#2924 5 years ago

Hey all. Joined the club recently and am currently shopping up the machine. Turns out I am missing the entire Jabba's Bounty assembly but I have the flat plastic that came with the new plastic set so I'd like to fabricate a replica. I didn't see the pics I needed in the 800+ photo gallery for this group.

I was wondering if someone could take pics of the back of Jabba's Bounty so I can see what I need to make one. There is a lamp, likely a flasher and a guess some metal housing?

Any help would be great thanks!

Quoted from vec-tor:

The back of the Jabba's Bounty is a clear lens with a press board block...
A regular #44 bayonet lamp socket. I believe it may be a flat type with wires that go
through the hole and mount to a 2prong connector?
The plastic is mounted to the front with 2 small screws and the top of the plastic is bent
at an angle...
The very back of the assembly is made with a thin black plastic that is bent to cover the lamp
assembly.
The hole assembly is mounted with an "L" bracket to the main plastic.

Awesome thanks so much for taking the time to give me that description. That helps. What exactly is a press board block?

If anyone is able to post a couple photos that would be greatly appreciated.

Dude!!!!!!!!!! You rock!!!!!!!!!!

What an elaborate little assembly. Quite overboard for a lamp.

This is super helpful. Thanks so much. I think I should be good to fabricate something!

From one Mike to another Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#2929 5 years ago

I am guessing that the lamp socket is screwed to the wood as shown in my horrible photo?

Quoted from vec-tor:

It is offset to one side.

Ok sweet thanks!

I'm wondering the proper location for this clear plastic. The photo shows where it was located on mine originally but I don't feel that that is correct but I could be wrong.

Quoted from drummermike:

I think that is correct but it should be turned on an angle to go under the wire form. It is to prevent a ball trap. Mine is missing. I remember I did have a ball stuck there behind Jabba. Never knew about this plastic! There are 2 others on the other side of the playfield.

Quoted from drummermike:

I am going to get out my plastic and make one using your picture for reference.

Thanks Mike. Once I installed the wireform I had to turn the plastic and then it all made sense I will have to remember to post pics of my custom Jabba's Bounty once i finish making it.

Thanks guys. With your help I was able to fabricate a Jabba's Bounty assembly.

Start with the CPR plastic, cut wood and drill, add insert and glue, make L bracket and drill, add socket,diode and wiring, smooth edges and paint black and add a green LED for Jabba. Worked out great. Only thing I would do differently is to use thicker wood so that the screws have more to bite into. (still need to rivet Jabba to the lower plastic).

Quoted from drummermike:

I think the back piece you are missing is to stop the light from reflecting backwards. A flex bulb will probably stop that though.

Good call. I will try a flex! Thanks.

Quoted from Pahuffman:

Looks great! Can confirm a flex bulb will work well.

Thanks. Got a flex in there now and looks good!
