Hi Guys, loving the site, and the fantastic work you do with all the emulators! but now I really need some help with my 'real' fruit machine......

 

Basically, a couple of months ago I had a problem with the fruit machine resetting itself, and not fully coming on.... this i traced back to the Stadium Power supply ( for scorp. 4) I cured it for a while, by turning the power pot up slightly..... worked fine for 2 months, and now back where i started....

 

Basically, does anyone have any spare scorpion 4 power supplies? any going cheap, or know where one can obtain the power supply for a reasonable price? 

 

Many Thanks

 

David

Hi David,

 

The way to test if this is your Power supply fully is by metering out your 5v under load - Buying another Power supply could just give you the same issues due to every supply being set up a touch different for every machine dependent on reels, lamps and extras.

 

But only use a meter if you know what your doing as you could cause more damage if not.

 

Did you adjust the 12v pot or 5v pot on your psu?

 

Best wishes

I believe I adjusted the 12V pot.... it worked great for a long while......

Hi David,

 

Its the 5v pot that triggers the reset - Some have this pot some dont as it was added on at a later date.
