Thanks for all the info guys - after much trial and error I have narrowed this down to a loose wire on the connector (or the connector was loose itself) that leads from the bottom of the 3rd reel area up towards all the important bits on the reel that I don't know the names of like the red LED etc. Everything seems great for now!

Special thanks to impact as his suggestion is right and has solved my problem.

Thanks again!

I have tried to get the machine into test mode, but dont seem to be able to get past the reels spinning (after switching it on), when reels one and two seem to align ok, but 3 sometimes spins for longer or drops in out of alignment, then there is a very loud alarm and the same message - 2.3 reel 3 err.

Looking inside the machine I notice that near each reel is a red LED, on reels 1 and 2 this LED is on, but on reel 3 it is off. Also on the large circuit board at the back of the machine there are 3 green LED's, left to right these are SOLID / SOLID / FLASHING.

Sorry I am new to this, so may have used the wrong names for things. I'm sure I'll learn from you guys in time :)

This is my first post! Hi everyone

I'm getting one of these machines off Ebay (bought by my wife for my birthday) to use as a nice piggy-bank. Knowing very, very little about the working of fruit machines, how much cash will I have to load it up with to be able to play it? From what I've read, the hopper holds something like £125 (am I right?) will that need to be full to play, or will a lower amount allow normal operation.

Hope I've not asked too silly a question :)
