Merry Christmas

Far too early. Come back on 25th!

Brilliant stuff ,they look jist rhe ticket .

Merry Christmas Richie to you and your family and all the best for 2026

Things have kind of ground to a halt, as we’ve had a lot going on recently, family wise. Hopefully make some more progress in the near future.

Nice... they look perfecto 👌

I designed them on Tinkercad and got a local guy to print them. Tinkercad is really fun. Big thanks to MattyL for the heads up.

Are you 3D printing those Pete?

Well this is my latest project...it's been fun making the lamp masks

Hi, Does anyone have any documentation on this machine? Thanks Alex

Hi everyone, I'm new to this world. A friend of mine just gave me a fruit machine that definitely needs repairing. It has a Scorpion 2 engine.

Here are the new lamp holders 👍👍👍

Well done for sticking with it and getting it going, perhaps you should buy a few more machines now you have bought all the test equipment. 🤣 As previously said above thanks to Bob and Andrew for helping and saving another relic. Well, what to do now, this story is over, the TV is crap, perhaps i should pay some attention to my MPU1, perhaps...........

I've enjoyed following this thread, and very pleased that another machine has been saved. All credit to Midibob and Andrew for generously sharing their knowledge and experience. What a great forum this is.

Good stuff

Merry Christmas

👍👍 team effort!

hello and welcome

Good evening. No, don't jump in the water. Not now. I have a second machine to start. You thought you were out of the woods. Just kidding. With everything I've learned from you, I should be able to do something on my own. And if I can't, well, I'll come and ask. Thanks again, gentlemen.

Felicitations mon ami. J'ai cru que j'allais sauter dans la Tamise.

Bravo!!! Bravo! 😀 RP8 is the culprit. Incomprehensible. I desoldered it and tested it outside the MPU; it's fine. I had tested it before, though. On the MPU, RP8 is allowing 5V to pass through. I'm very happy, very happy to see it working. It's a bit of an 80s nostalgia trip. I'm going to fine-tune the settings and run the test mode. I want to thank the contributors, Midibob, Andrew96, and Jimxxx, for their expertise; without which, I wouldn't have achieved this success. 🤝 Truly, hats off to you. Sincere thanks. I hope this thread will help repair other MPU3s. Gentlemen, thank you again.

So, with D40 with one leg sticking out, I'm getting 5V. Okay, I remove RP8. I resolder D40; and there; it's good. I test RP8; it's OK. This is all very strange. Continuing with this, I'm going to replace RP8. We'll see.

So, I just ran some tests. IC5 removed from its socket. Green connector unplugged. I traced each trace, tested each trace, and checked for short circuits with neighboring traces. Nothing. And I have 4.6V on pin 10 of IC5. (PB0) So, I think in this case, D40 can only be faulty. I can't see anything else. I'm going to take one from another MPU. Thanks
