Thank you, yes but the cat has moved on now and discovered doors, how it can be comfortable sat on top of a 38mm wide door i do not know (strange thing). Yes i have the cash boxes thanks, it did come complete which is unusual for a machine of that age, even the keys. 😀

Maygay - Living in America Tech M1 - Rom revision 1.1 Its time to nip over the pond for a trip around America with this rare machine from Maygay. Some say it's very rare machine and some say it was a failed test, whichever it is I have no idea. Thanks goto: Wizard (RIP) for MFME M1ajay for the roms and flyer. Living In America.zip

Hi , The new roms have now arrived and just tested in my machine and seem to work fine 😁

Thank you for the fantastic layout.

All finished now and ready to go in my small arcade room. As you know through the earlier posts i have sorted out the mpu faults and got it all running. I also fitted new bearings to the reel deck in the end and converted it to take the new-new 10p (adjusted the mech, removed the magnet and fitted a new payout tube), and it still uses tokens. On a side note i could not believe the mpu still worked as i had it in pieces so many times whilst doing the schematic. All that was left to do was sort the cabinet...... Removed the old base which was glued and screwed on (bitch), built and fitted a new one...... Filled and sanded the top and sides, several coats of pva in the (weetabix) T moulding groove ready for new moulding. Glued a cat to the top of it 🤣 Also moved the token refill keyswitch from the top to the bottom front (god knows how many pints were lost down the back of the machine in its life). Replaced the old flourescents with led lights. Then fitted vinyl wood effect to the top and sides and new t moulding (i know the stick on vinyl is not very hard wearing but it is not going to be abused) Finished!!!!!!!!!

For anyone reading this in future, as stated above by MattyL. I swapped the very end red pin for and placed it in the next available empty slot (next to the grey on my picture). Issue solved. Thanks all for your input.

The PSU sounds like an ultra sonic cleaner! The fans seem to fail. My take is its just general case air movement... its not like a proper heat sync or critical exhaust fan but is beneficial obviously. Both power supply types can be used. You just have to unlatch the end red wire crimp and move to a spare 12v. I still think you might have another problem. I'd at least expect it to start booting. If you can use a multimeter you can measure the 5v while connected to the machine. If it dips bellow a threshold voltage I forget what so im going to guess at 4.8v-5.2v (Sega) the Scorp4 will keep reseting. Needs to be connected to the load (machine).

I think you have another problem because of the noise. Can you confirm its defo coming from the supply and not the speaker? Unserviced Scorp 4 machines in 2026 will probably have a leaking battery on the main board which most people diagnose as a power fault, so take a look at that. Film the noise if you can, I've never know a scorp 4 supply to be humming personally- x2 seems very strange/interesting. Looking at your loom, if there is a power supply mismatch- its not the destructive way around. Ive seen machines with the wiring the same as yours and with the later supply it usually manifests as something like no power to the reels... Defo shouldn't be humming.

Thanks for the pictures, will be great for emulation purposes. I can dump the ROMs for you if needs be.

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