Well Friday night after a few to many vodkas I got a message from a friend offering me this said it was in good condition and fully working so I thought why not so it arrived Saturday looked ok few scratches opened the back that's were the looks ok ended 😩 To start the tubes ( see photos ) only the token tube and 20p tube were present strange gets worse the £1 and 10p pay out units were missing as you can see white pipes in there place very crude but the pipe where the 10p tube should be it put the coins straight into the pay tray and when you collected you only got 20ps the pounds counted down but as no payout unit there nothing could pay out really why do you do that but that's not it upon switching it on it was dead except the token solinoid half pulsed but no light on the mpu so it wasn't a working machine then so I removed the mpu and yep a very rotten battery removed it but the board was damaged not really anywhere to re fit a new battery as the solider points were rotted away so I thought well this won't work again but gave the mpu a good clean with electrical cleaner put it back in the machine and just plugged the power supply into and by some miracle it lit up so I replaced the rest of the plugs and one fuse in the power supply and you can see the end result it worked took 4 hours to re wire and rebuild the pay outs and some other cosmetic work and that's the end result it only has one problem the token mech switches are dead takes tokens no credit and a tube sensor plugged in causes an alarm it's gonna be that mpu I'm lucky it worked at all so for the time being I've got it paying out 20ps instead of tokens for now until I sort an mpu and the coin mech just needs reprogramming just thought I would share was an interesting little project and a warning don't drink and buy lol 😩

Hi yes it's not a bad game been a while since I played one unfortunately I don't have any means to dump the rom but I can take some more photos they will only be from my iPhone do you need them lit or unlit thanks

Good evening everyone Please could someone help with the following.I was wondering if anyone has any good pictures of a Pcp machine called Gold bars on £4 jackpot and Masterspy £1.50 Jackpot as I would like to do a dx version of the machine, if anyone out there could help it would be really appreciated. Thank you Ginge

Hello everyone my name is Ginge, thought I had already introduced my self when I first signed up but doesn’t look like I did as I can’t seem to post anywhere else but here. I Have been a member on this site for a while now but have never really posted anything Until now. I am also over at Dif under the same name and have created 3 layouts to date Aladdins Cave/Alway Eight and Super Cobra and hope to do some more in the future. I find this site very useful for gathering resources for projects and there is a lot of interesting discussions that go on and hopefully I will be able to join in soon.

Cheers @Big J thought we we’re mates, takes one to know one 😉

hello and welcome enjoy your stay

Nice find loved this machine back in the day i see it’s the £6!upgrade any chance of a rom dump and some nice hi res photos for a dx please including the jackpot symbol thanks

Well I have fixed every one I have started on so far, so yes they can be fixed, but is it a worthwhile use of many many hours!! as for is that machine worth saving... my interest is just electronics it is not machines... unless of course it’s a red dwarf then I would make a exception !! 👍🤣
