I traded my working big brave for this non working jungle queen with an almost perfect backglass. Probably foolish, but jungle queen was a title that I really wanted. I found a few switch blades obviously messed up and made sure the ax bx relays had a good latching motion, but it's still hung up somewhere.

When the game is turned on, it resets, the ax relay and then The bx relay engage and then then resets again. Over and over. Does anyone have a clue where to start? I've visual check out all the relays but nothing seems out of the ordinary to me.

Alright I reset everything and powered the game on. As soon as you power the game on it goes into the reset sequence. All the score reels reset so that's good I guess, but it still endlessly resets, engages ax, then bx.

Edit:
Ok I check the coin switches and one was stuck closed. My bad! I press the rest buton and the game resets. Then the game over light comes on with player one and player four lights on and the match number.

This is what the hold relay looks like. The game over relay was toast and I replaced it already. I checked the switch on the bottom board and the backbox that you mentioned in the scuba thread so my assumption is that this relay is burnt up.

edit: I replaced the relay with a known working relay and it still doesn't energize. Would it be ok if I just soldered across those two switches that are used for slam/tilt with the weight on them?

I jumped both swithes and nothing really improved. Sorry for th constant updates, I have a snow day today

Thank you for you help. Without you, it seem like a lot of gottlieb EMs on pinside wouldn't be up and running. I will check those switched more carefully little later tonight.

That tutorial and this competition video is the reason I wanted this game. Looks so fun!

I checked all the switches on the s relay and everything checks out with a meter. I dd notice that three of the switche had continuity even though they were open. Not sure if that's because one of the latch relays were opened/closed? All the anti cheat swotches check Out with a meter too.

Here are those switches just incase that does matter. On the first image the bottom switch has continuity even though it's open.

The bottom two in this image are the same as well.

I wish. All I spread them out a little more just to be sure and no dice.

I'm not at home right now but I can say that the s relay does engage in its own when the replay button is pressed. I'll check r when I get back

Alright, R does pull in when the reset button is pressed but then stops after about a second

Ill focus on the jones plug and the switch on r then. The anti cheat switches are for sure closed according to the meter. Thanks for the help!

Checked those switches again, cleaned every jones plug and checked for a break and didn't find anything. If I manually push in the R relay the tilt relay pulls in. Is that suppose to happen?

Looks like the schematic is different. Yes the actual T relay pulls in. I'll rotate the image and re upload it when I get to a computer.

Perfect!! Looks like my red wire was on the inside instead of the outer tab. Everyone was still asleep this morning when I checked so I didnt want to reset the machine, but I did power the game on and R holds when manually pressed in and the T relay doesnt do anything.

I think you got it

We have some progress! I think? The game resets, the just as it's about to kick the ball out all the playfield lights go out and the switches don't score. The ball endlessly kicks to the shooterlane without advancing the ball cout.

You're right, it looks like h I the path for all that. I can manually hold that relay in while the ball is kicked out and the flippers, lights, and switches work. The wierd thing is that the actual tilt relay pulls in too. Only when the make/break switch on H changes state does the tilt relay engage andeverything work.

Cleaned and lubed the rivets on the player unit. Doesn't even orientation of the arm matter really, or will it always find home?

I checked all the tilt switches and they are all closed. They show normally closed on the schematic. I'm not sure what else to check that would cause a tilt.

got it! Now I need to focus on the player unit and this coin unit isn't incrementing like it should. It's nice to flip the ball around though

I got my tilt and anti-cheats mixed up. I went and found all the red/yellow wired ones and opened them. I just assumed all switches with the bounce weight were anti-cheat, but the one under the playfield was actually a tilt switch.

Im going to have to go out into the garage and see what the right position is for the arm on the player unit by taking a look at my vulcan project. Im pretty sure it resets just fine.

I cleaned the shoulder bolt on the coin unit and its still not resetting right even though that is moving freely.

Thank you for all the help!

So.... I moved and was able to leave my games at my old house until I got married. I just set up jungle queen and it's totally dead. A few lights on the back box come on but that's it. All the fuses checked out, but the coils don't seem to be getting any power. Score motor won't return home when I manually move it either.

Any idea where I should be looking?

I'll try cleaning them, but it looks like all are connected.

The 25v fuse had some wiggle in it, so I put a jumper wire across just to see and the game is working like before. I have time to work on this one now, so I may post some more questions after I give a few things a look. Thanks again!

So I don't have any lights anymore. If I take a meter the the playfield and back box lights, they are getting about 3.6v, but they are not on. Any ideas?

Yeah everything is out. Coin lights and everything.

The game is totally playable, but no lights anywhere. I did just notice that some of the back box lights BARELY flicker when it's being played. Almost like vibration is causing it

I'll try that again, but I tried my little jumper wire thing again and nothing. I took the playfield out to get better access to the coin unit, then put the playfield back in and it did this business.

I found out what it was. There were two tabs barely touching on the last call relay and after I separated them the laughs last came back.

So the game resets, but doesn't kick out a ball. If I manually push the ball in the shooter lane and then try and move to the next ball, it never moves to the next ball.

Sorry it's been so long, I picked up a sky jump and that has been my focus, but I'm back on jungle queen now. O does not lock on unless I manually activate it. It then kicks the ball out just fine. I had schematics for this but the stupid dog peed on them... I was. It happy one bit.

No, not at all. The ball count doesn't change either

I just looked at the coin unit and when those two switches are closed, O energizes. The balls don't advance though. When the switch that the ball rolls over to get to the shooter lane is rolled over, the score motor turns and then p relay energizes.
