Hi everyone, it’s been a while. Time for a new project, tipped off by a neighbor. It was listed on Facebook Marketplace (Netherlands). A Bellfruit Full House; there was only a photo of the front, but you could see the damage to the artwork. Asking price: €20. Naturally, I couldn't pass it up. This machine needs a lot of love to get it looking good and playable again. Fortunately, the machine is complete; the instruction sheet is inside, as are the build year and serial number.

Started removing rust from various parts of the Reel today; disassembled the motor... but immediately spotted a problem. It clearly hasn't been looked after; there was hardly any grease inside. There is a worn bronze bearing, and there is significant play in the output shaft (can this be ordered? Otherwise, I'll have one machined). I'm not sure if the output shaft is supposed to be like that, though. Fortunately, the gears are still in good condition.

Good afternoon friends, Does anyone know how to perform a RAM CLEAR RESET on a Maygay Triple M system? I have a Dutch Goldfinger Kassa without a manual, and the Triple M manual doesn't mention anything about it.

Lovely looking machine Marco! Can you take a picture of the MPU, is there a battery on the board?

If you operate the microswitch manually does it always give a credit? Let me know if you're struggling mate and I'll chuck a 20p mech in the post. 👍

Thanks, Dave 0138 and Zulzerned. It’s a lot of work, and progress is slow. Started on the reels today. Found black, oxidized contacts, seized bushings, and rust. Needed a lot of contact cleaner to scrub everything clean again. Tomorrow I’ll take the motor apart (but first, I’ll read through Ron’s thread one more time). I’ve taken reels apart before, but this is much more complex, and I don’t want to make any mistakes. Here are some photos of the process.

What a great project .look forward to seeing the progress

Nice find. It should keep you busy for a while.

Hello, my name is Victor French Collector, and my passion for collecting slot machines, jukeboxes, and arcade games started with an old ATARI jukebox. I’m also passionate about vintage chip technology, like the TMS or the 4004. As I explored these worlds, I discovered the Ace Coin Equipment machines from the Series 100, and I fell completely in love with these models. i love making Dump of ICs and Manuals/ Schematics Redraw. i m also a good member of MO5 Assaciation of old french Machines preservation.

the sequence is, coin inserted, the weight and tip checks coin diameter, thickness and slows the coin down to then 'bounce' on a dividing plate to bounce towards the credit slot, or the reject slot if the coin is to light in weight. careful adjustment is all that is needed, unless the mech has been butchered to just let the coin drop straight through! then your need to source a new s10 mech

Hi fellas. Has anyone ever stripped an Eprom? I sware I've heard a rumours someone did it once on here? Ive picked up a machine and the sound eprom is fried. M27c801 (epoch) global Operation Club. The Rom file has never been uploaded as far as I can tell. The programmer just errors with a +vcc pin error... I guess its probably be fitted backwards at some point. I can see the internal +vcc bonding wire is broken through the quartz window- My question has anyone got a nice technique for getting the quartz out!?!?

I believe I used a 'carpenters pincers' either side on the top section, the aim was to like pop the top off! but luckily it broke off the way it did and all was good! thats the only one i have ever done, never had the need to any since

Evening all, I have been wanting a s&g for a very long time! I have a tuppenny cracker which I can convert back, I have the top glass also, I'm now on the hunt for a bottom glass, small side glass, program card, and reels / reel bands, I would love to get this one rebuilt, to add to the collection. Is anyone in a position to help please? Let me know Much appreciated Mike

I've got x4 more repochs 3/4s built. Currently busy with some other projects at the moment though buddy.
