Royal Rumble (WWF)
Data East, 1994Just picked up a Royal Rumble which needs a bit of work. It's missing the TAG button housing and TAG button, just wondering if someone who has a royal rumble could take a picture of the inside the cabinet of how the wiring is to the tag button so I can see what I am going to need. Thanks
BAA sells the TAG buttons, so check there for the actual button. Housing is somekind of black plastic on mine. Do you still need a picture of the TAG button wiring?
BAA is out of stock right now of the housing but do have the TAG button, MAD Amusements also has the TAG button but I am trying to email them to find out shipping cost but there email isn't working properly. I still do need a picture of the Tag button so if you could send one that would be great, probably going to have to make my own wiring harness to go from the button to the connection on the cabinet wiring.
Here are some pictures of the Tag Switch wiring. The first is the wiring connector from the TAG switch to the cabinet wiring, 4 wires, green, red, white and yellow.. Next two are shots of how the wires are soldered to the TAG switch lugs. Note there are two diodes soldered to the switch. It will make more sense when you have the actual TAG switch in hand.

Pretty certain, not lit all the the time. Mine is lit when waiting to launch ball and when game mode requires you to hit the TAG button. I will double check it later.
Awesome thanks Chet. One more question for now 
On the opposite side by the shaker motor there is the shaker motor board, there is a wiring harness not connected to anything but I found a picture which I have posted with this that has another smaller board above the shaker board and this wiring harness is connected to it but looking at my cabinet there are no holes in the cabinet that would indicate there was something mounted above the shaker motor board. Does your game have this board? If it does do you know what it is for and could I get the number off that board. Thanks again

My game only has the shaker motor board and the game manual does not show any other board in the cabinet in that location either. Not sure what it is..
Quoted from jasonp:Does the tag button flash all the time or does it flash when you should be tapping/hitting tag?
Not sure if mine is hooked up correctly.
The tag button flashes when its time to shoot the ball, when it's time to make a tag and I think during the start of multi-ball
Quoted from dyno:Just wondering the green wire, white and purple wire and the end of the one diode, what are they connected to? Looking at the picture I can't tell if it's the microswitch or to the cabinet.
Looking at the switch from inside facing the the coin door, The white wire goes to a solder lug on the left side of the switch that is closest to the coin door, and the green wire is soldered to a lug directly in front of the white wire lug. The unbanded side of the diode is soldered to the same lug as the green wire and the banded side of that diode is soldered to switch lug above the yellow wire. the yellow wire is connected to a lug on the bottom of the switch using a quick connect type lug. Again, with a switch in hand, this would be much clearer.. The red wire and the banded side of a diode are connected to a solder lug that is screwed into the side of the cabinet, opposite, but near the switch.. the other end of this diode is soldered to a lug on the top of the switch, by itself.
Got another question but not about the wiring I was able to track down a housing for the TAG button and it arrived today, thought it would be hard to find one but I got lucky. Looking at the pictures you posted there is a metal bracket that goes into the bottom of the plastic housing, I think it looks like there are some nuts at the bottom of the metal bracket but it is hard to tell. Just wondering if there are bolts that hold the bottom of the plastic housing to the metal bracket. The manual doesn't show anything.
Good find on the Tag Housing. Yes there are two black round head, cabinet style bolts on each side of the housing that are fastened to the metal mounting brackets on the inside of the cabinet. These cabinet bolts look to be the same as those used to attach the lock down bar bracket near the front top of the game on each side. They are smaller than the coin door frame mounting bolts so you can easily see them.
