CASH BANG WALLOP alarming error
Posted: Mon Nov 24, 2008 10:45 am
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 machine to trace some cabling, I noticed that the previous owner had placed some foil over one of the fuse's (muppet) and this has resulted in signs of burning on the MPU, so I guess I'll have to strip it out and replace.
So, a warning for those getting an old Arcade machine, CHECK OUT THE FUSES......FIRST.
Not saying if I'd noticed it in the beginning that it would have saved the MPU, but I'll never know know.
Now back to my Ready to rock machine
