i recently picked up a shinobi-converted jungle king cabinet which i'm currently restoring back to its former glory. the cabinet screams TAITO, but the internals are all shinobi-style, all the jungle king boards and wiring have been removed (see pic 1). :(

today i've found out that the original jungle king hat lamps installed in those three holes at the bottom of the plastic monitor bezel (see pic 2) - i've been wondering since i got the game why there were holes in the bezel. now i know :)

here are my questions:
are those bezel sockets part of the original jungle king wiring? or does it connect to something else? as i've said, i don't have the original wiring and i'm planning on using the exisiting shinobi wiring (see pic 3) with an adapter for the pcb board, but i'd love to have those bezel lights as well. can i even get those individually without an entire wiring harness?

or is anyone parting out a jungle king? i'm looking for other parts as well ... ;)

The marquee lights & bezel lights ran to the original Taito power supply putting out 6.3v.
 
I picked up the exact same conversion for free a short time ago. I passed it on to a guy at work who was looking for a Shinobi for the price of the parts needed to get the game running again. The cabinet was pretty rough, and the cost to restore it would have been prohibitive.

Sorry that I didn't take any pictures of the area in question. As dj dns said, the power supply routes up to the marquee lights, then the wires go down the left side of the cabinet over the monitor mounts and end in a molex connector. The connector then plugs into the bezel light assembly, which has bayonet bulb holders with 'wings' that hold them in place in the plastic shroud.

how could you have known? ;)

this means that the bezel light assembly should normally be part of the original cabinet wiring. i'm in the process of aquiring a jungle king wiring harness, let's hope the bezel light assembly along the the bayonet bulb holders is still attached.

thx for clearing this up!

a pic of the setup would be perfect nevertheless :)
