Hello Gentlemen and Community, The Machine called WILD ADDER, no battery on MPU1 , only mechanical counters. The COIN INSERT COUNTER mechanical is already adjusted to Swiss Currency and BARCREST Tokens. Here is what i`m searching for: - Connectors like Plugs, Sockets , wiring looms and specially the Pins and Sockets for these connectors. -Name of the Connectors - (Assume Mat-N-Lock standard, -nothing found in the Internet). I have to repair the wiring or purchase wiring looms. -P/N of Pins and Sockets for this connectors an were i could purchase? -WIRING with Plug and Sockets, color white or other ones also acceptable. Please provide an offer. If you have some, let me know. Specially looking for wiring loom from the Coin Mechanismus (3 switches , 3Coils for lock and unlock insert of Money). -Coin-Switch for Coin Mechanismus - 1ea for Token. -Wiring diagram, paper or pdf - MPU1, Wild Adder? or similar ( MPU1 only). Why this machine don`t have a Memory battery? Do you know the manufacture date? Seems like i have a Special machine from Barcrest 1960/1970? It is a pleasure to join the Forum and hopefully someone could help on this. Pictures i could provide but not yet. Lets see the response om ma request. Have a good evening. Looking forward for some more conversations. Greetings from Switzerland -WILD ADDER

Hello Gentlemen and Community, My user name is WILD ADDER from Switzerland. I purchased a WILD ADDER with MPU 1, 15years ago. Now, i find the time for Restauration. This Forum , seems like, is the only way to got some additional Informations on Technical Issues , wirings , Spare Parts to finalize my project.

👍 will order one up.

Hi, just google L7805CV, tons available from eBay and everywhere. it is going to cost you a fiver for a 50p item by the time postage is applied but you may get a few extra on ebay for the same price. Try to stick with reputable British sellers and avoid the Chinesium ones.

Well back from holiday so back into this and hopefully getting this back up and running, where do most people buy a regulator from and what type. Also if someone wants to have a go at fixing the board I don't have a problem paying for your time and parts. I'm getting a couple of machines over the next couple of weeks so if I can't get it working it might get scrapped as I'll be running out of space and would be a shame. Cheers Brian

Hi Riche100 thanks for the welcome.

here is my thread I did 6 years ago on the batteries, on this site

Yes I remember reading about this but haven’t had to do it. I’ve a replacement mpu5 board and a new power supply on way . Reel boards been changed and original mpu5 removed from no working machine

They look really good rinnie .well done

Managed to print these up but in black probably should have used white but they are a good fit

hello and welcome

whats wrong with the one what dont work as for changing the battery its a cr2450 and its not just a case of changing it once you do that you need a ram clear with a ram card to clear the watch dog chip which you can get of ebay or just as simple buy another board

Ive got myself two new machines both barcrest clubbers mpu 5 I’ve only had one other mpu5 and never had any problems when I had it, now I’ve one that works and an other id like to get going again . The search here on the site is hard work or doesn’t work. advice please should I be changing batteries on the mpu 5 and can theses parts be repaired or if one fails is it for the bin and replace ? thanks

Something like this will probably do with a bit of modification ronnie .chop the next off and spray and attached to rhe flexihose https://amzn.eu/d/0fRWl4GY

Yes nick I will look for something to 3d print but I can’t make the design it’s beyond me lol

Id say it stands a chance bob as razzle is in the first style of tall cabs which came out in 83 along with fortune numbers . Uses an alpha display. Auto route and naughty but nice which came out abijt the same time had the purple meter plug s .

You should be able to make something up similar ronnie .would be good to see how you do it .id e looking for a mini funnel and cut the narrow neck part off then spray it grey or cream

Cheers Ron that gives me an idea of what should be there, the white funnel like insert

Thanks for this Ron, luckily this has not been messed with apart from the hold cams, it’s dam near working perfect, I already have it up for sale but I will clean all the relay contacts as you described. I think I will just leave the reel band be as it might be brittle! Would hate to shatter it cheers ronnie

I did wonder if any of my cams had been tampered with i know paul suspected the same with his machine when he looked at it and now yours as well ronnie ..

Yes those two cups to guide the coins into the tube

Just spotted this Ronnie, Carfield electro's have to be the worst ever to work on, The problem is frustrating by the lack of Carfield schematics in circulation. I had a glimmer of hope when contacting the Dransfield company to find someone still working there that remembered these machines and thought some paperwork may be hidden away in a drawer. Unfortunately he reported like all the old gear they look to have been thrown out so, I was back to square one with Nicks machine too. A have made a little progress and managed to get it to fire up, fire being the operative word as it has a timer motor and buzzing plus it's constantly chattering a pay slide. as the pay slide is 240vac I have had to removed the offending relay to silence the slide. so work continues. The stripping of the motor and gearbox would have been my first suggestion for the squeal, the same solid grease I had to chisel out of Nicks reel motor gearbox too. Those light optical sensors that are part of the win circuit through holes in the reel drums are not the best system and this one had been tampered with so expect the wins could be wrong if I can get it running. there are three micro switches one on the back of each reel solenoid arm, they have something to do with the wins too as they are operated on cherry wins. One switch arm was completely snapped off on Nicks machine. The reel solenoid mountings again are different on Carfield to such as Bell Fruit, JPM etc and because of the holes through the reel drums for the light sensor, moving the actual solenoid mount won't be an option Moving the actual reel bands may be your only option to aligning the symbols on the win line. All those open relays that operate on mains 240vac will cause pitting of the contacts causes them to get a carbon coating and that in turn reduces the contact circuit and as the machine relies on good contacts can and will cause many different faults. They do need cleaning periodically but, especially after so many years of use. Contact cleaner is the best option with some heavy card between the contacts saves taking the coating off the contacts. The hold timer on Nicks machine appears to have had the same cam job done on it too. Talking to Paul, his Carfield had a couple of faulty timer motors of which I think he sourced from a donor machine so, As Nicks machine has at least one jamming motor it could be that is a problem with the age of these machines. Again they are 240vac, I have a load of 50v but they are no good for this repair so, The only source I have found for the same motors are from RS but not cheap.

Thanks for the offer, I don't think I've got that one. Does that have a 12v meter panel? I've looked at some pics on here and I can't see it?

Oh nice, I would love a copy of that, got one recently and going to be restoring it
