Most of my fading memory would be focused on machines, I had good times on. Namely JPM's in the early 80's, then Crests, back to JPM's in the 90's and Crests again until 2004. My memory starts on late EM machines with 50p jackpots, way upto 25 quid Maygays and JPM's. I'm sure there's a lot of folks who remember the classics, but not so much the test machines. And that can be tricky. As they were sited in random places, and recalling them isn't easy Example Maygay EPOCH machines such as Monte Carlo or Bust, or Maximum Overdrive (4 reel AWP) both 15 quid. BGT Millenium Bug. Those I can recall, as I played them a lot Then there was a Maygay EPOCH that had shields, 5 line win, 10 quid jackpot. It was a medieval theme. Seen it at Thomas amusements in Leicester Same place had an ACE machine (same cabinet as Pot of Gold) Called "5th Dimension" Black reels, with hidden fruits, that glowed. Quite unique. Also had a Barcode feature Random stuff like this, still floats around my head Statto

Not sure if I like the taste of humble pie or not but I did have a large slice today. I eventually found that one of the data lines was low and looking on the solder side spotted a bridge between pins 19 and 18 on IC4. Don't know why I didn't see it before as I always check with the microscope after putting in sockets. Not sure what's on pin 18, it's not mentioned on the diagram but with the chip in it brought the whole thing down. Of course I did start with the serial I/O chip first which was blameless but hey ho that's life! Now it all boots with IC4 in I'm happy, well sort of as there's now two segments not being driven on the 7 seg display.Roll on tomorrow.

Nifty fifty’s were converted super silvers that’s probably why it’s not on the list.

The battery runs the pic, even when not connected to the mpu5 or any other power source

This is the only machine advertisement from 1984

That's gotta be the strangest request I've ever seen on The Mecca!

I'm going to spend as long as it takes to get it right Nick. I've been an engineer all of my working life and firmly believe that if a job's worth doing, it's worth doing right. I hope I'm not going to live to regret those words

Nothing in the dat for that epoch game so it will be missing the sound roms i would imagine.
