Ok, after sorting this out and she is now running as she should ( just the cabinet to sort out which is nearly finished), i thought i would have a go at doing a full schematic for the MPU1 seeing as there does not appear to be one around. I will make my excuses now........ It`s not perfect, it has probably aged my eye sight by trying to backwards engineer a pcb to a schematic ( thank god it is 70s tech and not triple layer). MISTAKES THERE WILL BE so if anyone notices any let me know and i will check and correct them. It is a big file, it ended up on A2 size and i still ran out of space (appologies for having to cram the rom cartridge in). But it is a start and all being well we can crack it from here. REV2 Bitmap further down thread.

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

I have a couple of the cards with ribbon cables

The only minor detail I've found so far is you have 2x T2's. The top one should be T4 if I'm not mistaken.

Well spotted, so there were at least two of them unless it is the same one, i cant believe the times i have watched the professionals and never noticed that. Not seen anything fot MPU2 although it is basically an MPU1 with extras if you look at the two side by side you can see the MPU1 circuitry in the MPU2. Infact MPU2 looks like a limousine version of MPU1. If i had an MPU2 i could probably extend the existing diagram to include the extras, although the MPU1 ended up the size of A2 so MPU2 would probably end up on a roll of wall paper 🤣

Just watching an episode of the professionals called "the gun" from 1980 .low and behold there's a nippy nudger in a cafe scene .nice juke bix next to it too .

Hi all, so it's been nearly 3 years since I looked at this, I didn't think it was that long! So an update for those interested. The main reason I stopped with this was due to not having the correct size reels or the correct number of steps compared to the original. It worked but could never be an actual 2/3 scale due to this issue. So recently I invested in a 3d printer and have managed to create a set of 2/3 scale reels. Just need to port these over to the old project once I dust it down.

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

hi guys,quick intro,long time player /nerd of fruites...Help Chris217 with his facebook page,pretty well known amongst the community Nice to meet all of you x

Which immediatley makes me think of the Boogie Pimps video Somebody To Love (call me what you like ) 😈

Mark... PM me your address I owe you a bunch of flowers 😆 🤣 20260322_101804.mp4

Turned on the dil switch for front openers? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thanks Bob, it always helps to have that extra set of eyes (i think we used to call it proof reading). I have corrected it on the master and will wait to re-upload as i am sure there will be more.👍 Just noticed for some reason i had not connected pins 3 and 4 on the regulator, have done that now. Also the fuses, FL3 is anyones guess although mine looks about 3 amp ish and F1 and F2 in mine i have no idea if they are original.

Thanks Nick. I've just watched a vid and the 1st reel, most times, only spins a fraction of a revolution. It does spin longer during some sort of game feature but on my test rig I've got no way of knowing when that might be happening? I really need a reel test feature in the self tests, which there isn't.

Here you go 🙂 Thanks to the original uploader @loo mpu4 video manual.pdf

I did start it a few years ago, I'll have a dig through some old harddrives.

Just a heads fellas ,recently a guy I know and friend looked into altering the code for both machines to lift the gamble block from £10 to £100 .ive had stake up for many years and whilst I love this lovely old clubber it annoyed me that i couldn't have a proper gamble on it .this is now rectified. Also done is the ludicrous jp tune given for wins on £12 or above .this is now £25 or£50 depending on bank 2 dip 7 setting . I genuinely think this has now enhanced the gameplay significantly as every win can now be gambled upto £100. The new deluxe or improved roms for both machines have now been dumped on here so feel free to play them or add to an emulator. Ive done a couple of vids on my YouTube channel (sulzerned) so enjoy either way . All the best Nick

Very good john 👍

I very very impressed with this. You didnt have to, and yet here it is. I would have no idea where to start with something like this. Nudge Shuffle next then??! Statto

Very impressive mate, will be great to see this finally take shape! 👍

Hello Change the theme at the bottom of the page. I had a similar problem.

yeah its in the hands of the profiteers now, when available from rs they were 17p each if i remember correctly oh they were sot-23 package so tiny for 2a rating, cant remember any more now as it was some years ago when i was into maygay m1 boards

there are some surface mount transistors which have the same ratings, and i did have a plan to fit these to a small pcb with legs so would be a drop in replacement. but that never happened for reasons most will know

Happy days, what a nice clean board 👍

What a result Ronnie, great machine 👌

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

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

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

Thanks to the rom provider and wizard for mfme v5 spa, niall quinn and orchid for testing. multi stake with the jackpot @ £70 one thing to note is when playing £1 stake the eight lines don't work, only 5 do , as i couldn't get it to behave. shortcuts are £1 in = 0 £20 in=9 £10 in =8 £5 in =7 cancel= tilde key start=space collect=c holds. nudges = 1-2-3 transfer/exchange =t change stake=a play vegas=v vegas or bust=b streak=s this release uses lithograph font, which is included in the game folder.

A quick update for those interested. I got the new controller in. The differences here from original is i'm using a MPU5 PSU (no 5v) so using a regulator. Also using Gamesman reels. Only a short vid

In truth I was reversing into what I thought was the gutter....

So @superbankcame to collect his DOND, the thick cunt nearly reversed into my house 🤣🤣🤣.

Thanks. Just wanted to see if creating a fully working machine out of parts available was possible. It’s something I have been wanting to try for years. It started off by getting a reel moving. Then just built on top.

Hi has anything changed with Dif? I can't seem to log in there anymore. I can't even see the login in button. (android) Thanks
