Aaarrggghhhh...another question, this time Dongles

[Nibsy78]

Ok so whilst cleaning up my new pachinko, I noticed that only 2 have dongles. I had seen all the machines working but guess the dongles were swapped from one to another as I think you need one to run the pachinko properly? So where can I get new/replacement basic dongles from and will they work on each machine or... I have one without a back and it looks pretty basic, a capacitor, resistor and something else I can't quickly identify. So can I get these parts and make a some new dongles up myself that will work with some neat soldering? Think that's going to be another job on the list of things to do.
In advance, thanks all for your help. You'll be sick of all my questions soon.

to be honest i know members have listed the parts to make a basic dongle.. also members have sold there unused dongles once they have upgraded..

but if your going to spend a few bucks... spend a few more and get a Daverob dongle.. there great, once ya have one ya wont play without one

test them all first, Some machines will work without dongles. So don't worry yet,
You can get all the bits to make one from Maplins.

Daverob makes the best dongles as they re-active the parlour buttons on the front
His website also shows how to make the basic dongle with all the parts and correct values for resistors and capacitors.

Here's a link to a post containing some videos explaining how the CRED or "daverob dongle" works, just in case you haven't seen it yet

Just had a look at Daverob website and it has loads of great information .

Just ordered three more sets myself... Awesome because they allow for longer stretches of play without excessive manual ball handling.
