Hello all

I am a first time owner of a fruit machine - it is a QPS Crazy Fruits £5/£8 jackpot. Purchased off ebay and worked great for about a week. Then it started playing up - re-initializing at odd times.

Sometimes when a win occurred, other times such as 'killer tomato' so I guessed perhaps the power supply was on its way out. I did find a loose bulb in the coin mech (10mm wedge) which seemed to cure the problem for a while.

I am now back to my original diagnosis as the machine keeps rebooting when the sequence finishes and the lights fire up. I guess the initial current draw is shutting down the psu.

I could not find a similar Sanken unit anywhere via the web. I did find a newer Sanken unit (sps077?) listed as being OK for QPS/Maygay/Bell Fruit machines on ebay but when I plugged it in I kept getting 'reel 4 error 24' as a message.

I swapped the psu again and now the machine is working again (not sure for how long though).

Can anybody point me in the right direction please. I am mechanically minded but electronics are a bit ahead of me so please keep it simple.

Thanks for your help.

David

the stadium scorp 4 psu that he also has for sale comes with added fan mod which was installed to combat the resetting problem.

Stadium power supplies are rubbish at best.

Thanks Bazpeeb

The psu I purchased from ebay is a Sanken but a different type - SPS077W - +48v -- Is this not suitable or could it be faulty? If it just isn't suitable then I'll ebay it otherwise I will bin it to save somebody else wasting time and money.

Cheers
