Hi all. Been sitting on this for a while. Wanted to get it in a better cabinet but it's time consuming. Long story short, I always wanted to make my own fruit machine from being a young boy, so here it is. Excuse the cabinet, it's a proof of concept. It plays to (I think 80%). I based the hit rates of the original machine but had to make a few adjustments. I can give more details if anyones interested. Cheers P.S The sounds are recorded from the original machine but the speaker is a cheap wank thing.

Cheers louie I've spoke to a friend on here he lives near mouser hes going to pop and take a rom card to see if it fits ok

I can dig a board out. To be fair you are good. Your skill at track n field are better than your fruit machine buying skills 😉

@superbankloves em. Awful taste in machines bless him.

Looks like it came from Louth Coin...

I'm gonna empty all your machines. Shame you haven't got a Track & Field 'cos I'd beat all your records too!

Here's a video of where it began. Nothing special but had a reel doing something. I'll upload more video's of the various stages of achievements

It took a long time mate. Happy with results. Still needs more work. Next is saving data (hopper level, coins in out etc) with no battery needed. Already got it working. It will auto save all data when you switch off 😎

Nice work mate love the work that's gone into the internals... particularly how you are controlling all the I/0s perfectly.

That horrible cunt Superbank is coming round on Saturday. He’s not been in years. He’s collecting a DOND I picked up for him 🤣🤣

Just gotta love Superbank and Player taking the piss out of each other, reminds me of someone I chat to on the phone off the forums, it is cunt cunt cunty wunty bastards all the way😂

Very nice, great work you little cunt.

The next version will have separate control unit which you can remove easily

Just had the exact same issue and I fitted one of these & all working fine… https://cpc.farnell.com/vishay/gbpc2502-e4-51/bridge-rectifier-25a-200v/dp/SC11477?CMP=TREML007-005

Just ripped these. Don't think they are in the rom DAT. Think Gary said they are 20P play and all wins doubled (probs not JP) so checking out which port to switch to 10P play. 20p sru shuffle.zip

thinking a bit more back on this I did find something that looks something like it on paper but never got any further Check the EDAC 337/387 series part number codes https://files.edac.net/edac/content/series/og/English/EDAC 337 387 Series Card Edge Connectors English Ordering Guide.pdf You'll have to check if this will do... I haven't gone into detai for checking the part number 337-035-523-678 https://www.mouser.co.uk/ProductDetail/EDAC/387-035-521-678?qs=RcG8xmE7yp1sMNw68n1MJQ%3D%3D

The information ive been able to find out so far is its a single side 35 point card edge connector original part number varelco 6072 3618. Unfortunately I cant find much online datasheet wise only information ive found is that varelco was a company formed to support connectors for elco. Ive found this on ebay but unsure whether it would be suitable https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/274877262608?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=4sCoxgsxSsW&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=sL0CJFSqS56&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Thanks. I remember the storyline in Coronation Street. The glory days of Corrie, not like the rubbish it is these days.....good grief, I do sound like an old fart.

Yes, thanks for all that you do. Cheers!

I don't know how many connections there are on that card socket but ones that are similar are for the ZX Spectrum and there's quite a few places that sell them. I don't know what they are called but you can cut them to size if they are too big, if they're too short you're stuffed!

I didn't find anything. think you'll be OK with them as no green on the pins. Get them pins streightened in the lower plugs as they are a right pain to remove. Get the forks pushed together too Think I had a quote for them ant £££ riduciolous

Thank you.
