Not been doing much on the machine this due to waiting for the glass frames. They arrived back today but they never polished the scratches out prior to anodising! anyway it was free so I will send them back after xmas. I wanted to carry on with the build so I have started assembly of wiring and frame. I have also put some iron on edging on the front door and on the front frame near coin mech. I will do the other areas later. just a couple more pics. Thanks for following this build and hope you all have a great Christmas.

Here is the small bulb and lens setup that directs beam through reels on those Carfield's

Going by the manual they should be DIN 41612 type C connectors. RS, Farnell etc.

Love this,I had one for my birthday when I was 14.my dad bought it from nottm cost £60.it has a crown on centre reel that pays 5p.and any reel can be nudged once.the first ever nudge on a machine I think.it also has a bulb that shines through holes in reels to a sensor the other side.wow,takes me right back,hopper payout aswell.mine was 5p one play and 10p 2 play

I have added the mpu5 faut code pdf as i looked around alot for this myself and could not seem to find it MPU 5 fault codes - Barcrest-converted.pdf

Set on 10p play with the jackpot at £3 shortcuts and thank yous are in the notes. also a shout out to steve lancett for his brilliant you tube videos, which was a great help to me. GOLDEN SHOT.zip

Thankyou Hitthesix and Merry Christmas to you sir

Many thanks hitthesix.

I do still have the scorpion 1 test rig, and after reviving some great help from someone it had prompted me to have another look into this, what I discovered was I believe the program card I was using was f*cked and I had no idea!! So on some very good advice and program card identification I found I had a very sorry looking system85 card which is known to work on this rig!! yes it’s in one hell of a state!!! Very corroded, nothing rotted through but just in a not useable state! Gold coated pins were badly corroded too!! It’s really fit for the bin!!! so after finding the original connector is STILL available I set about the refurb and ordered some the solder on it was dreadful!! Very stinky of the usual rot and corrosion smell when heated, eventually the solder was persuaded to be removed and the pads were all re-tinned with fresh solder and solder wicked! the chip was fine so it also was cleaned, re-tinned and tested again! ( yes I know it’s a similar process to how the Chinese fakers clean the pins up, but I do it far more kindly than they do) around 6pm the new connectors arrived from Farnell!! Yes exactly the same part number so identical specifications to the original DIN connector! Its looking really good now!! to cap it all parts cost less than a fiver! Much cheaper than anything second hand on eBay and it’s all new!! I really appreciate the help one member on here has given me! Without your help recently I would not have touched this project at all at this time, possibly never! So Thankyou so much!! this whole test unit could live again!!

Loads of roms laying around. Some labelled some not. mostly useless to me. Any good to you people

I have this one that might be earlier than that one? Not sure if it has the lamp opto! It's been sat a good few years now

Lots of examples on here in various threads but unless you've got the eyesight of an owl you'll need a microscope or some magnifiers and a very steady hand. Once you've soldered the new wires you'll need some PCB solder resist to seal it all. Andrew96 has done some good threads on this (various techs) and it's easier to see the pics than try to explain it. Good luck Bob
