Right, recently discovered the site, while looking for something completely different, and it pushed me into repairing the  PSU on the above machine.

 

Its up and running as well as can be expected, few blown bulbs but nothing i cant source.

 

My google-fu is weak, as i cant seem to find a manual for it, so am loath to play trial and error on switches to change the settings.

 

its currently set on 10p/£5, but i have decals for £15 and £25 jackpot, and would like to set it to the £25 jackpot, with somewhere around 75-80% payout, as its a savings device (in therory...)

 

Obviously im new to the internal settings so im not sure which boards are in it, im happy to take photos for ID purposes if im too thick to work it out from any pointers

 

thanks in advance for any help.

it there a space for a % key?, you may need to buy a % key for that

Generic MPU5 tech manual or Genesis cabinet literature should tell you most of the information you need.

If thats a block with dip switches attached to the main board, its got one already.

yes, got a bank of 8 dipswitches in it, also a bank of 4 in the socket below it.

 

i found a table giving settings on this link: http://www.swallowam.co.uk/pckey.php which has worked, playing as i want now.

 

getting an intermittent alarm now though, so my PSU repair might not have been as good a job as i thought..

looks like the fuse holder for the 24v circuit has corroded, probably a new PSU im guessing, cos if the holder is this bad, the fitting on the PSU will be shot as well.

 

who do you recommend for replacements?

If I remember correctly it's one of the members here.

great, cheers for that. coincidentally thats who ive ordered my bulbs from, so good to know theyre recommended.

 

ive got a temp fix in place until i can attempt a proper repair on the fuse holder, not throwing anything else at me so time for a big test session

 

 

thanks for all the help, ill report on if its working properly after its had time switched on.

[calyx690]

ok after a fair amount of play, its all working fine.

 

I've made a proper repair on the fuse holder, and all the new bulbs are installed, so full working order and playing spot on to set % after ~£600 in plays.

 

thanks for the pointers in here, its appreciated.
