Hi,

I bought a Gottlieb Fun Land at an auction 20 years ago and it has been in storage ever since. I pulled it out a couple of weeks ago and got it pretty much working. As I was going through it, I realized that there is a component missing under the playfield. There is a label where the component is supposed to be that says “spin score control relay”. There is also a Jones plug socket next to it that has nothing plugged into it. The spinners on this game have two functions: they spot a number and they score points, either 5, 50, or 500. The spotting of the number works but the spinners score no points. So this missing component must be what controls the spinner points.

I figured out that the missing component is an AS component and I have purchased one on Ebay. My question is, do any of you guys happen to own this game and could you shoot me a couple of pics of the underside of the play field? The AS unit I have is a double, it has a spinner on both sides but I'm pretty certain I only need one side of this as there is only one jones plug socket. A couple of pics would really grease the rails for me. Thanks for any and all help.

Also, there is another empty jones plug under the play field at the very bottom left of the play field. It has 14 hole socket that nothing is plugged in to. There is another 14 hole jones plug right next to it that is connected and appears to control some of the lights on the play field. Any idea what is supposed to go here? I guess when I bought this thing I should have opened it up to be sure it was complete. Anyway, would appreciate some pics from a working game of both of these areas. Many thanks.

Thanks Howard, I appreciate your response. I’ll see if I can figure it out via the schematic and your clues. Any ideas regarding the second part of my question?

Thanks again.

I did not realize that this was possible. Thanks for the excellent information.

Hey Mark,

No, the Z/spin relay is in there and operating as is the Coins per play AS relay.

I think I'm going to figure out what I need to do to the AS relay I purchased to make it work in this game. Then I will figure out what the other empty jones plug is supposed to have in it.

The game is up and running and it appears that everything is working correctly except for the point value lights on the spinners and the correct scoring of the spinners, which I think is all done by the Y relay that I'm trying to create by modifying the one I bought.

I'm still pretty green at reading schematics but you guys have helped me get up to speed. I appreciate it very much.

Divide and conquer!

Funny, you are not the first person to tell me that exact thing JR. Maybe they were built with a self destruct mechanism!
