Hi, Just thought I might add a new topic to the community.   (apologies if it's been done before).    Here is a quick video of my mancave / toyroom.   It is my converted garage which luckily is attached to my house so altered as an additional room.   Plastered walls and insulated etc.  

I'VE SHOWN YOU MINE, NOW SHOW ME YOURS.

If enough interest then I will include another video of other items.

Hope it's of interest, regards, Chris

Hi,   As a way of repaying the site for helping me out with my Elvis top twenty problem,  I have attached a link showing my homemade games console.  It is primarily a jukebox system but includes slot machines and quiz machines.   I do not know anything about real fruit machines so can't help anybody but hope this is a way of contributing to the site.   Sorry for rambling on in the video but at my age (retired) trying to video, record and talk at the same time is somewhat of a trial, especially if I am trying to think about what I am saying as well.   If this topic is not welcome then by all means just edit it.   Regards,  Chris   Didn't know how to attach link so put it in a file, just open file and copy and paste into browser

Hi,   Sorry if this is not allowed but can anybody give me some direction in which way to start with the problems on my above fruit machine.   I have posted on 'Faults and Technical Issues'  but no replies as yet.   Please, please help as I just have no idea where to start.   A contact for a repair person in the Cambridgeshire area would be appreciated.  Regards, Chris   (See explanation of faults on other post)

Hi, I am a new member and would really appreciate any help somebody could offer.   I am not a fruit machine collector or have any knowledge of fruit machines.   I own an Elvis Top Twenty B3 in a Rio cabinet.  I only have the machine as I am a big Elvis fan and this is my pride and joy.  I purchased the machine many years ago and probably paid far too much for it ( £1500 ) but at the time you could not get one anywhere and I was desperate for one.   It has never given me any problems since owning it, but now the problems begin...

I moved house and had to lay the machine down for the move.  After getting the machine into my new house and leaving it stood back up for about six weeks until the room was ready for it.  It was stored inside in the warm.    When I switched the machine on it all seemed Ok and started up and top screens showed video for about 6 seconds and then stopped.    Now  whenever I switch it on it has message on top screen saying monitor OK and floating message on lower screen.    I have unplugged every connector and replugged in (with power off) and still the same thing happens.    Four power leds on MPU5 are on and top 'start up' led is constantly flashing.

I have tried looking everywhere on the internet and no real help found.   Some seem to suggest battery??  and others suggest MPU5 or RAM ??   or new image required.    Not sure what any of this really means but am willing to purchase any parts required but would like a suggestion in which direction to start.   Thanks in advance for anybody who can offer some advice.   Regards,  Chris.
