I was pm'ing Kevin (the OP) about my pick up and he said to post in his thread I also posted in the massive EM thread.

I bought a Rancho last night and It's also my first EM as well. I've been wanting to add an EM to my collection for a while now, so I'm pretty happy and excited to get it working.

It's seems to be in pretty decent condition, but does need some work... It turns on and lights up, but doesn't start a game though. I'm going to have to read up and learn em's to find out where to start at first glance it appears to be missing a fuse though. Any input would be fantastic!

Thanks for the advice, yes I did get it going by manually advancing the credit reel. The problem is someone has messed up the coin mech switches, see pic. I'll fix them but I'm going to put it on free play anyway.
So far it appears everything is working except for one pop number light that's not flashing, but I haven't logged much time on it yet. I will clean it up and test it more to be sure...
