I'm currently planning to keep one and I'm leaning towards keeping the other but that isn't set in stone. I received a few offers but after playing with these machines for a while their coolness has outweighed the offers so far. First off, THANKS to everyone for the advice and information so far!
As I said I was able to plug in a computer and verify the touch screens (was kinda fun playing some of the Masque slot machine titles on the big touch screen) and was able to even run the sound through the built in speakers on one of them. I think the other one is missing the audio board. I haven't yet been able to find videos or info to help decipher electronics inside but the audio board was pretty obvious and its clearly missing on the other. I was also able to get the header and topper lights to light on one of them but not the other. Only the main part of the "quick hits platinum" topper lights but I'm pretty sure it has little LED lights surrounding it that aren't lighting. I was also not able to get anything below the screen to light (buttons, lower logo) or the purple lights on the side of the monitor. Are any of these lights tied directly to the MPU and aren't working because I don't have one yet?
Onto the MPU - Here is where I still have a lot of learning to do. What MPU's work in this machine exactly and if there are multiple ones that work, are there some games that would work on one and not the other? I'll need to track down one or two MPU's at some point.
I've also heard "bios" and "jurisdiction chip" mentioned separately from the MPU. What do I need to match those up? I'm getting the feeling that the "jurisdiction chip" while dictate certain configuration and payout options on the machine. I also so something that indicated I would need particular jurisdiction chips if I wanted to use one of the home use TiTo sysems (I was reading about "Better Tito" and it seems pretty cool!).
As for games I'd like to get two or three of them to be able to change out. Of the ones I know I can play in this cabinet I'm currently interested in the Playboy version of the Quick hits platinum, Roulette, and some of the U-spin titles.
