BarCrest "Gold Strike" Early 80's machine No Power when I plug in it (Switch it on) it fuses the main house fuse box please help!

I’m a young aspiring amusement engineer who has a history with pc building and repairing, I currently run a on site repair service in norfolk/Lincolnshire. I’m happy to help if there’s any problem I can help solve. Glad to be part of your community!

Good luck with yours, MPU4 definitely has a battery, I found that in the hunt for the spec of an Astra IO3 lol. I've cleaned the board up and it looks ok, run the multi-meter around and the tracks all seems fine, battery is gone and I've soldered on a couple of breadboard leads ready for the battery (battery is ordered and should be here Thursday). Playing the waiting game now and hopefully this will fix the issues, if not I'll be spamming here again as out of ideas after this Next is doing something with the coin mech to take newer pound coins and removing the bottom box to turn it into a bartop fruit machine. Ooh I can be reading up on the coin mech while waiting for the battery!

Agree 100%. Has it been in cold storage? When did it last work. Does any lights come on? Has it got a prom cart fitted? Post pictures so we can work out where to start.

If its tripping your electric you will have an issue with PSU to Board fault. First I'd check the lead that goes from the PSU to the board. White plug,bottom right of the board. Check the top 2 pins. If the plug is scorched then there's the start of your fault. Unplug psu from the board and switch on to see if it trips your supply.

Hello Robbie, Sorry I can’t give you a 100% straight answer as I’m fairly new to boards ect. However it does look correct hopefully someone with more experience will give you the Thumbs up 👍🏻 shame about the battery leak! I have a mpu4 board I need to check to see if there’s a battery on there 😞 why they put these things on there I have no idea 🤷🏻

Think I found the answer, reading it on a battery in another "IO3 repair board" thread, seems to be 2.4volts? Will this one work, second opinion would be welcomed VARTA MEMPAC - 2V80H 2.4v NI-MH BACK UP BATTERY PCB Mount 2xV80h | eBay I'll fly mount it of course.
