hi all, just wondering whether anyone knows the features or if there is a msnual i can purchase including the mpu5 manual? I'm using it at home but want to understand the machine further to allow me to fix things as they occur.
Any help massively appreciated.

If its rocky club some pictures would be nice so we can dx it with the machine turned off.

If you go to the mpu mecca site & donate you have access to manuals & other stuff.

Unless someone else can help.

just about to say that richy, 

hope you are going to stay docsil  not just get what you want then disappear into the sunset

regarding your machine as richy points out some nice high res photo's would be nice for a lovely dx that way we can all play "your" machine virtually there is a classic version on this site but you may need to post more before downloading or donate to higher your d/l quota

anyways welcome

Ok understood.
I'll take a few shots when I have some good light and post them here. Not looking to hit and run, I'm interested in getting to know more about it over a period of time so always happy to help if I can.

Many thanks, found it!

I'll get to posting some photos this weekend.

Pm Tommy C as I'm sure he was thinking about dxing this machine and he'll tell you how to take the photos as they will need to be shot on a slight angle to avoid camera flash etc

Question, if I buy a 9pin dongle (key) to change the percentage payout instead of using the built in 3 switches which allow for changes from 72-86%, will it work and override the switch settings?

[docscil]

Will this do?

Its not a bad pic, could do with a few, take pics of both glasses & one of the full machine from the buttons up, also best to zip them up so they dont lose quality.

Thanks.

 

I see yours is dual stake version.

I guess not, bought one and it doesn't work.

Thanks Dave, I think the machine might be slightly different since there are only 3 percentage switches.

I'll take a picture of the stickers inside the machine and post them to see if you can provide any further help. Thanks.

Yes it looks like you're right - you are up to the max %

Should be fine and recommended along with a switchable stake / prize key if it's not a club machine (Clubbers have their own way of changing stakes / prizes, and sometimes percentages..... normally on the MPU DIPS or rocker switches in the back.)..... means you can have a play about, and work out what best percentage for your machine is, which balances out between cost and payback..... generally recommend home machines are set to around 86%
