Hi,
Can someone tell me what is involved in removing the payout machanism on a machine?
IE, what is done before a machine is sold to someone say from ebay, when it says the payouts have been disconnected, and how would I do that on a barcrest with an MPU5 board?

Thanks for any help.

why do u wanna disconnect it?. all u gotta do if ur selling a machine on ebay is just state in your listing that the payout is disconnected and ebay is non the wiser

[bobbybrown]

generally wondering thats all, trying to learn as much as I can about the machine, so if you know and would tell me, I would be very appreciative lol

thats an easy question bobby just disconnect the molex connector from the mpu5 board.

but bare in mind it will alarm if both top and bottom doors are closed

because it would reconise that the hopper is disconnected or missing

Is that all they really do when selling a machine for private use?
I thought there would be more to it than that

[lincs1]

well thats about it but they don't really disconnect the hopper before selling a machine on ebay. they just state in the listing that it has thats all. also they claim the coin mech is disconnected aswell which is aload of poppycock lol

[bobbybrown]

Fair enough.

Cheers mate.
