I just can't resist a challenge, it'll be my downfall one day. So, a bit more on the Chico Display PSU board. The original board had got well overheated so the only thing to do was make another one! Here's the before and after... I thought it would be a good idea to raise the power resistor off of the board with some ceramic spacers in case of an overload. All ready to go back.... On the original board the power resistor just fell off as the solder had melted! Also the regulator's joints were all dry!

Yeah thats right ronnie .quite a heavy weight cab and well made . This carfield has a lot of bespoke parts particular to carfield/dranfield machines. Also one oddity is the use of barcrest mpu1 machine fruit symbols instead of the uusual style of fruits carfield usually used . Not sure why or how they got around to being allowed to use them 🤷🤷🤷

Like the look of that nick, reminds me of the old jpm electro was it red arrow?

I'd like to see a pic of the internals anyway as I do find these electro machines fascinating. Let's hope the fella comes up with the goods.🤞

very familiar! I made one up for someone to help them that had one missing, it was temporary to prove the machine worked, it did and nothing more was ever heard about it! this was my veroboard version lol April 2013, temporary was permeant lol (another thing i never got any money for doing)
