    Default Lots of questions from a new Fire Drift owner

    Hi all,

    Brand new to the world of machine ownership and excited to tinker with it.

    Picked up a Fire Drift machine from a local classified site over the weekend and it has a few repairs / modifiectokns I would like to see happen.

    I have spent many years building various computer related things, so not afraid to get my hands dirty.

    Things i I am looking to do:

    1 - volume control. This appears as simple as adding a potentiometer onto the different speaker lines, or, in my case, get a three strange unit to do all three at once.

    2 - credit button. It appears that there was a gent my the name of Brian here who solid such a piece, but does not appear to be any longer. I have taking a look at the coin mechanism and it appears to be as simple as two proximity sensors or similar that must pass within a certain amount of time to register as a credit vs as a credit error. Can anyone tell me what type of part is used here? Also if you know what time timeout is before an error is displayed. I would like to crest a simple button for adding credits.

    Any info greatly appreciated, and I will always post any advancements I make along the way.

    Hello TheTrain and welcome to the group!

    Volume controls are a must for most of us it seems. Some do like the loud, louder, and ear splitting options
    The credit button is something I'm not familiar with but others will be along. Feel free to post some pictures as well, we like pictures

    One quickly grew to three and I now have a Fire Drift, a Viking, and a Space Cobra unit. The Viking machine is in the best condition of all, and needs no work.

    Outstanding issues:

    Fire Drift
    - Has a few burnt out bulbs
    - Front key was drilled out, made a mess inside

    Space Cobra
    - Most bulbs are burn out
    - One reel is a little off
    - No front key
    - Reset switch is just missing (?)
