A good 35 years or so since playing one of them, they use to have these lined up with other Jpms and Blackboxes, then all the £3, £4 and then £4.80's came in, a double decade of delight.

Also available in blue It seems? Anyone else remember them in blue?

Yes all fine and this was today’s addition

Sorry if this doesn't work. I'm new to pictures.

Rob, are you sure it's not ORG/RED? If so that should be the 10p cash sensor and it goes on pin 22.

hi guys n girls had a spare hr tonight so made a start on the box of roms, apologies but i have no idea what these are as they were picked out of a carpet of an operators abandened room lol they had arcade machines too hopefully something useful in amongst them cheers tony roms 12 11 20.zip

Nice one!

yes, the older board has a more robust alpha driver chip than the newer one with the poor ACTEL chip on it!

Here she is chaps. 1973 vintage Red Arrow. Loving it. I even managed a red arrow feature twice in this video

Yeah I like Epoch and once you have a few good sets of parts it's actually pretty reliable (better touch wood still though 🤣) Broken epoch machines are available from £0-40 I have picked up about 5 like that and it's the best way to accumulate spares cheaply. You do need a few good Mpu's too only off legit people. If it's listed untested but looks a ok it's probably broken. There's alot of epoch threads on here, I think there's a manual .pdf in the downloads if you donate. Lots of people come here trying to fix an epoch so everyone has already tried to help alot of people so it will be one you have to fix yourself. Put in the time and groundwork and there's no reason why you won't have alot of fun with it... It's a decent challenge 😎

Nice machine .Chris line up on here has an awp in this cab called red arrow with similar cash multiplier features .Nice to see another early jpm saved and a clubber too

Picked up some more fruits last week while we are all on lockdown

Cheap and decent do mix!! Just got to keep a eye out on eBay as they do come up from time to time, but you gotta keep looking!!!! They don’t fall in your lap if you don’t look!!

Brilliant machine. £1 jackpot. Is this one of Carousels old machines. They had about 4 of them up until last year. Think some of them have been retired now.

Try checking the socket, to see if the power and program pins are matched to a standard 2708, if they match the others on the board, good chance its the same, might be one salvaged from a used source that specified a manufacturers part number, rather than a normal eprom number, some do this to stop the circuit being pirated. It does look like that board could benefit from some IPA

Love your channel Chris

Any good? https://www.silicon-ark.co.uk/1k-ohm-carbon-track-preset?search=1k pot

Right here we go in the zip file are 2 folders one for SRU and one for System 80 there are also 2 files with some RS parts that i think match the originals.With work and other more pressing projects it went on the back burner and stayed there but now i hope this can help these boxes being re produced(not by me as i still don't have time). Don't forget these drawings are over 8 years old and i only had the boxes for a very short time(so they may not be 100% accurate) Test Boxes.rar

I forgot all about this and I have found some schematics and part numbers on an old usb drive(both SRU and System 80).i thought these along with loads of other files where lost forever when my hard drive suddenly packed up a few years ago. im not sure how accurate they are as I only had those units for a few days and just worked it out the best I could with a multimeter Plus it was years ago. i will upload what I have tomorrow.

So many thanks to (orchid) j for sorting thru artwork.. And Simon at apollo signs of giltbrook for printing it for me.. Overall I am very happy with the results Happy days

ive seen these type of takeovers in my professional life. i can just see JPM with R&D budget cuts, rehashing loads of ideas, tight schedules, quantity before quality and all the good staff leaving within 18 months. results = it’s JPM in name only.
