Back to the Old Skool with this classic mps/pcp game criss cross jackpot, similar to the former release, blue chip and twice is nice. But with a few quirk's to the gameplay Thanks goto Geddy for the classic released about 10yrs back or whenever it was the eBay Seller for the first image used and to the Mecca member whom bought the exact machine and uploaded a few other images including the reel decks so i nabbed the images for the bands tommy c and various members via DIF for font help Richy1976 for adding the payout effect to v3 you'll notice the £1 slot only accepts 50p's , i've tried various buttons but can't find the £1 input, hopefully this will be resolved soon but doesn't affect gameplay! Shortcuts are as standard Plays in MFME V19'6+ Enjoy and Happy Gaming!!! Criss Cross Jackpot £4.80 Dx v3.zip

Here's a fun video SWP type game from BWB called Time Bandit. Roll the dice, land on a Time Gate square, stop a year and progress around the board landing on a cash prize or ? and answer a Hi-Lo question or land on other various squares. Keyboard shortcuts in notes section of the emulator Thanks to Wizard for the emulator, and also thanks to the rom and image provider. Please use MFME v19.6 or later to play Time Bandit.rar

This is how the board looks now, I seem to have misplaced my 20 pin sockets at the moment so have been unable to complete the board! but then again there is no rush as it's my board!

April 1981..

Hi Guys Here is a little 80's treat for you. Thanks to Pete.w For the roms. Tommy C for finding the Logo Font family for me (desertislandfruits.com). Your very own Riche100, for kindly adding the enclosed Kicka flyer, which was the £2 predecessor of this. Dad for final testing (dadsfme.com) And to Wizard for making everything possible with the magical MFME:)) Have fun guys! Andy B Bouncer - JPM.zip

Nice one, thanks Vectra! Not seen one of these for many a year, will give this a blast.

As I mentioned in the introduction section I'm looking for any copies of the coinslot trade paper that used to come as a supplement in the Worldsfair paper. I just thought it may be worth an ask on here. I'm mainly after copies from the early 80's up to late 90's if anyone has any that they would like to sell or trade. I haven't got much fruit machine related to trade as I collect video arcade machines but I do have some Automaten magazines that have quite a lot of Fruit machine pics and articles in them (if you speak the language).

As I was saying this one is far worse! the main problem with this one is not the tracks are pitted and eaten away on the track runs, but where the solder resist stopped, exposing that tiny bit of copper track between the via ( or throughole) and the track under the solder resist! this is under high magnification Now the track STILL measured fine! but you can see how much thinner it is with being eaten away! I wonder how long this would last if it was left because continuity was fine!! needless to say a link has now been fitted to make it reliable in the future There are lots like that on this board to sort out!! this is going to take some time! most likely why it got put to one side all those months ago!!! more like it as you can see below These are what makes Maygay M1 a challenge! Miss just one and board won't work!!

Having a tidy up in the workshop I came across this M1b board I had started a good 6 months ago and then forgot about! so thought while waiting to find the sockets for the first one I would continue with this already started board! This one is in a much worse state! I have already taken off more components and have cleaned up the tracks, funny enough in all that time the copper tracks had not tarnished and was still nice and bright! This is how the board looks tonight after spending last night on track repairs and this afternoon so far, its no where near completion yet! closer view

These are the stainless steel pcb picks I have, mostly use the one on the left

Another 2 hours done just now. Starting to take shape now 🙂

Awesome cheers

Great news good fix mate

Yeah cheers mate. This time I did replace the bridge rectifiers also replaced the big 5v cap(cut it off) and smaller caps... also the did the diode too and the 5v fuse holder. Finished it at 1am last night.😎 It's back up and running now... phew. Totally sweating the board was ok!! It's the first psu I've done so I'm happy I need a spare though I'm not used to having so little spares. Hopefully I've got one lined up.

Thank you

I’d second that! Only buy batteries from reputable suppliers... RS or Farnell would be my choice!

Yes thanks to Ron ‘n’ rich the Mecca twins and there flyer protection racket.

Thank you mate :)

Many thanks to all involved in this 80's classic saved for all to enjoy.
