Hi guys,I've decided to build myself another conveyor,I'm currently searching for the bits and have some already.i made 5 in 2010 but rarely come up for sale.this is scratch built Inc cabinet and even make my own payout mech.so who is interested in a thread following the build of this.

I have a new purchase arriving on Friday; The Penny Tumble. I've not seen one, but from the hazy photos it looks like a BFM console 3-ALIKE, with the later Action Line polished aluminium window frame superimposed. It's on sixpence play, but bizarrely, the front glass contains an unusual 'feature'. It forms an add-on 'dropcase' game, and inserting a penny at the top gives the player a chance to win a free play on the bandit! I can't wait to get on with this. It could be the 'missing link' between the Brewery-themed console machines, and the well-known New Penny arcade machine 'Action Line'. It MAY still have the Half-Crown acceptor, with tandem coin-switches for 1x play and 4x 6d. change!

Tiny update. Bottom Door made and frame properly back in with all lamp holders back in place. Seem To have 10 mins on this a month 🙈🙈

Yes please, it sounds interesting...

Hi chaps, Here's a tricky one. All you Black Box owners are aware of the battery backed RAM board that has to be fitted for certain games to work. Well reading some documentation there used to be a chip in position IC8 socket where the fly lead for the RAM board plugs in. This was a RAM chip which has the designation 9410? In the loading diagram for the board it's listed as 9410B. I've searched the internet high and low and I can't find anything that matches. The pin out is somewhat unusual as can be seen by the power pins on the diagram below. The chip that was fitted on the RAM board was a 74C910 which has a totally different pin out. This was a 64 word x 4 bit RAM. Anyone come across this chip in their travels or even know what it's full number might be? I'm also curious as to why the original RAM chip was used as it wouldn't have had battery backup! I was thinking of perhaps using any old 2114 chip on a daughterboard just for testing purposes but I haven't a clue what pins 5(VGG) and 6(EXT) are for although from what I can make out from the diagram it's a -12v feed???.

Should have checked here first really. Danno asked something similar :- https://www.fruitemu.co.uk/ib/topic/16636-eeprom/#comment-265702 I actually replied to it. Doh! Still there was no definitive answer so the hunt goes on.

I was watching that Penny Tumble and pleased it's going to a good home Colin. Yes much like Action Line with similar inner workings and like you say has that 1d old penny drop. The best part is it's still original and not been converted like most of the models from that era so, It has it's 6d or sixpence (2.5p) play mech plus it should still have it's Half Crown (two shillings and sixpence) or 12.5p in todays money coin mech. Bell Fruit built a version of Penny Tumble for Ansells brewery. I'm still on the lookout for an original Action Line which was also on 6d play, not the later converted 1p version
