Go my hands on a Barcrest "cash bang wallop" machine, ex-arcade, not working with a nice bill validator in it. anyway, spent a little bit of time over the weekend and got it to work on Freeplay, but when in normal mode she would alarm all the time and not clear. While stripping out the mac...

Hi, what MPU is in the Boulderdash? not MPU4 by any chance? I'm having the same issue with the obstruction error on one of mine with an MPU4 in it. I too changed the hopper( as well as the coin mch, but thats another story) She then stopped giving the obstruction error and is now saying Call manger....

For the moment, I've bought a hopper controller on feabay, so I'll try that first, failing that then, I'll concider changing the MPU, but this started out as a simple enough coin mech job and has turned into a hell job. Who knows what could happen next. thanks for all the help so far, I'll let you k...

Up the Lilly Whites!!! Kildare me old son. 25 cent 25 Euro 78% but sure that can always be changed :wink: Yeah, it's a pity she wouldn't bring one back, I know of a few in Monaghan coming up for sale soon, I've even put my name in the running.

Check all the plugs and wiring from the hopper back to the MPU. With the payout tube the coins will have to be above th...

Anyway, stripped it out, positioned it correctly and also resetted the spring as it was not sitting properly. Which spring do you mean? Is it the type where the weight of the hopper presses a switch down against the resistance of a spring when the level is sufficient? No, the spring is the one that...

Previous owner or someone else had the hopper unit out as the payout side was not facing the tube to direct to front of machine. Anyway, stripped it out, positioned it correctly and also resetted the spring as it was not sitting properly. Now machine accepts and diverts coins correctly, I win a few ...

Hi All, just thought I let you know how I fixed the alarm on the MPU4 Lucky strike machine I have. I downloaded the MPU4 manual and found a pinout diagram for the main connector to the coinmech. Using this I disconnected the wire from the block that on the newer mechs is present, but on the older me...

Hi All, Hoping for some advise and help please. The above machine as an older version of the 126 cashflow coin mech, that accepts older coins. I want to use either a newer version 126 or a C435A coin mech. when either of the new mech's are in the machine i'm getting an alarm of 5P SW ALM and the mac...
