HQ glass shots wont be a problem... I've got a brand new 10MP camera just begging to be used!

So what (roughly) is involved in doing a ROM dump? Would it be done via the RS232 interface on the mainboard, or would I require an EPROM programmer of some sort? I'm quite excited at the prospect of adding something new to the Emu scene - even if the hardware version never rises from the dead!

call it frank.

I was thinking that it looked more like a 'Betsy' than a 'Frank'.

I'd get on to the guys at the mecca for help straight away - as you might make it worse if you don't get some advice.. This was indeed a classc from mid/late 90s that I personally really liked so good luck and get somebody to dump the roms ;-)

Mecca link on the left - post the machine and some pictures/ description on there and they will give some fantastic advice.

Great link - thanks! I'll be posting there shortly...

The smoke coming from the PSU is probably the capacitors - they have a habit of doing this on the old JPM MPS machines. They are fairly easy to change.

Yup - it was. I've pulled the offending cap out of the PSU board - now all I need to do is track down a replacement from somewhere like Maplin!

There is a manual here

Awesome! Much appreciated...

Whereabouts do you live??

I'm in Harlow, in Essex.

Well... I managed to get it home in one piece - although moving it by myself resulted in the glasses popping into the case! No serious damage done thankfully...

However, when I powered it up for the first time (with the back off) I saw a power light and error indicator (?) showing '0'. Then the PSU died - smoking too! The previous owner told me that it hadn't turned on for a while, so I'm assuming the move simply pushed it over the edge!

Super Exchange would seem to be right - it appears on the top glass and the reels. The QA sticker inside says 1989. I'd be delighted to dump the ROMs if somebody can guide me through it! HQ photos aren't a problem either...

I just find the whole machine fascinating - the way all the lights are wired for example, in a pre-PCB way that is almost artistic! I'd love to get it back to its former glory...

So - anyone got an Owner's Manual for this era/case? Any thoughts on what I can use to replace the PSU?
