    I just got a trash project and sent the board out for repair, board is back and I'd like to install it and try it out. Power cord coming in was damaged and hacked back together, so I'm not sure it's correct.

    Your typical grounded plug, I have 3 colors black, white and green with a a yellow tracer. I need to be sure of what to connect those to with the 3 wires coming off the board.

    Any help would be appreciated.image.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpg

    Quoted from CactusJack:

    I guess it's for a lucky egg chicken machine (capsule vendor).

    Yes, but it's the Flintstones version. I have no manual and can't find anything.

    Alright, finally got to working on it. Hooked it up as suggested and it beeped and I could hear the speaker crackle. I thought great, progress! Closed the door, put in a quarter, wouldn't take it. Managed to find a token inside the machine, pushed it in........ And..... Yabba Dabba Doo!! Fred started spinning, speaker/voice worked great. Fred kept spinning as did the redemption tray, without thinking I unplugged it, instead of hitting the prize release switch, to stop the action.

    Called the wife down to see, plugged it back in and no go. Checked the fuse, its ok, speaker still has the crackle but when inserting a coin, nothing happens. So depressing, lol.

    So I guess progress, any ideas where to start? I really need to find a wiring diagram and I know I could fix this.

    Ok update. Unplugged it, triple checked the fuse etc, left it off for about 5 mins. Plugged it back it, and Fred started to spin right away. Used the switch to stop him this time but that's it, insert coin, no go.

    Noticed the power cord was looking bad, replaced it, left it off alittle longer this time to do the swap. Plugged it back in, it beeped like it did the first time, thought I was in business!

    Put in a token, Fred spinned, said "Yabba, Dabba, Doo!" Used the switch to stop him, this time, he said "Dino loves you!"

    Tried another token and nothing!! Seems if I leave it unplugged for abit to cool down something, it works great.....

    One last update for tonight...

    I think it actually may be the "coin-slide" mechanism. It appears to be 2 magnets and when they contact that triggers a start? Im not familiar with this set-up. Ive got it now that I can make it work 3-4 times in a row, wont work for 2-3 and then works again 2-3 in a row.

    Everything else seems right, when it works its fantastic, I think the next step is replacing the coin sensor? Not even sure what is called or where to look for one.

    Just so excited for my 2 girls to see it, play it they are so excited to get some prizes!
