not tried that yet but I will have a quick go ASAP.

I could have sworn that I fixed a board where someone had plugged the power into the wrong socket(the person even said he had). come to think of it, it may have been the switch input as the resistors had fried and even scorched the pcb(it was about 15 years ago). my bad on the power and triac plug.

Good stuff, thanks for sharing Bob. Likewise Im happy to get involved in a group buy if anything comes up. @Road Runnerdoes the extraction tool work on both pins and sockets? If so then it would be worth investing in.

When I saw the price for the extraction tool it made my eyes water! Just to be pedantic the two white connectors are 15 and 12 way (PSU) so no possibility of mixing them up. Have to agree though that they chose the wrong type for the PSU connector but then again they didn't expect them to last 40 years plus!! Mind you I have seen many examples of PSU connectors looking almost new so old loose female crimps are also to blame. Never heard of Gowerpoint before but there is an example on here showing the connectors but unfortunately no documentation as is often the case.

cheers Digby my mate is all sorted now

Nice find. i have the extraction tool for these it not cheap for what it consists of but it’s probably worth the investment as it makes repinning a lot easier. It was a good idea from Barcrest TBF because with the plugs being colour coded it help to prevent wrong connections from engineers that were probably just getting to grips with the new MPU based machines(with the exception of the power and triac that used the same plug and colour on the MPU3 range). They probably should probably have used totally different type for the power plug as overheating was a problem. im sure Gowerpoint used this type of connector at some point. pity they are out of print but if a group buy is on count me in.

Well the saga continues. It's now the 11th year I've been looking and this time I've come up with another AMP document. Of interest in this one is the addition of two more pin types which have soldered tabs for PCB fitting. Not seen these before but they are the normal type of pins (ie the crimp ones). Still no further with the solid pins though and whether they are a separate item or come pre-fitted with the shells. Comboline.pdf

Fantastic, i'll look forward to see a video of it when it's all up and running. ☺️

Spot on, looking forward to seeing the finished article! 👌

Hi, I have this one buts is a data one only T8885_2_49157D I do have T8885_1_43231 which is none data, the machine should update to the latest anyway so might help? let me know Regards

Big thanks to Superbank and Clo. EPROMs have been burned and have arrived. I've tried them and they work! One step closer to reviving this Nudge Double Up 😀

Hey guys, I hope you are all well. So I got bored and bought a non working MPU5 machine for cheap with a 54-2A error. I believe the issue is with the LCD meter near the coin mechanism, however, I wouldn't put it past being the main board. The board itself has some minor batt leakage but seems OK, nothing major. When you switch it on it goes to boot and displays "Yaba Daba Darts" before error coding. No audio with this error message though, which is strange. I was hoping one of you lovely people would have a spare for some beer tokens. Wanted to try replacing this before I bought the board. Many thanks. Chris.

Good afternoon I am after some data protocol software for Classic Red Hot Roll, MPU5, RIO Cabinet. I have attached the full set, I think its bingo if this helps anyone locate RNDR_0-2_STD_CSUM-FB13.P2RNDR.P4RNDR.P3RNDR_0-2B_STD_CSUM-816D.P1 I do have this file, it says its data but if i fit this then the RED status LED stays on and does not boot so not sure if its labelled wrong or corrupt? CSUM is 5332 RNDR0.2D.P1 The PIC and card show conflicting versions but im going to go from the Alpha display. Thanks in advance

I moved the flying saucer sensor towards the top of the tube and then made sure the other one was ok and then the left hand tube is now in use and the right one locked out. I will precede with filling up the tubes and see what happens.

When the coins reach the sensor in tube one, the machine will lock out that coin slot, and only allow 50ps to go into the other 50p slot. You may find the right tube is locked out because the sensor thinks the tube is full. I’ve had it before where the sticker on the tube is confused for coins by the machine. Try sliding sensor around a bit - just allow a few secs for the machine to catch up between moving it

Long time fruitie fan here and dying to get my hands on Club Crazy Fruits - onbe of the best!

Hi all I am not sure if both tubes need the sensor in pic 1 as the right hand tube has one but the left doesn't pic 2. Currently the left tube is lit to take coins but the right isn't. I am assuming that the sensor in pic 1 needs to be on the left tube instead but there is also another connector that's the same as the one that goes into the other sensor just abandoned Pic 3 so again assume that I am missing the sensor? Is there a known PDF manual for this fruit? Regards Christopher

Yeh I will definitely sign up and download. Obviously if I’d know this program was out there I would have just taken the easy route and used that which would have allowed me to use my coding time to work on other software projects(why reinvent the wheel)but as they say we are where we are(I had to get the IO22 usable to program some 2708s and Mars bipolars. I use my Avantech Labtool for everything else). As said before though the challenge is nice and getting a better understanding of how things work is always a plus.

Do have a look at Mikes program you won't be disappointed. It's called PL2260. Congrats for doing your own though, way above my understanding.

Cheers for that. I did see a French based site with some windows stuff for the IO22 but it seemed a bit out of date so i decided to have a crack myself(i did not come across the site you mentioned that would have saved me some time). TBH i actually enjoyed the challenge of coding my own(which i have not yet completed but the loading, saving and transferring of files part of the program works which is all i need for now and will finish the rest when time allows) A quick screenshot of the 2 versions i was working on(1. Simple and 2 more in-depth). Both where in the very early stage of development and will probably look far different when complete. 1. 2.

Hello All As a new memeber here Is this the place i say Hi, As cant find any Introductions Forum page Any way if so Hello to you all

Superb ron love the rugs

I assume this is the Data I/O 22? If so did you know a guy called Mike DiBattista has written a Windows program to talk to all the Data I/O programmers and very good it is too. I use it all the time with my 29B. It's a free download from the groups.io forum DataioEPROM but you'll need to sign up first. Hope that's useful.

Oh, Happy Memories of 50 years ago😁

Funny you should mention that! I used to have this one.
