Hey there everybody, i'll start off by admitting my beginner status to the community.

I recently got a Jungle project for myself as a worthy (cheap) candidate to play around with. The machine powers on and illuminates the backglass lamps, but thats about it. No playfield lights, not able to add credits using the coin mechs, ect ect ect. Checked all the fuses using a multimeter and all check out. Cleaned all the "plugs" with no improvements. QUICKLY gone over all the wiring and contacts, all seem fine.

I plan on going through the pinrepair.com checklist from start to finish, but i figured id double check the forums (before tracing every wire). Maybe i'm just missing something extremely simple, or need to clean DEEPER.

One easy test is check voltage coming out of the fuses. If the ancient fuse holders are bad they may not be passing electricity through them even if the fuses are good.

did you take the fuses out when you checked them

That shall be my evening project.

But of course, I think the fuses were replaced before I got it. All look very shiny and new.

Check the tilt/game over relays.

Check the jones plug connectors at bottom of cabinet.

Credit issue probably has nothing to do with it. Have you tried manually pressing in the start relay?

You haven't said if you are able to start a game or not.
