My mpu3 frames are away getting done in leatherette matt, that's all they had! So I will need to coat them with clear laquer once done

Thanks Rich, yes it all helps mate, maybe like everything else the prices have gone bonkers!

£7.20 for 10 bulbs Rich! That's dearer than Rue where I found 100 for £40?

Cheers Rich will have a look, and yes if I populate 1 of the 4 channels with bulbs they light but stay on? So not sure if that's a fault or if it will come right with all bulbs in 4 channels? Cheers Ronnie

I'm restoring some old arcade signs with running harper lights round the out side, I need 64 bulbs, they are bloody dear! cheapest I found were for a 100 and that was £40 plus vat and carriage making them £55. Anyone know where to buy cheaper or have any to sell me? Cheers Ronnie

Ah not Johns then? I though he was too cheap!

Bloody bargain John! Have you won the lottery?

Cheers Ron, I will give that a bash

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Ron, the Cs21 was on the wrong contact, swapped it over to the other lug and light is correct now. I toggled the switch with 3 wires on the reel deck and will see what happens, I might need to live with payout issue Cheers Ronnie

Thanks Ron, should these be wired N/C or N/O? I suspect N/C to switch lamp on when timer not rotating. Looked at the switch on the reels with 3 wires, the spades are secure, so not sure on the payout issue or how to troubleshoot. Thanks Ronnie

Thanks for this Ron, will try and find Cs 1 on control timer and Cs21 on the payout timer and make sure the switches are good, I have replaced all the spades on the timers I'm sure I put them all back correctly Cheers Ronnie

Thanks Ron, it seems to pay a 10p coin for all wins I have had, oddly it paid out 2 x 2p coins for I think 2 pears and a star! I will look at those switches on the reels, not sure what switch is what as the labels must have fallen off, I noticed the reel deck also has 2 relays fitted? The insert coin light I'm not sure how it should behave? It comes on when I insert a 10p coin while the counter is pulsing credits or whilst the 2p slider is pulsing then goes out when the lockout coils energise? Cheers Ronnie

Well I picked up an mpu2 board on ebay for peanuts a couple of years ago, but I live in hope of getting a machine to put it in!

I have to admit I no longer have a BB machine! But should one come along I have what looks like a nice spare. I opened it up as the 2 test switches were broken off, so I replaced those, also a case mounted resistor had it's wires broke of, the wires were brittle with heat, I replaced those, this one does not have the ram board with battery so no damage from that, all else looks good and chances are it could be a worker. Another tech to try and find along with mpu2?

I will do a video too as soon as I extend the very short power lead
