Well, I guess that any info needs to be forward to me... I am guessing that this is the Espirit that I just bought from Greg not knowing that this was a known problem... unless he had more than one of these, which I doubt due to their seemingly rarity.

Any help/info greatly appreciated!

Addendum:

Yes, this IS the machine that I bought from Greg on eBay for $19... It would have been nice if he had mentioned the acid damage on the CPU board and other things that were in the other post asking for identification of the machine on one of the other forums here.  Oh well, it was $19... I will do my best to bring it back original or replace its brains with modern microprocessors.

I'll get it working one way or another :)  I haven't dug into it yet...   I imagine the acid damage is from the batteries or a cap, no biggie, expected on a machine that age.   I just was surprised on the possible ROM mismatch... but like I said, all things can be fixed with a microprocessor or two if need be!

The IGT are much easier, I agree... I don't blame you one bit!

Hi.
I am also trying to revive one of these. I have a Australian 10c 5 reel "silver cloud" machine. I have had to replace a few resistors, triacs, transistors and 2 of the processor chips so far on my IO board.


I'm ok with electronics but have never had to deal with roms before. How do I know if my EPROMs are ok? Once dumped how will I know without anything to compare it to?
