It's a shame this game gets such a bad rep. There are some really cool shots on it and completing all modes to get to Sandiego is really hard to do. Without a doubt a sleeper pin.

Hi guys. I have a JP Lost World that all of a sudden won't start. Everything else seems to work except the start button. All the fuses are good and the wiring looks ok too. Has anyone else had this problem? All power LEDs on the power board are lit.

I have this game and love it !!
I have the 3D translite mod!! One interesting thing is that this game does'ntt have its name on Translite. Does anyone know another game like that?

I don't think this pin gets a bad rep - it's just lumped in with all the other Sega's (ie non-B/W's) on the a-list lemmings hate train. Great game, *all* unique shots in the different modes, Jeff Goldblum...what's not to love?

Well I joined the club!
Picked one up for peanuts.
Is it just me or is the Gi very low?

Glad I stumbled on this post... I just picked up a lwjp and noticed drop target and snagger don't work so this gives me a place to start looking.

Yep,
Looking at that video I have Gi out.
Hopefully I'll get time to look at it later.
Am I missing something when lifting the playfield or is really that bad and not pull forward?

Stretch I have a snagger gearbox for sale if you want it. No motor just the gearbox. Tested working.

Ill see how i make out with mine first and see what the issues are. Thanks

Good luck with it!

So the top left Gi was out due to a loose fuse holder.
Couldn't find a problem with the back right except every bulb was blown! Every single one was silver.
Will replace them when I get a rubber kit.
I also cclean the easy bits. I'll be stripping it down when the rubbers come.

Yea sure.
I've never done any pf repair do that would be cool.
Thanks

My snagger was running a bit rough. It wasn't hitting the down limit opto.
Striped it all back and sorted it out.
Very simple mech but at the same time a complete bastard to get right. Took me and a friend 3 hours to get it going and maybe 3 atempts to get it right.
Now it's nice and smooth and a little bit faster.
Bastard of a job.

My down opto seems to be busted. Working intermittently and also giving false closed signals randomly.
Have ordered a new pcb.
Have to say I quite like this game.
I do wish once you finished a mode it became locked.
Or had the option to turn this on

Hey Urbanledge. When you say you are going to strip the playfield down, do you mean, remove all the ramps and plastics? If so, would you mind snapping a few pics of the playfield? I would like a pic of the bare playfield for reference and Can't seem to find any good ones. In particular, I don't have any good references of the top of the playfield, as the ramps cover most of the pf.

Sorry ed!
I stripped it last night and put it all back together!
6 hours straight.
I didn't strip it back to the bare playfield just all plastics and ramps off.
It came up lovely too.
I did take this pic when I was checking the GI

D'oh! No worries. Thanks for sharing that pic. Looks like it turned out real nice! If it's not too much trouble, would it still be possible to snap a few pics of the upper playfield, even with the ramps? And maybe some close-ups of the toys from various angles, like the egg, the baby t-rex, and the jeep? No worries, if you are not able to. I'm just kind of surprised there aren't as many photos of this table as I thought there would be on the net.

Hey Northvibe,

I am requesting these for use with vpin, so HD is preferable, but it does not have to be. I think more importantly for the toys, is to have the pictures at multiple angles, at approximately the same size. Any help is appreciated. Seems like a fun table, which is why I'm surprised there aren't as many resources available for it. I know the DE version gets more love.

I installed a NOS opto board for the snagger.
It's now working better.
It still misses the odd time but i think I might have chosen the wrong balls. The odd time the ball might stick on the back magnet .
just gotta do the stereo sound and remote batteries and this pin is off to live in a friends for a while.

Added the 3rd amp in last night.
very straight forward job .Also remoted located the battery pack.

I dont have any speaker grill so decided to use the blanking plastic bit for the moment or maybe keep it.
Used a CnC to drill 1600 1mm holes in it!
came out nice.

Got to put it all together later and add the knocker.

Yea its for the right channel.
I used this kit.

What was up with your game?

Hmm I put it all back together and the sound out of the right speaker is really low
I'll have to check my resister values but im sure they are right.
any ways...
are these stock on the DMD ribbons?
2014-08-28 21.58.20.jpg

No they seem to be there to stop interference or something.
I'll take them off and see what happens.they can slide on the ribbons.

I'll have a look for you when I get home.
Gimmy 2 hours

OK had a look and could only find one place near there with a white/green.
As you look at the underside with the playfield up to the right of the subway there is a little tab about 20mm long sticking out of the PF.

Hope thats it!

Good stuff!

well done on cleaning! is it just novus and elbow grease or some magic marker, isopropyl, buffing wheel magics?

Has anyone ever finished the raptor or mobile labs modes?
way too hard

It had a good run but Ive a roadshow in the house now!
