  • Fish Tales Pop bumper Lamp wiring

    From Marc Konny@21:1/5 to All on Wed Apr 26 05:57:17 2023
    I need some help.

    I'm in the process of rebuilding my Fish Tales pin. Normally I take pictures of everything I dismantle so as not to forget how it goes back together. Lots of pictures so far. BUT for what ever reason I forgot to map out / take pictures of the 3 pop
    bumper lamp socket wiring path before I cut the metal pieces. Now I'm stuck on which post gets solider on to what.

    Is there an easy way to figure out the path way?

    Thanks for the help.

    The General Illumination (GI) lamp circuit is shown on page 3-14 in the
    manual (available on www.ipdb.org).

    I don't see the pops in the lamp matrix chart on page 3-2, so I believe
    those are GI (non-controlled) lamps. Page 3-32 has details on the J120
    plug.

    Also, searching www for "pinball fish tales teardown pictures under
    playfield" turns up some images that may be helpful. For example:

    As Kerry posted the pop bumpers are GI lighting.

    Page 3-32 in the manual has the connector pinouts. Pictures show a violet wire. So pin #6 is violet and pin #11 is white with violet stripe. Those are the two wires you need to each pop bumper light. This is AC so no diodes.

    I should add the connector is on the driver board J121
