hey, picked up my first fruit machine called jackpots that rock n roll.

at first seem to work ok. but now doesnt like coins very much.

and dont think it came with a refill key. didnt no you needed one till i looked at the book.

and also its set at £35 jackpot would like to put it to £25.

it came with book, 2 keys and £5 to £25 and £35 reelglass.

so little confused.???

well reguarding the coins, have you tried cleaning the coin mech.

You'll need a multi stake/prizes key to switch to the lower jackpot.
Hang on, I'll just open my Flashback.
I'm assuming your JP that RnR is in an Elegance cab.
Open up your machine (front door) and look at the big black box located to the right (hopper), above that mounted on back panel of machine is a small circuit board about 7.5cm squared with two spaces for D plugs (9 pin), the lower space is for the stake/prizes key and you need a female (ie receives (!!) the pins) multistake key.
Basically you need to ask for a multi stake/prizes key for an EPOCH IF yours is running on Epoch tech. Some of these (but very few) were built to run on a different tech (SCORP 4).

If you get a key, or you already have a switchable key in there, you'll probably see your female D plug mounted onto the circuitry with two small white boxes, each box containing 4 DIPS that can be set on/off. My Flashback is 20p play £5 jackpot, so I have DIP one ON and all others OFF for SW1 PRIZE 5.00 and on the STAKE SIDE SW2 (right) I have DIP 2 on and all others off for 0.20 stake. You need to experiment as I don't think the EPOCH manuel details Stake/prize key settings, but it does for multi % key. then you just slide your £25 decals in and the program will only recognise the multistake (the game is multistake) 0.10/0.20/0.30 for a £25 jackpot.

Reasonable game to own and can do £75 off red JPtRnR.

is it this



put the first 1 on all the rest off. but still playin at £35 jackpot


with the coins sometimes takes them and sometime dosent ?

Looks almost the same as that, but what you have there, is the percentage key, NOT stake / prizes, in your last pic.

The stake / prizes key, fits in the socket just above the percentage key.

As for the coin mech, the top half of the mech on one side, has a spring loaded door, which you can lift back with your finger.

Get some plain furniture spray polish, and put a small amount onto a dry, lint free cloth (A J-cloth, or glasses cleaning cloth is best for this), and give it a good rub down in this area.

thnaks for the help coins working better now!

can i buy a stake / prizes key socket ?
and also a refill key?

what should the percentage key be set to?

thnaks

[stanmarsh14]

Stake / prizes should be all standard RS232 fittings as shown in your pic's, if memory serves me correct.

Best off trying e-bay for this: stake prize key, Video Games items at low prices on eBay.co.uk

As for the percentage key, for home use, I would whack it up as high as it will go, but unfortunaly, I do not know the actual settings on the dip's needed, but I am betting bazpeep and nails will.

[rocknroll]

hi, so what should i set the stake prizes to get jackpot of £5,
and what should the percentage be set too?



and i shouldnt worry about a refill key then

[rocknroll]

any one no? would like to get this up and going for 31st

[voodoomau5]

on the stake and prize key flick switches 4 & 5 up and leave the rest where they are...bam it in the machine...switch the machine on..jobs a goodun.



the percentages i don't know off by heart but if the machine played okay when you last had the key in just pop it back in and away you go.


you probs will get a mem reset alarm when it initializes but just ignore it..it'll go off after about 5 seconds

[fruitsnappa]

Settings should be set same as this info.

done that but 4 and 5 on but the alarm just keeps going off ?

[roderz]

you have to set the price of play to 30p - it will not do £5 10p fixed
it will only do £5 @ 10/20/30p multi stake
Try sw 4 & 7

BTW I assume that chart is for the black 8 way key? as the setting for the blue 8 way key if different in my experiance
