I just replaced my Target Alpha banks - and also agree that you really don't have to cut anything. What I did to provide more room in the frame to get those targets in and out, is replace the machine screws that hold the frame together, with longer screws, and just screwed them in enough to hold... that way the frame gives much more, allowing the targets to come out with ease... I did all that work in about 25 minutes, easy squeezy - with no cuts.

Also a proud owner of a Jumping Jack - long term owner; still play it too.

Anyone have a Jumping Jack head that you could part with to make some cash???... head only would be optimal... but I'd take a fully populated one... Stupidly bought a JITB with an awesome cabinet to make one awesome JJ... only issue is that I didn't take into account that a JITB head is too large to fit a JJ backglass! DOH.

Mike Berger came through with a nice JJ head - thanks MIKE!!!!

Well, have to laugh at my predicament... I have a JJ, with a poorly painted cabinet - it looks ok, but there was no webbing applied and it looks bad next to my current lineup of original cabs... anyway, I bought a Jack in the Box so I could swap cabs, as the JITB cabinet is in fabulous original shape. Well, not such a great idea - the cabinet heads on the 2 games are NOT the same size, as the 4 player is higher to accommodate the 2 extra sets of score reels. One other issue I now have, is that since this game was designed for export to MONDIAL, it has a different lock-down bar and associated lock mechanism... keep this in mind if you're doing swaps of like games!

JJ/JITB are great games. I played it a ton at arcades back in the day, and thought back then it was a fantastic player. Since that time I've owned 2 JJs and 1 JITB. Still have one I bought 20 years ago. I've serviced a bunch of them over the years as well.

Interesting that I've seen very few nice cabinets; this game got abused at arcades; something about getting drained down the middle from a quick pop bumper shot that drives players crazy! Gotta love it!
