Identify Fortune Coin Blackjack
« on: February 25, 2021, 10:35:32 PM »
Im pretty sure this is a Fortune 1, all chips are dated 1980.
I found a schematic for a similar poker machine and there are many similarities.
The machine boots to what you see and will occasionally accept credit but button press does nothing and there is no button illumination. The screen lacks red and blue which could be the video board or one of the symptoms mentioned in another post regarding Fortune machines.
There is a board in the lower cabinet where the ribbon from door controls comes in, the board has 4 LEDs that do not light. Is that an interface board? Should they be lighting?


Thanks in advance for any direction.


Chris

Attached is what the LED's on the I/O board should be doing when a button is pressed.

Suspect an open coin in switch if no LED's light up.
Let them that don't want any, have memories of not getting any.

Thanks Alan. Can you confirm this is a Fortune 1? Do you have a tester in the shop?
I traced coin-switch leads through to the interface board (I will call it that until Im told differently). I also tested the switch NO/NC. I gently lifted the ribbon connector at block B, I found pin 11 was crushed instead of inserted and it has the appearance of having arched with pin 12. However, pin 11 (purple wire) does not attach to anything in the button panel. does that pin connect to something on the board which could have shorted?
After fixing the pin ( photo 1) the machine now acknowledges coin-in on the mechanical counter up top but does not count on screen, well it stops at 1 then errors:. (Photo 2)

You do have a Fortune 1 Video Blackjack machine. You're missing the battery on the MPU board, used for credit amounts, etc.
