What a result Ronnie, great machine 👌

Thanks guys I’m loving it! Managed to crack one its own mpu looks like I just caught the battery in time! Wet patch under the crusty battery, Otherwise the board is very clean

Very nice. Love it

Beautiful ronnie .nice little run on 10p wins there lol!

Is it working now?

Well.. reseated a lot of connectors, and everything seems to be running in door open mode. Which..tbh.. is ok. I'm not going to fill this machine with £150 of loose change I don't have. Bulbs!!. Most are dim, some are burnt out. What is the bulb number to replace them with. It's a wedge style bulb. Thanks. Statto

Will try and do it again, if not will upload to youtube

Same here too ronnie cant view it

Not sure what happened here! Worked on my phone, will try again edit, working for me

IMG_6526.mov She lives! Fitted my working spare board, still no boot! Cracked open the game card and re seated the roms and bingo she sprang to life! So its own board works on the bench but I will need to open it up and check it over for battery damage and replace the caps etc but I’m well delighted 🤩 Short video with 20 credits

I know think it was DPD he used, he had another base but has since dumped it! I think it would be too much hassle for you nick but thanks for offering it

Ah fair enough ronnie .I dont know how graham got the postage down to 8 quid for something so large and heavy lol but yeah difficult to package .

lol we all have lists like that maybe one day 😂

I do not (yet) it's on the list of things to do...

Cool thanks do you have it scanned? Always good to have a printed copy

Thanks nick graham Superbank bank sent me a base for big shot think it was only 8 quid to post but probably pain to box!

Looks great. I have a manual for this if you need any info

Looking good ronnie 👌. Ive got some bases but one will be way too heavy to send to you . If you need any pics just let me.know

Well just arrived about an hour ago, and on first look I’m happy! Needs a good clean inside and out, glasses are perfect intervals complete, just the base is missing! Mpu is dead will get a better look tomorrow

Grip the plug whilst squeezing the two plastic tabs, gently wiggle and pull ( If that sentence was printed in Mayfair it would have a whole new meaning 🤣)

Back door switch will just be the wiring connectors on the wrong terminal s probably needs to use the bottom two terminals .nice that youve got this.machine after so long .thanks for the thread and look forward to updates .

Err... I haven't had the PSU apart yet. Those round plugs, look very brittle. What is the best way to disconnect them?? Plus, this is all I get now, when turning it on. Along with reel alarms, which are probably dirty optos

Looks good, I will ask the question that always gets asked..... What condition is the MPU in specifically the battery area? I assume it has been fly wired or replaced in the past as it is nearly running.

Broken wire on the start switch. Banked 50p, pressed collect. Nothing. Now it's stuck at that. How do I clear the bank?? Impressed, for a 40yr old machine UPDATE: the 50p bank needs to be paid out in 10ps. Tube switch for 10p's was obviously showing empty. Cheated it, and five healthy clunks later, it's back to attract mode. It's weird. The back door switch is open, but it will credit, and pay out as normal 20260301_133100.mp4
