hi, i have just purchased this machine from a freind... first of all i dont have a clue about fruit machines because i have never had one... so i dont know anything atall

i only got a small but of information with it, i dont have a clue how to put it on free play,£5 play to £25 play , how to put the sound on..

also i have just been playing on it and it came up with some kind of error... so i switched it off and switched it back on and nothing has happend.. nothing on the screen etc.. but i know its not dead because i opend it up and on the back wall there are 3 green lights and a red light..


if anyone can guide me how to use this or tell me how to get it back on playing i would be very gratefull

& sorry about my lack of knowledge :)

thanks in advance...

for free play just keep the cash door open, and press the start button, should give you credits and play like a beast.

as for changing the stake it will have a key in it, normally a sealed plastic job, the colour depends on the stake/prize, we use a key with switches that lets you change the prize dpending on switch settings.

depending on the machine/chip you might just get away with swappinbg the key, or it might need new proms.

as for getting it back on, if it has power, but no lights ect maybe a fuse on the power suply?

thanks for that


yea i just unpluged it from the wall and it come back on.. but it does it everytime i turn it off for sumreason

also , now it doesnt let me on cash play.. it keeps saying ask for manager etc.. i think its sumit to do with my tryin to press collect when theres no money init

also i duno how to put money in it i dont know if the main hopper is connected to play for real.. i havnt a clue to be honest..

any help would be great. oh and i have the sound working

i have the men in arcades pressing loads of buttons etc changing settings.. do you know how to get sum kinda menu up .. or if u know how to fill it up so when i press collect cash will come out of the bottom like in arcades

also when i play on free play it gives me £5 to start... and its boring because you win like £30.. and that wouldnt be possible if you put £5 on cash play i dont think..

thanks

to clear that you can just put money in the hopper ansd it will pay it out and clear the bank.

to do it with the door cklose youll need a refil key, you should have got one with the machine, it will have the number 87000 on it, put that in the key hole next to the pay out tray, and it shopuld say an amount, simply put the coins through the mech and it will not credit them.

the menu ppl play with will be the test menu, youll need the door open inside there wil be a button, proberbly with a sticker near it saying test.

although it might be on the MPU, a little red button, press and hold this for 5 seconds.

as for winning so much in test its always gonna happen im afriad, with the door open it just gives loads of wins and features so you can see what the machines like.

There may be a small block inside which is stakes and prizes key, it is either a coloured block ie. green or grey and will say what price of play and jackpot it is, alternatively it will a black block with 8 white switches on it, take this out and when the machine boots up it will default to allow you to change it to what you want using the hold buttons and start button.

Sounds about right. Depending on where you are, you may get anything up to £200 in a local paper. I think £150 is about right for a paper, on eBay probably £75>£125.

i can supply a proper stakes and prizes key for £25 25p play.

but

if the wire has been soldered onto the gamecard where the key should go then you will have to remove this first.

pm me if intrested.
