Hey, I ended up fixing it by turning the reel by hand until the sensor lined up. Then it just worked 

Thanks for your help everyone. Next I'm going to replace the PSU board (the speaker is making a horrible buzzing noise that I want to reduce).

After that I'm going to see if I can decompile the source code and have a play and see if I can make it "fairer" (ie I'm guessing hi/lo results aren't truly random and are based on the takings of the machine). Should be fun :-)

Here we go! I hope these pictures are useful 

In the mean time I am going to try the other options mentioned in this thread 

it is really when you havent replied on the mecca....

that is the one place you may gave been given reliable help.

I have replied there. The reason I'm quicker off the mark here is that I get email notifications when someone posts a reply here.

The opto sensor is the black plastic U shaped thing that's fastened to the reel bracket, and the opto flag is the little black plastic thing that sticks out of the reel drum (the round thing withe the symbols on.

 

Didn't realise it was over there as well. 

 

Nowt like keeping your options open is there lol

Thanks.

Sorry, it was a bit cheeky of me to post in 2 places 

Thanks, I will take some photos when I get home (around 7pm if not before).

Is the opto sensor board the bit that the opto sensor should line up to? If so it's very simple and I don't think it has any leds on it. There's definitely no red lights showing.
