ffs get a room you 2 ha ha bff's

Yeah I suppose,what did you get for your fifth a chainsaw?

Mummy mummy for my fourth birthday can I have a 240v electro mechanical fruit machine? Of course you can little Johnny.

I had my first machine when I was 4. It was a mechanical machine called "Monimat". Was German. I have my first Microprocessor when I was 10 "JPM Top Streak" so i count that as my first purchase. So 31 years

Possibly one of A.F.D.( Automatic Fruit designs) club electro's before they went into liquidation in 1979. Their earlier machines started with credit counters in the top glass so has to be a later model. It has the same cabinet, style of game and relay bank as AFDs previous Club electro's. Trying to keep up with other manufacturers they had trouble developing their own MPU and cancelled orders mostly from abroad which left them stuck with 200 none U.K. machines in stock and over £300 thousand pounds of raw materials and no current production model at the time that put them out of business. So with plenty of stock cabinets available, If not their own build then one of their base machines with a rebuild from another company.

Hey everyone. I am Henri, 49 years from Holland and i'm on a mission to ressurect as many Dutch BFM,JPM, Barcrest etc machines as i can ! I buy them, (try to) fix them, play them ( get into their AI hahaha ) and then sell them again. I have a mancave in my garden with these machines, a PS4 racing simulator with steeringwheel, seat etc and offcourse some good speakers for background tunes. At this moment i have the SuperFlushSE, Oracle and JPM Goldenstreak. For this last one i am looking for a new motherboard. The one thats in it now looks prestine, thats the strange part, battery located next to mpu, but the reels are not working correct. Changed them out but same issue. Reel 1,2,3,4 centre correctly and reel 5 and 6 end up 1 step later then centre (?). So if anyone could help me out with tips or even an Impact 3 mpu that would be great !!!!

for a pic of the SP-ACE mpu, see here...

alpha is driven by the lamp board, if its a mk2 the actel chip can blow but that results in no displays will work, usually the chip blows when the alpha is unplugged or plugged in with the power on, not known a epoch to blow the alpha though!

I did buy this one a couple of years ago, and still have it, I bought it for the high voltage transformer but it was not the same as the one I wanted at the time, so this just got stored! just seems to be all the knobs missing and broken trim on the right hand side, and no handle! never thought about getting it back working as if I did there would be no chance of getting the knobs for it!! This has the full size CRT screen

It’s a SP ACE audio and lamp expansion card

does say ace coin at the top of board and also eprom 1 and eprom 2 is a give away

Its a maygay m1b simpsons,Now ive been thinking about this and i think im attempting repair from the back.This may avoid damage to artwork that i deffo dont want.I have a plan now and its going into action

nope, as long as the pin missing is in the same place

It was mechanical, not electro mechanical ;). That would have been silly wouldn't it

Rev c I meant lol

indifferent

Looks like BFM to me. Possibly an after-market conversion.

Be nice to know who made it

I have never seen one.

Artwork looks really good and love those round buttons .

Needs back converting Steve 😉😁 rare find and only the second or third one I've seen .didn't they convert these in sru cabs too?

Good thing with these is provided no one has messed with it they will work.At most a micro switch or sweeper will pack up,but peice of p to trace and fix,my peter simper,cost 40 quid,been stood since 1985 and it took me a few hours to make it work fully.I would have them all but just dont have room,shame they are so big

be care full that you dont pull the art work off with it

Nice

Well I now have 2 super cobra machines. 3 if you count my back. Picked this up last night. Had to be lightning quick at my age. Not sure what I'm going to do. I will get it working and see 😉
