Here's where the Repochs are at. Ive had a few 1am Stints this week, X3 finished yesterday and up and running so far... It's really satisfying from playing these 20years ago, to actually building some boards- it's like going full circle. The end two Rom sockets are currently left off... I want to make sure I'm happy with my RAM selection (low consumption + 0.2v higher memory loss trade off) Spark detection circuit currently off... its there to reset the boards so it's not needed at the moment. RJ45 and RS232 connectors left off...its 2023 these are as useful as a coaxial TV aerial. Can't really justify purchasing and fitting them. The green Dots are the IC's I've had to harvest from an original Epoch board. Spartacash is fresh in for this project and its not serviced yet...looking forward to playing it and I'm looking forward to trialing the last 2 boards. 20231208_205643.mp4

Made some progress this evening. Dan came round with the cleaned and serviced reel deck. We re installed the reels and the machine still would not run. We found that if the orange wire is disconnected the machine will allow test mode to be run. Different tests can be selected with cancel and then selected by the start button. Good to see the lamps illuminating in order, the solenoids firing. (Except one that needs looking at) then the reels now move nicely in test mode. Either rotating through all positions or individually stepped. Here’s a video of the test. The problem is that the orange wire for interrupt is not working correctly. Any help or ideas would be appreciated!

Hello, i am New here. A friend of my has an old bfm voyager But does not work. I am trying to fix it and do some research, so i came here on this beautiful site. Greetings from holland.

Hello forum members. I'm here to introduce myself as an enthusiastic lover of old-school Bally electro mechanical slot and pinball machines, in the past I used to collect machines of all types, repair play and pass on these include video games units including the original pub tabletop Space Inv, Asteroids by Universal (1977) which where mainly used as stools and turned up broken with bent legs, looking like they had downed 50 pints and a sun kissed smoked stained yellow as they where on 40 cigarettes a day. I currently enjoy working on Bellfruit Scorpion board and sharing experiences! Thanks

I’d just like to clarify that nicks machine is called nifty nudge and niftynudger was not present having these io boards and pcb cage shoved in to him.😉
