Absolutely beautiful job done .ive used the vinyl before many times and it does the job nicely. Have you got any cash boxes for it ?

All finished now and ready to go in my small arcade room. As you know through the earlier posts i have sorted out the mpu faults and got it all running. I also fitted new bearings to the reel deck in the end and converted it to take the new-new 10p (adjusted the mech, removed the magnet and fitted a new payout tube), and it still uses tokens. On a side note i could not believe the mpu still worked as i had it in pieces so many times whilst doing the schematic. All that was left to do was sort the cabinet...... Removed the old base which was glued and screwed on (bitch), built and fitted a new one...... Filled and sanded the top and sides, several coats of pva in the (weetabix) T moulding groove ready for new moulding. Glued a cat to the top of it 🤣 Also moved the token refill keyswitch from the top to the bottom front (god knows how many pints were lost down the back of the machine in its life). Replaced the old flourescents with led lights. Then fitted vinyl wood effect to the top and sides and new t moulding (i know the stick on vinyl is not very hard wearing but it is not going to be abused) Finished!!!!!!!!!

Maygay - Living in America Tech M1 - Rom revision 1.1 Its time to nip over the pond for a trip around America with this rare machine from Maygay. Some say it's very rare machine and some say it was a failed test, whichever it is I have no idea. Thanks goto: Wizard (RIP) for MFME M1ajay for the roms and flyer. Living In America.zip

apparently this £2 version is actually the £3 roms, but due to a technical error in mfme it shows the jp as £2. source - steve lancet.

For anyone reading this in future, as stated above by MattyL. I swapped the very end red pin for and placed it in the next available empty slot (next to the grey on my picture). Issue solved. Thanks all for your input.

Thanks once again for the useful input. Why you think it necessary to answer a question that nobody asked then take offence because nobody was impressed is beyond me. I'm happy to report that you have far superior knowledge of fruit machines than I. Hope you have a great weekend knowing this. X

Thanks mate, So both can be used. That's good to know. I'll switch the red wire and see how it goes.

The PSU sounds like an ultra sonic cleaner! The fans seem to fail. My take is its just general case air movement... its not like a proper heat sync or critical exhaust fan but is beneficial obviously. Both power supply types can be used. You just have to unlatch the end red wire crimp and move to a spare 12v. I still think you might have another problem. I'd at least expect it to start booting. If you can use a multimeter you can measure the 5v while connected to the machine. If it dips bellow a threshold voltage I forget what so im going to guess at 4.8v-5.2v (Sega) the Scorp4 will keep reseting. Needs to be connected to the load (machine).

all i can say then is google is your friend, find the pinouts, check they are the same, if not modify the wiring and there you go, good luck in your quest

No I didn't. I asked about 2 specific PSU's, gave their model numbers and asked if they were Interchangeable. Thanks all the same.

no idea!, you didn't post a pinout of the sps077w. you asked if all scorp4 power supplies were basically the same, i said they are not and gave you the reason why they are not the same

It's hard to pick up on the video but I tried. Also I just noticed there is a fan in the unit that doesn't spin. Should it spin as soon as it's powered on? YouCut_20260410_092220064.mp4

Yes mate I've separated it from the machine and it's humming like high pitched. The battery was done a few years ago and is now wired separately from the board to protect agaist future leaks. So from your comments, a working sps077w should just plug and play?

I think you have another problem because of the noise. Can you confirm its defo coming from the supply and not the speaker? Unserviced Scorp 4 machines in 2026 will probably have a leaking battery on the main board which most people diagnose as a power fault, so take a look at that. Film the noise if you can, I've never know a scorp 4 supply to be humming personally- x2 seems very strange/interesting. Looking at your loom, if there is a power supply mismatch- its not the destructive way around. Ive seen machines with the wiring the same as yours and with the later supply it usually manifests as something like no power to the reels... Defo shouldn't be humming.

Thanks so much, this is the plug from my machine which appears to utilise the end pins like in your picture, is that what you mean? Should I look for a psu that has a similar pin label to that ?

there are differences between supplies, its usually the end pin, some have 12v on them, some have something else, so the trick is to make sure your machine doesn't use the very end pin then they work, as for the models that this happens with i cant remember now

Hi, I have a Scorpion 4 machine with a failed PSU (makes a really loud humming noise and does'nt power the machine correctly). The PSU is the Sanken GSK017HA 44v. About a year ago I took a gamble and bought a 44v Sanken SPS077W hoping it would work as the connections are identical. However, it didn't light up the machine. It just made a loud whining noise, I assumed that this PSU isn't compatible and left it hoping to come across a 2nd hand GSK. I've come back to it this week, and discovered the the replacement I bought makes this noise even when its not plugged into the the machine. So my question is: Did i buy a faulty PSU and just assumed its not compatible, and are these 2 PSU's actually inter-changeable? Thanks,
