Well the bad board I repaired and was working on 27 December has now been running non stop since then and is still running now! Using of course the test software and my mk1 program card board!! So I am now quite convinced the board is now a good runner and will stay working!!!

dont want anything for them . if for any reason i am out i will leave them on the little stool right outside my front door mate help yourself

If you want these come get them

VERY good!!!

My hat comes off to anyone who tackles a m1 board and succeeds.well done to you all.

possibly, I found the earlier version I made very useful hence the adaptation for this new version, for me it is easier than using a program card and changing the plug for a right angled one. I thought the logo fitted well when i did it on the earlier board lol it is in the copper layer too! it was to see if it worked, it is on the back of the pcb too

Trying some impact in blue now that have some SMD components designed in to make them cheaper, I think making them blue solder mask really makes them stand out!

While the place that makes PCB's has a good offer on small boards I have decided to re-design the small rom card I did back in 2015 so it has handy visual indication of the reset line status, and watchdog control with visual indication on it, its going to be in black solder mask this time! this should help when it comes to faultfinding as visual indicators are always good! Its now in pcb production!

Been cleaning buttons today and found a damaged one,so it not hold lampholder in.On this machine the threaded bit is separate and pushes in,anyone got one please.

thanks for the offer ben.many thanks rich.i can sort it now.

Thanks alot for this.

Thank You

Ya that’s true I’m surprised bet com got away with that

Yes as other board works. The switch is perm made. Go to switch test and you will see. Copy this video. The lose lamp shows the refill switch. I bet it's lit all the time. If so unplug the switches at the MPU and if still lit then 100% MPU fault. jackpot switch test.mp4

heres my lastest one, 3 hours yesterday morning just over 2 hours tonight usual broken tracks replaced u30 that had gone still no boot had ashort cut u40 off power legs of u26 u41 and u43 then it booted on bench, in machine reel 3 and 4 dead then stopped booting cut u16 u15 u17 off booted again on bench replaced them worked but top reel and middle reel out of line and bouncing back out again another broken track between u34 and u16 put atrack on back direct , the tracks ive put back where orginally not quite as neat as andrews but does the job just waiting for abattery then i'll put r42 and d27 back and try with battery but other than that it works o an it wants acap on the ram

lol ! lock it away somewhere ! just one more thing to do to it and that's to replace the pin with a new one on the reel motors connector to stop any burn ups in the future! this has been the worst for corrosion damage on the pcb tracks I have done! with all the new parts too it has not been a cheap board to bring back to life, and as for time such a lot has gone into this, now if only I could get it down to 1 or 2 days and charge £100 plus for repair I would do them full time lol!
