I've been working on converting an Elevator Action back into a Jungle Hunt. I've done some repair here and there on a hand full of games, but this has been my biggest undertaking. Luckily, converting this game back isn't too big of a deal. I did have to install a new monitor though.
Having some problems with the conversion.
1. No sound in the game. I've checked the pots on the board and they are up. Wiggling them doesn't produce any static or crackle in the speaker. There is no buzz/hum in the speaker. Board was purchased tested and working.
I hooked up the Elevator Action board and got no sound with it either. I don't know about the state it was in when I got the game, but I know that at one point not too long ago the sound was working when it was Elevator Action.
Any ideas here? I don't know what else to check. I checked the continuity of the speaker wire with a multimeter and it checked out.
2. Coin up switches not coining up/Coin door lights extremely dim. There is a test coin switch on the coin door and that does register a credit, but neither of the actual switches work. I swapped out burned out light in the coin door and they glow extremely dim. I am pretty sure I am using the correct bulbs (#44).
I did quite a bit of work during the restore and may have messed up something along the way. I removed the control panel, added new switch type buttons, removed the coin-door and cleaned/painted it, added a new monitor, did some painting on the cab... any idea what might be causing one, or both of these problems?
One thing. At the board, there is this loose connector. I dont remember unplugging this from anything and cant tell where it might go looking at the schematics. Could this have anything to do with my problems?
EDIT: I just hooked up another speaker to check and still nothing.
