Hi all, sorry about the ridiculously long gap between posts but work has been manic. Well the machine now lives on and is working perfectly (except for the payout mechanism) thanks in a massive way to @roadrunner who has managed to save the machine. After a chat with him I sent the board and drive to him and his incredible skills repairing the board and disc drive got it up and running again. I did have a strange issue with the back door switch which turned out to be faulty and kept rebooting the machine and then switching off the coin mech light. Once this was sorted it was all good to go. It's been a real trip back in time and my friends and family have loved playing it while trying to throw the brain back to early 90's. I'm absolutely delighted with it, the only challenge other than trying to win was finding old coins which my son finally did. A big thanks again to Roadrunner for all his assistance including tech support in getting it going. I'll try and post up some pics and video if I can. Not sure if video will be to big!

It would appear that in the very rare occasion I win the machine makes a noise like it's paying out but no money actually comes out. There are coins in the payout tube. Ps. I meant to thank you as well warlord as your great write up on your rebuild was really useful info 👍.

A bit more done,soon be ready to fit electrics and wire it all up.

I have spoken to ED recently and he’s taking a step back from the fruit machine side, work and and family life,,
