Hi there, im new to this!

I have recently got a Club Ohh Ahh Dracula Barcrest fruit machine, jackpot £250 but i am unsure on how to change the jackpto stake and ammount it is to play the machine.

In the manual it says about the dip switches on Bank 1, but i can only see bank 2.

Any advice would be great!?

Thanks

on the mpu5 main board, if u look towards the corner of the board u will see a bank of dip switches right in the corner.

there are 2 banks of 8 dip switches on the main mpu5

there is a bank of 8 dip switches underneath the gamecard if thats the bank u couldn't find.

with power switched off unclip the gamecard and there is a red bank with white dips.

Thanks will check tonight!

What would be a good price to pay for this fruit machine then, with all the decals for the jackpot settings, all keys, spare bulbs, original manual etc?

to me, i don't buy machines now. but to a private buyer anywhere between £130 to £170 thats if its in good condition.

you may get more if you put it on ebay as lots of people tend to buy clubbers.

or you could advertise locally in your area


hope this helps

as lincs said there is a bank of switches on the gamecard but this isn't the bank you are looking for.

the bank you are looking for is situated at the bottom right hand corner of the mpu.(its black with white switches)

I had a look last night and i saw on the game card down the bottom right a set of pins that said switches, i thought that they had been removed or something.

But when i then looked, right down the bottom right of the card, very hidden behind wires was the set of Bank 1 switches, i had to take the whole card of the machine to get to the switches.

Thanks for all your help, i have now changed the stake to £200 jackpot on 20p play!

yer them sly dogs at barcrest thought they would hide them bank of dip switches for nobody to find lmao

i dread to think when the mpu 6 gets released in the future where will both banks of dip switches be? ? on the board


glad u got it sorted paul

i think they did that so it wasn't easy for a club owner or pub owner to change stakes and prizes or % settings themselves.

i think it was more to do with the arcade attendants who have keys not to change the % so they can play um when the managers n bosses arn't looking.
