before posting here) that seems the most reasonable fix.

Sheesh, and I thought owning one of these beasts would be FUN..  :banghead:

Thanks
