Dark rainy nights - time to check the machines 😁 …. As expected a few glitches, no lights on MPU4 swap-a-note so obviously PSU issue. Checked the 34v fuse that was ok, took PSU out and I had already replaced caps previously so I suspected bridge rectifier on 34v side but that was ok. Some hours later (literally lol) it was simply the link joint from top to bottom of board had become dry, a quick re solder flow and boom ! Back in action. I’be got a couple more faulty PSU’s on the bench I hope to finally look at later today too. Couple of pics, the old MPU2 hi-lights fires up every time sweet as ready to play in about 3 seconds. They keep us busy “keeping the lights on” eh folks (see what I did there 🤪) All other machines booted and working fine (for now at least).

That’s an eagle token. I know high street arcades used to accept them as 50p value tokens given out as promotions

No that display doesn’t look like it is correct!

you need to take the battery off so we can see the tacks under it all so that display looks to new for that board is that the right display never seen one of them before

you can never have to many spares you know that lol

Nice maintenance work there mart and yeah its prompted me to switch all mine on and check them out .theres always something to.fix !

thats it now martin we know where to send the broken psu now lol

Get rid of that blue Varta pronto!!

Well chuffed with todays delivery must be the best kept and original machine I have yet come across….. had to swap the MPU but looks a simple fix and rest working 👍 prices are defo easing IMO was all ready for a bit of a bidding war and it went for a steal Credit to last owner

I did hear that there was a big dip in the National Grid in the Birmingham area earlier....

Looks like this one is an IO board failure. Tried everything suggested but all check out ok (power, ribbons etc) to no avail. One other interesting feature is the game will engage the coin mechs and try to spin the wheels but then freeze and give the 09 code.. but after a set time will then spin the reels perfectly. If then left the machine will go into attract mode, allow you to coin it up with all the correct sounds but not allow any button inputs! Very strange.. hay ho.. logic time 😂

Is that czech? Send a pic of the board where battery is. Do you have any other machines with an alpha in? Send a pic of the alpha. Did you check the harness, nice n tight with a good connection, no rusty or dirty pins?

Check the pins are clean and tight. A dirty pin on the serial can cause issues. Had it plenty of times.

Im really grateful for your answers and I'll start to examine the board again more closely! Thanks!
