First (stupid) thing is to verify that the high voltage interlock switch in the coin door is pushed in (closed either physically by your hand or the actuator attached to the coin door). This is easy to overlook.

Playfield motors are powered by +12VU. Flashers are powered by +20V. Solenoids are powered by +50V. I ass-u-me (these usually make an ass out of me) that the flashers are working since they are a separate test (T.5).

No solenoids? Also confirm no flippers since those are solenoids but not tested as part of T.4. I ass-u-me that the flippers probably are not working.

00_solenoid_voltage_supply.jpg

Check for the presence of +50V at the test point. This will read ~70VDC. It is unregulated so a precise value is not guaranteed. Rather it should be within a "tolerance" range. If voltage is absent then it indicates that F112 is probably blown.

The 8-Driver Auxiliary board needs to be repaired. Not necessarily replaced. Repair is almost always cheaper than replace. At least, if you do the repair yourself. If you send the board out for repair, the shipping (both ways) may make the repair cost ineffective.

If you choose to replace this board, make sure you purchase a board that has the pulldown resistor modification on it. That is an important "fix" to prevent floating signals on the data bus. I can recommend some available board manufacturers if you have trouble locating a board.

For the moment, you should look to understanding all your failures before making any purchase, since you may need to make more than one purchase depending on what's wrong.

I think I might have a couple of the aux driver boards. If you’re interested I believe they are fine? I am pretty sure DumbAss makes a high quality replacement of any board you need.

Dumbass is no dumb ass! Nice find!

Not the hero we deserve but the hero we need

Literally watching Batman as I read this

So funny story. (Not really but kinda). After DumbAss suggestion to try my TZ board in IJ then I just sold and moved my TZ out the door. Decided to put the old board back in so I could test solenoids and when I turned it back on… yup the upper playfield and idol are working.

Then I did end up having to change some fuses. 112, 105 and 901. Those were all connected to different solenoids. I forgot when I swapped driver boards I did not check the fuses on my spare and 112 and 105 were burnt on that board.

So back playing 100%. The only issue is the one that started me down this path. That is the game resets to factory settings every time I turn it off. I’m have new battery holder and new batteries. I was going to try NV Ram and that’s when I messed up and put upside down. Gonna get another NVRam chip and see if that solves the factory reset issue.

I gotta say DumbAss you are an amazing asset to our community. I can’t thank you enough for pushing me in the right direction. This game has been in my collection the longest and it is so nice to have it playing again!

Anywhere I can get an Indy topper. Not the 3k one that belongs in a museum.

The one you see on my game above shows that Tilt Topper still has them.

HOWEVER. I can currently not recommend them. I paid for a Jurassic park topper back in September 2023 and they still have not shipped to me. Every month I ask and they say “next week” so seems it’s a real Sh*t show over there right now.

Perhaps if you contact them first and see if they actually have them and can ship them. I don’t know. They use to be good and legit but maybe not anymore?

Heed the warning and buy at your own risk:

Thx…. The target one looks cool. Just too small

Diamond Select Toys has put out a number of things recently with the new movie. I picked up these various vinyl figures at a decent price and they've worked out well for me. I made a mounting plate out of metal that has front and back LED strips, and allows me to attach the idol up there with magnets so it doesn't fall over but I can easily reposition it if I want. I have mounting hardware on the back so I can eventually make a laser cut piece of acrylic with UV printed art on it for a back drop.

Some of these are on sale right now as well so you might want to pick them while they are discounted.

I bought these two statues not for a topper, but to add to my gameroom, and they are really well done.

Where can I grab one set of security bolts for gun. Mine only had 2. Thx

Take one of them off, go to a real hardware store, and look at their selection of carriage bolts.

At least, that’s what is on my machine.

Anyone need A-15946 Bridge Driver Board? I just bought one for $64.95 + $10.95 shipping ($75.90) and found I already have one. I will sell it for $60 shipped in the US.

I'll buy it. PM me if still available and I'll work out payment.

Victor - You are a gem. I don't know of many other pinsiders that would go to those lengths to help a brother out like that..

Oh I've been following, looks like he's getting closer but still a long way to go...

Right!? I’ve been watching since day 1, cheering him on, I’ve built 4 games from scratch and now on the next since

Hello everybody !

I need your help to understand what are those 2 followings connectors under the playfield.
I guess that one of them (which one ?) is for the red leds of the green plane (this is missing on my machine).
But what about the second one ?
All seems to be ok, all seems to work fine.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards

The molex with gray-yellow wire is your plane’s LED flasher

The molex with red-white wire is your right ramp flasher… The pic is a little murky … if it’s got a blue-red wire then it’s the right ramp flasher.

Your game will work fine without them connected. You’ll just be missing out on some lighting effects.

"The molex with gray-yellow wire is your plane’s LED flasher"
=> Ok, thank you !

"The molex with red-white wire is your right ramp flasher… The pic is a little murky … if it’s got a blue-red wire then it’s the right ramp flasher."
You're right for the colors. But impossible to find a picture of this flasher. I think it's totally missing on my machine so that no idea of what it's supposed to look like and where it's supposed to be...

20240521_154916 (resized).jpg

They took a while, but was worth the wait for mine.

The flasher should be on the top of your right ramp… it’s green.

Thank you Jjlp these are very nice!

IMG_1498 (resized).jpeg

IMG_1499 (resized).jpeg

Ok, great. Really apreciate.
Some parts are missing on mine...

20240522_222228 (resized).jpg

Are these still available? Did a search and don’t see them.

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/indiana-jones-wood-handle-gun-plates-mod

Yeah, thanks Davi

you could also PM Jjlp (That is what I did) Look through that thread and pick the ones you like and then ask him if they are still available.

In fact, my ramp is totally broken, so that all the flasher assembly and wires have been removed.
I searched in manual but without success.

Could you help me to list the parts I need ?

- ramp : ok
- green flasher plastic with 2 screws : ok

- bracket ?
- connection ?
- bulb ? (#906 I think)

If somebody can remove the green dome and take a picture, it will help me a lot.

Thanks in advance

For the flasher assembly, you need:
24-8803: socket large pcb twist
5768-13590-00: pcb single lamp
And of course a 906 type flasher.

For the harness, you need 2 and 3 pin Molex connectors with female pins (062 series), and 22 AWG wires for the switch (green, white) and for the flasher (blue, red/white), ~50 cm/each.

Thank you so much ! I'm a little bit afraid, you are speaking about a switch ?
Wow...
I try to find a picture without the green cap

Yes, there is a switch at the exit of the right plastic ramp. Your ramp is broken, the flasher segment is missing.

20240524_145743 (resized).jpg

20240524_145754 (resized).jpg

Ok, great, I have the switch, it is ok for that.
Just the complet flasher is missing.
For the harness, I need a 3 pin Molex with MALE connector.
(Female is on the playfield harness)

Right, a male version is required. Most probably you can't find a flasher board in the shops, but I can send you one repro board. Let's continue via PM.

Congrats to George Lucas!

Having a bit of an issue with the idol not releasing balls. During multi ball it will release 2 but not the 3rd. I can hear it trying to and it flashes and elephant sounds, but it doesn't release it. Then, after a bit, it will release it.

Thoughts?

Not 100% sure but I think I had this issue and I had to reseat some connectors. Don’t remember but it was the usual suspects

Thanks a lot Jjlp for this Ranch OAK version:

IMG-20240527-WA0002 (resized).jpeg

I had that problem, optos. The flasher was "confusing" one. It tested fine, just by chance pulled the flasher and it worked. I had already checked, cleaned optos. Reflowed solder joints and redid connectors. Took a while to find.

It seems there can be a good number of reasons for this. As far as I know you just have to start and work through the list until you find it, but more times than not an opto.

Looking for a little tech help here

Added the tilt topper the other day and within 20 or so games played I’ve blown f116 2 times.

Only other items power hunger mods on game are the biplane / fighter and color dmd.

Any suggestions for a fix on this?

Edit - have pin sound as well, figured f116 is maybe over loaded but not sure how to get around this and have everything working.

Hello adventurers, I made a playfield swap, and now I have a little problem with the mini playfield, when in path of adventure, when I tilt the playfield to the right it works perfectly, but when I turn it to the left it goes very slowly, whit 4 or 5 " micro stops" while turning to the left. But when I go to the test menu, it turns to the left fast and without "microstops".
Can someone tell me what to do?
When the path of the adventure starts the playfield its at the maximum to the right, I no longer remember if the path of the adventure when it started the mini playfield was leveled or tilted to the right. Thanks in advance

Just curious what does this offer that is not in color dmd?

Almost $200 less than ColorDMD's retail price, community driven, open source, and IMO a superior final product in the case of IJ on Pin2DMD versus ColorDMD.

Not trying to throw shade on ColorDMD, I just find Pin2DMD a better more cost-effective alternative on many titles. YMMV.
