Hi everyone. Just had a look at a old jungle princess. Don't have an older em so wouldn't mind getting one.
Drop targets don't reset. I think it registers that they are down.
Ball lane feeder doesn't work
I think everything else is working
A little pf wear.
Cab seems to be redone but not sure if it is correct.
Not sure about a price.
Any input appreciated
Thanks
-
Nice looking project pin.
Cab has been redone with a unique design..LOL. I can supply stencils for this game if you restore it.
So long as nothing is missing, this is a nice EM to fix.. drops rebuilt, ball return is most likely a dirty switch or burnt out coil.. a good fixer uperer!
Go for it.
-
Nice project and a great game ;) drop targets have there own fuse hopefully something simple
-
Think he's chasing 400.
-
go for it. You can't go wrong for $400.
EM's are good to work on.
-
Yeh...$400... don't think twice. Nicely priced project
-
I'd have to get some education about them. I know nothing about how they work. That's half the fun I suppose.
-
get hold of the Manual & Schematic. for starters.
Check out Clay's Guide here: http://www.pinrepair.com/em/index.htm
Just take it slow & steady, and make sure you don't have it plugged in when you are working on it.

I had a jp nice game. As Gav said the cabinet art is custom and I don't mind it I gues it comes down to how much of a purist you are.
-
Is there anyone that does plastics for these older games?

Ok. All positive and no negative. I might give it a go.

Plenty of us on here will be able to help you get it going.. ^^^

$400 is a bargain price
-
Just be carefull working on those big reset coils 110V , high voltage!!
Unplug the game from the wall before touching those big coils ,
even if the game is switched off by the switch , these older gottlieb EM's can still have live voltage throught to the 3 large coils , read your schematics beforehand.
good luck with the resto xxx

I have a the full set of original plastics off my Jungle Princess ,colours are a little faded but they are in good nick. Pm me if your interested.

I've got a Jungle Princess and I think Ive got the schematics.
All my machines are in storage at the moment whilst renovations take place at our house.
If you need any advice, let me know.
-
So any success obtaining the game ? Great price for a project.

This game was bought by a collector here , Not sure if he will be restoring it yet or used as a parts machine.

Now that brings back memories!
I won a Jungle Princess in a Competition back in 1979 and loved it as a 15 year old pinball freak would.
I sold it in 81 at an auction for about $250 (I was only earning $75 a week then) but it was in great condition as it was only 4 years old at the time, still remember the smell inside the cabinet.
Wish it popped up around here for $400 as I would love to have it again. :)
Cheers: Brettski... :)

That's a great story and not without a possible good ending. My GTB Solar City cost me $400 only a few years back non working... so they are out there.
Plus the loves much greater if you have to give them life.
