I think at this stage i would looking to try and get both mpu`s on a test jig to confirm or not wether they are working on all inputs and outputs, as Bob said there is no documention for these add ons and unless you trace every wire out manually you are shooting in the dark somewhat. You could have a faulty mpu that will work in one machine and not in another. Dont give up on it, i know how frustrating it can get.🙂

No other mpu4 machines Nick! I will try another hopper disc, I'm guessing I should see 24v at the hopper permanently and it's switched on via the relay? If so will check on that too. Thanks Ronnie

Hi Ron, so the way you describe the fault as a pound jammed in the opto would also be a faulty hopper opto. It could be registering the Jam as is its simply never seeing the infra red LED. When the £1 passes it breaks the infra Red LED 'beam'. If the LED is never there its always stuck like a Jam. As I say if any of the plugs ever go on wrong in the hopper the opto LED will frazzle.

Ronnie if you have any other mpu4 machines you can try your mod4 s in those perhaps ?

This is something I come across all the time ie lack of documentation on how later additions to a tech are not available. The only way to get to the bottom of these things is to trace out all the associated wiring and document it, at least then others can cast an eye over it and perhaps make more informed suggestions. I do find this fascinating as I've never worked with hoppers (all too new ). I'm sure you'll crack it Ronnie. Bonne chance as they say in France.

I do get that outlook, but without parts - all I’m doing is offering an empty fucked shell which I now need to keep dry, and be around for it to be collected. With all the dreamers and timewasters out there, it’s dead time and effort. I’m very very busy most days, out and about; not just machines 24/7. Last thing I want is to be restricted (likely in middle of day) to give something for free, with a strong possibility of a no show. However, I do always notice a weird trend…. Here’s an example. A FREE EMPTY CAB - people act like flies round shit. A complete cab, with £300 of parts inside - listed for £300, ….. much harder. Find the logic 🙈 I have given away empty cabinets before, but when they’re this rotten, and so little desirable it’s a different story.

I love it Ron, what a fantastic job you have done 👏 I need to give mine a bit of love as well, when I get the time! fancy doing another one 😅

Let's hope they haven't gone to the bakery
