First session of the year on Cops n Robbers... Got Informer nearly straight away... I didn't get to many out in the wild back in the day..😆😆 20210314_145602.mp4

Great minds think alike.

Don’t that sound nuts played one 35 years ago!!

Thank you Ron As always your information on these old bell fruit is just fantastic Ron . I will go through your list and make sure all the above are as you say they should be and report back. This is my first Bell fruit so lots and lots to learn. Fantastic Ron very much appreciated 👍👍

Gotcha!!

This was in one I have, it did have the 14k cpu card which was the last cpu card they made and it never looked changed in its life so perhaps the I/O REV4 assy no 045133 may be the last version???

Don't know RIch. It would appear the later types (with 2xLEDs) are rev 3 & 4. I've not seen any later than that but as we all know that doesn't mean there aren't some lurking out there somewhere?

🤣 both are a good solution 👍

I've got a shed load of 1N4007s, that's why I use them!

1N4003 will be fine, its only to stop any back emf in the reel motor so as to stop damaging the driver chips 4003 is 1A at 300v so will be well good enough to stop the 12v back emf, 1N4007 is 700v rating but still 1A

True but I've got a shed load of 1N4003's so I was hoping that's what they used.

Didnt knkw where to trurn as just bought the machine, started it up and worked for 10mins then turned it off. When turned back on 10mins later had the message and on mpu5 unit has 6 green flashes followed by 3 red dont know what to do ahhh

Nice one Richie on bagging this looks a goodie! Look forward to seeing it up and running with a video on your YouTube channel 🙂👍 ......Hold on does this mean you own a machine? 😆

You should work for missing persons on commission, everyone would be sniffed out and found in 12 months

Just amazing knowledge on these electro mechanical machines, just fantastic.

Yes I did. Added a few more wants to my list as well. Reel2Reel. Ready, Steady, Go. I've put Grab The Bank on the back burner, fetching more than I want one right now.

Played it before around 35 years ago, a cross between MPS and sys80 if I'm not mistaken, did love the gamble on these though. Another rare machine turns up eh, wonder what else will 😉

Looks good Ron,are the clutches leather on this are just reels sandwiched between 2 metal washers.what is your method of making sure the correct reel goes with the correct board.

Its the reel index solenoids and their associated parts. Remove the solenoids and clean the plungers and the coil inserts. do not use any lubricant when fitting back as that will make them stick. There is a small hole in the top of each solenoid, Make sure that is not blocked as must be kept clear. Check the solenoid springs are not broken and have enough to push the solenoid plunger down when released. they tend to get squashed over time.. finally remove the lift arms, there is only a spring clip holding them on, clean the brass bush and the shaft it fits on, you can use some grease to lubricate that part.
