Hi folks.

So as the title states, I have a Taito cab that was originally a Jungle King. Someone (not me) hacked it all up, including the bezzel,overlay,marquee much of the wires and replaced them all with parts for a game called Black Tiger (Jamma). They also put in a new power supply.

I'm a huge fan of Choplifter and this cab is pretty shot as far as returning it to a Jungle king goes, so I decided that it would be a great candidate for a Choplifter conversion.

I've replaced the monitor with one that had far less burn in. I got myself a Jamma/Sega conversion board and of course a Choplifter PCB. (thanks to a forum member!).

I plugged everything in and it all seems to boot up and load fine. When turned on the IC check takes place and the game starts doing its attract mode thing,monitor works great! I attempt to drop a quarter in the coin mech and nothing happens, Odd being as it worked for Black Tiger. Just to be sure, I swap Black Tiger in and try a quarter, it works!

Confusing....

I put Choplifter back in and it all loads up just fine. But the coin mechs still don't work, but I did notice that my marquee is now lit up, pretty sure that it wasn't before. I can follow a wire from the marquee lights and into the main wire loom... Odd.

Anyway! If anyone has any idea as to what's going on, I'd sure appreciate the help, I haven't been able to play the game because the coin mechs don't work. I've been told I can play the game via the service button but I'd still like to figgure out what's going on.

Also, can someone tell me what the heck all this crap at the bottom of the cab? I know that it's the old power supply, but do I still need it? Power is clearly going thru the old system, despite the new power supply. I'd really like to clean this cab up and get rid of the junk.
