Anyone with Tombraider - Can you check something for me plz

[Akastaff]

Could someone with a working tombraider let me know if when the machine is powered up and ready to have tokens inserted what the status of the LED's on the mainboard in the back off the machine, above the reels are... There are 8 in a line, 1-7 light when a button or the lever is pressed...the right most LED 8... Is this constantly ON or OFF ?

Trying to figure if the 8th LED indicates power ON or indicates an input is stuck high.

Thx

That is excellent...Many thx..Was worried an input was stuck high but that confirms it is working as should...now just to figure how to get credits onto it without the mech...why they cant just do it with a simple switch beats me :-)...Trying to find coinless solution or someone who has the code for the PIC chip

Do you know the model of the coin mech... might help narrow the search... Thx.

Thx Wayne at least I can see the sensor order etc. Cant believe how hard it is to get parts for these..having worked in the arcade machine industry for 30 years i can still get NOS stock for stuff that passed away last century...but cant find parts for a 2006 machine...tis a cruel world and frustrating when the machine looks to be in good order bar the missing mech.

Well sadly, unlike arcade games, almost All pachis are sent to pachi heaven (landfill/recycler) after a few months of use..so easy to get spare parts just don't exist for us..

[Akastaff]

Time for an Archaeological Dig in Japan me thinks... Anyone know some big landfill sites :-)

[luckydog]

we have seen pictures and videos of pachi recycling sites, its not a very pretty sight to see

[Akastaff]

Getting addictive though LOL, just bought a Terminator and got another 4-5 lined up...now just need to shift 10 or 20 of the arcade machines Ive got to fund more :-) and if the TR I have has taught me one thing...I can probably fix these type of machines, bar the odd custom IC there pretty straight forward electronically.

[Drunkenclam]

Join me in buying newer ones from Japan This country needs new stock

This was my last machine here

Bidding with FromJapan - Page 2

I hope to order the ToHeart2 machine next week for my birthday

[Akastaff]

Always interested in a bit of a deal :-), have imported a lot of arcade machines from the US so no stranger to a bit of team buying.

Also just bought another TombRaider in working order...will be getting my scope out and find the timings on the sensors and will be dusting off my PIC programmer so as to make my other one coinless :-)

[Drunkenclam]

I don't mean as a business partner. I mean enlarge your search area. You can get machines for under £20 plus that killer called shipping in Japan.

[Akastaff]

LOL never had a business partner, nor ever will and dont deal in Pachislo... but buying a few as a group and sharing shipping cost is the way to go if want cheap machines.

[Drunkenclam]

Here's a good example of a world wide branded machine

Sold for approx £9.40

No I didn't buy it, because of Although i would have liked too

[Akastaff]

How much do they sting for shipping on a machine ?

[Drunkenclam]

Last one cost me £163 to ship

[Akastaff]

Not bad if can get a nice machine though def some bargains in the UK...So newbie question..whats the popular "must have" ones :-) ... Popeye seems popular ?

[luckydog]

Popeye would drive me crazy go for a theme you already like

[Drunkenclam]

Its also to what was shipped to the UK before 5 years ago, Lots of popeyes and Sinbads and Tomb radiders. Well any theme that we would know the name off. It always makes me laugh when people put Rare Star Wars Pahinko on ebay, Its probably the most common machine here

Oh the Playboy one above, seems to be all in English and plays Madonna songs during the bonuses Should have grabbed that for resale

[Akastaff]

UH OH, I'm hooked... Awaiting Delivery on TombRaider & Terminator and now just landed a nice deal for Popeye, StarWars and Sinbad :-) ... Should make a nice line up.
