Next was the back door , the donor machine back door was not original I think it was from a jpm machine as it was a grey colour , luckily I had saved the back door from the original machine as it was not too bad and I thought I could use it at some point to make a bottom door up for another machine in the future , the only problem was the bump strips on the back were broken and the screws had rusted into the chip board so when I pulled them off they left big holes in the back of the door so I had to use some wider bump rails to cover the holes which I made up from door stop and stained black , I’m happy with the result 😁 that’s enough for tonight I will do some more reports tomorrow thanks for reading 👍

My winter project.A 1960 united model c.Ive had the model a now nearly 2 years.This is cosmetically good,though i may spray a few bits.Not currently working and not sure why yet,but the inside workings are same as mine,so that should help.Its complete and ive only just got back with it from oxon.

Check the mains lead and switch to the left of the hopper first, then check the fuses on the transformer pcb behind the top glass.

A UK supplier has the PIA EF68B21P also known as 68B21, 68B21P in stock currently and has more available to order when they run out of stock. https://www.cricklewoodelectronics.com/68B21.html I have ordered some for my MPU4. They say that they are the Equivalent Fairchild. Hope this helps anyone looking for them like I was

Looks good to me! Nice and tidy.

Wow just read thru your restoration, top job and a machine well worthy of doing so. One day I hope to have a line up, whilst I’d prefer the original MPU3 I do like the idea of an MPU4 👍 Great job, great reading thank you

Good find Dave, that’s one hell of a lot of corrosion 😕

Castles for the win but honorable mention to the MPU3 jackpots.

Self taught and I have blown a lot up along the way, and still learning every day!

Ok so ive up loaded the video to youtube now but the quality is not as good as the one on my phone not sure what I’m doing wrong ? Any way it’s not finished yet I’m still testing and got a couple of bits to sort but I thought I would do a quick 50 credit testing video and this is what happened I never caught it in this mood in the wild 😁

Well here she is all up and running! A big you to everyone who has helped me out on this one with advise and spare parts. A big thank you to Rob T for providing me with a 10p tube and sensor in my hour if need 👍 these parts are becoming more like rocking horse shit than actual rocking horse shit! I will put a vid up at some point, but jesus this one is tight, even though it is set to it's max percentage! On to the next one now, maybe a line up or I have a mpu4 supertubes to remake in a donor cab I have acquired! Haven't decided yet.

Well had a bit of time today! Managed to fit the new leds and they work an absolute treat, another job ticked off the list! 😂
