Cheers Mike. Kinda what I was thinking, seems a bit odd tho. The 5p mech is the same, although the coin chute part is missing also

I'm fairly sure I have had this in the past, I think I cut a small bit of plastic to stop it from popping out, but it was a while ago 😅

Is there a part missing from this coin mech? 10p's are inserted, and they are accepted...however, instead of the cradle flicking the 10p into the micro switch to register a credit, the 10p goes straight out the back of the coin mech (as shown by me holding a 10p) instead of dropping onto the micro switch. Any thoughts?

Well done on saving a classic, looking great

Love it! Truly an absolute classic 👌

That is super shiny. Plastics look mint too. What polish do you use?

Cheers. Cabinet is pretty good too. I think that parts were robbed out of it in the 80s and it has stood neglected in a 1st floor store room of an arcade gathering dust since then. The arcade has been taken over by new owners (previously owned by same family for 40 odd years) and they were clearing out old stuff. It still has that arcade smell which I love

She s a beauty pete and what a fantastic project to have taken on .look forward to a full lenght vid once all the odds n ends are tied up .

Well, she lives. Couple of teething problems with the coin mechs, need to get some starters for the fluorescent tubes. Payout is temporarily disconnected. Finally fitted the test switch (many many thanks Nick for your generous donation to this project). It's taken a few weeks, but I love it 20251017_182306.mp4

Nice work on all aspects. you can’t beat a good restoration project and seeing what looks like a scrapper being brought back to factory condition.

That is coming on a treat! Great transformation 👏👏 and as always the guys on here come good, with their help 👌

Hopefully get it running soon...

Looking great 👍

Well there's progress... She's not finished, but certainly getting there. PSU recapped and tested. MPU pretty much re-chipped due to not booting and proper rusty legs. Many thanks to Magic aka Peter Falconer for his troubleshooting. 7 of the horrid little ZTX450 transistors replaced. EPROMs acquired. Many thanks to Clo and Superbank! Reels acquired. Many thanks to Phil. Reel symbols printed and laminated. Big round buttons and lamp masks acquired. Many thanks to Dave.

Here's the meter panel diagram I put together. https://www.fruitemu.co.uk/ib/files/file/1815-mpu3-12v-meter-panel-15300-1/

Here's an mpu3 manual with a bit of info.. Dave. 87372-big-game-wiring-diagrams.zip

Hi guys, I hope anyone has an idea where to look when this alarm keeps popping up on my machine? I browsed the forum and also tried to find schematics for MPU 1 2 3 boards but i can not find any.. Thank you in advance if you can help me out.

It’s nice to see old threads still being helpful and added to after over a decade. i was in my 40s then and by the end of next week I will be in my 60s.👨‍🦳👴

Tony, there are two part numbers for the tin ones. 640579-1 26-24 AWG 640545-1 26-18 AWG Not sure which one you'll need but probably the first one. Mouser and Digikey have these in stock but I don't think Farnell did the smaller ones.

Did you get stung for import duty? I can only see it being sold from the USA.

I brought the backbit one useful piece of kit

Does anyone have a link to the male pins for this socket ive got one with faulty pins Cheers Tony

I've already asked him and it was was a 'no' as it won't ever support 40 pin devices. Shame that but as Andrew says even some of the well known testers aren't that reliable with CPU's, PIO's etc.

I bought one of these but haven't played around with it too much yet. Interested to see if he can implement testing of TMS9980s and some of the other old processors.

Hi does anyone have a picture of a PC92 game card? Thanks
