Well, couldnt find a club so i had to make one (again ), feel free to discuss everything both blue and red Jungle Lord's by Williams in here!

Anyway, i have been offered a free paitnjob by a friend who works in a body shop, so im planning to do some snazzy repaint job on my Jungle Lord (since the metal is...pretty scratched up, looks like someone used a fork to draw lines.) on the metal railings and the legs.

Now, i was thinking red metallic:

But i dunno, what do you guys think? am i insane or A-OK?

(image from the internets for testing)

Also, i made some score cards for mine, kinda basic but i think they came out OK.

Ah, well.......thats already been done, due to rust.

I also had to repaint the playfield and coat around the leg of the woman, the sword handle and the snakes (mixing the skincolor wasnt easy at all, i tell you.), i lined the fixed areas with yellow.

I know it looks odd, but you can only see the skincolor parts when in bright light, like for example camera flash, better then leaving it wood bare like it was when i saved it from a damp storage facility

(the pic is taken after i filled in the black parts, gotten the left skull to look right, almost fixed the blue rock part in the upper left corner and had shaped the sword handle abit.)

Something like this?

Thing is i do not know if he can do gold color or what shade of yellow he have access too at his shop, it isnt a car paintshop but a they paint Hiab liftcranes, forklifts, tractors and stuff like that, so im unsure they have every color on the menu, but on the other hand it will be professional done, free of charge (since he owes me some cash) and i dont have to wait til summer to be able to do it myself in my garage.

Ah, the playfield pic isnt a mock-up though, i have already done it, as i said, the lanes had rust on them which left pock marks after being scrubbed off, so i coated them red, the shooterlane had a deep chip of wood missing, so i filled that in with chemical wood and then to cover the fixed spot which was in a much lighter wood color i had to do something, so i opted with red coor since that was all i had at home.

Well, i went with a Rottendog board for mine, gonna pick it up tomorrow, been switching out every damn chip on my boards and still no-go.

Well, update , installed the Rottendog board yesterday and it...kinda booted up, atleast gave me numbers on 2 of the displays (the rest was dead, prob gonna have to switch displayboard), but i couldnt do much except circle around the codes, also the fuse for the flippers popped, noticed that the left one had loose contacts so im buying 2 new ones and i'll try again with new coils.

Would fuse popping coils stop the game from booting up properly?

Huh, well ive refurbished the powersupply board with a system 7 kit, and it now gives me

1. 4.99
2. 0
3. 13.60
4. 14.73

volts on the test knobs on the powersupply board, but i dunno if those are good values for this kind of board.

Also, soundtest works, but voice disappeared, somehow, it worked earlier and now it doesnt.

Well, derp, i had the wrong game set in the dipswitches, so now its doing something more atleast, but does anyone have the dipswtich settings for DS1 and DS2? cant find those anywhere.

Sent my displayboard to a pal that worked as a boardchecker for Ericsson back in the day, he's gonna check it for me, since it seemed pretty much dead (only player 2 and 4 worked, how much i switched ribbon cables or displays around) although all displayes checked out as fully working, luckily enough.

I also fixed that short fault that the Rottendog boards have with the mounting brackets, i simply bent the middle bracket out.

Well, my playfield skintones look just fine in ordinary light, but when exposed to camera flash it shows that the woman and the guys leg have been repainted, but better that then leaving it woodclean.

Well i should update that the boards are home and installed now, and the game works, but the displays are wonky and only player 2 and 4 is showing, but it only shows 80.000 (it mixes in points when you play, but 80 is always there, and player 4 dont score at all.), but the flippers work, the sound work and th voice works, and it seems the playfield lights loose/bvad connection somewhere since just an hour ago when i was lifting up the playfield to standing position it flashed on for 2 seconds then went off again....cant duplicate what i did since that

You mean the tigerheads? i already got them, but my printer is dead..

Well bros, i got mine working just today! (well almost working, the displays shows random numbers and only player 2 and 4 works, even though ive checked the connection and the voltage...) played a round, got multi-ball and everything seems to work fine now.

Only took like 5 months of complete MPU/driver removal and switch to Rottendog board, miles of soldering, piles of lamps and switching condensators and whatnot.

I guess i can ask here, but does anyone know what the other 2 dipswitches on the Rottendog board are supposed to be set on? DIP2 and 1 in this case, maybe they got something to do with the display issue? (those two red to the right of the board, atm they are all set to the left, cant find any documentation on what they do or what they are supposed to be on either.)

No one knows about the right dipswitches? Anyway, i kinda need some advice here:

On my JL i got everything except the displays to work now, and that last problem is a sure maze, ive had the displayboard checked by a pro, ive tested all the display (and they all work), ive switche dout all the flatcables for new ones and ive cleaned all connections on all the boards, and ive checked the voltage, and weirdly enough only player 2 and 4 works, and shows this:

Is it something done by the powersupply? ive changed the caps on that one but not gone through like EVERYTHING on it, or is it the Rottendog board thats doing it? or is it the big main cap in the bottom of the backbox? not changed that one yet.

Ive been toying with colors on my JL.
