Rio De Carnival & Cherry Masters?

[Harleybum]

Greetings to all!
I have not been on in a long time. I was thinking of getting a "Rio De Carnival. They look interesting. Are they as good as they look? What is a good price on one? Thanks for all inputs in advance.
Cherry masters...
Anyone playing with these? I bought a PCB off Ebay, was *VERY* easy to convert a dead videogame upright into a full function machine (for home use).There are many with interesting bonus rounds, a lot of them emulate a 3,4 or 5 reel slot machine. The others are 8 line or 9 window games.

Thanks fellow Pachi's!

I loved playing the Cherrymaster machines, we had about 25 slot places in Bradenton with cherrymaster machines.

but, the sherriff's office shut them all down last year

Very nice! I have a "Magic Bomb" saddam/Osama version, a Olympic5 and a Animal Bonus 2003 now.I built them with a "Credit button" and no bill acceptor
They are a lot of fun. There are a lot of places you can get nice wiring harnesses for a good price on Ebay.Will be glad to post the vendors if needed

On the "Astro" boards you can set them VIA on-screen switches. I usupect the Subsino PCB's are the same.Set the Coin in to 1=500 credits.Use a pushbutton behind the door.Set it to NO coin out and yes to Key out.Set it to NO hopper or tickets.You should set up a switch for key out, so you can reset the credits counter.The new boards have internal accounting, they keep track of ALL winning combinations, so you can get an idea of what it is doing.
You can set the minimum amount of "credits" in to 8 and a max of 240 or so.They are very flexible.
