It's an Epoch MPU.
If that bank of keys is the DIP switches, I'm just telling you this from personal preference but I would do trial and error lol
If it doesn't disable single coin entry when you flick a switch, put it back and try again. Any other changes that could be made could be Stake/Prize(possibly), pub/arcade mode, the attract mode etc etc so hopefully nothing big.
Then again, it would be far less time consuming if you knew spot on what switch it was you needed to flick, so stick around...I'm sure someone will give you an answer:)

When you change the DIP switches you will need to reset the machine after each change for it to take effect.

And you may be able to change the % on the dip switches too, or maybe not. You may have to buy an adjustable % key if not.

You can only change the percentage if you have a switchable percentage key.If youv'e got one it will proberbly be red with 4 small switches on it.I think the only part of the percentage on one of these you can change with the dip switches is the odd percent e.g 78%-79%.

A switchable %age key looks like this: SWITCHABLE PERCENTAGE KEY FOR FRUIT MACHINES on eBay (end time 05-Aug-09 21:09:45 BST)

If your's does not look like this, then you will need this item if you wish to change your %ages.

Delt with stemik's before, and know them to be reliable
