Well it looks I get to learn about Atronics now :37-
Took me a min to figure out where the power switch was....Thats how much I know about them .
After I turn it on it says on the screen "Loading Modules" and gets to 12 than says "Loading Screens" and gets to 12 and graphics come up on the screen and after 10 sec's it beeps once then it says "Config CRC Error" on the screen.

I have not a clue as to where to start  :30-

This is pictures of the boards. Was not sure what else to post???

2. Config CRC Error
This message will be shown when the checksum of the
Config Key Data is not correct. Repeat the routine
with the Config Key EPROM.

I hope this helps,
Wayne

Configuration Key WBC Video
The Configuration Key enables the Operator to select
a specific percentage from a range of Paytables selectable
from one EPROM.
General Information
The PAYTABLE EPROM, located at U6 on Main Board,
is replaced with the Config Key EPROM and then powered
up. After the Power up, the Main Software interprets
the Config Key and initialises the RAM, so that
the Config Key is installed. The Main Software will then
start a special Configuration Setup, which enables the
Operator to select a specific Paytable version. One
physical EPROM, will contain all the Paytable versions
for one game type.
Hardware Handling
1. Power down machine
2. Remove the PAYTABLE EPROM from location U6 on
the Mainboard
3. Insert the Config Key EPROM into location U6
4. Power up machine
5. A message will be displayed on the Monitor:
Memory Reset. New Game
Config EPROM detected. Restart with original Paytable
6. Power down machine
7. Remove Config EPROM from location U6 and replace
with PAYTABLE EPROM.
8. Power up machine
During the Powering up process the Software will check
if the RAM was initialised by the insertion of a Config
Key. If the check proves valid the Software will start
the special Configuration Setup.

There's this also.

Clear Memory - RAM Reset
To clear the memory, including PC-Setup and all statistic
data, execute the following steps:
• Switch off power
• Exchange EPROM U2 with CLEAR-EPROM RRES_08
• Remove Masterboard from Logicbox
• Remove EPROM U2 carefully out of socket
• Insert CLEAR-EPROM into same socket
• Insert Masterboard into Logicbox
• Turn on power
• Wait approx. 10 seconds (audible signal)
• Switch off power
• Exchange CLEAR-EPROM with original EPROM U2
in the same way as stated above
• Turn on power
An error message RAM ERROR will be displayed
• Press and hold the red reset switch for approx. 5
seconds (audible signal)
• Carry out basic software setup
• Select paytable

Note:
All statistic data (Audit Menu- Statistics)
are set to 0 (zero).
All machine settings (PC-Setup, Menu
Setup) are reset to factory settings.

Do you have a manual?

No manual or no chip  :25- Thanks for the replies

Mainboard....

I emailed you some model questions, you may want to check your email.  :61-  Let me know when you get it.

Thanks,
Wayne

Thanks Wayne  :88- I will be able to answer your questions as soon as I find a config chip  :103-

Just a update.... Installed the config chip (thanks John! ). Booted to a screen that said it was cleared,than said install % eprom... which is the chip yo removed. (  Was up at 27 hrs t this point,so its close :) )After installing the game chip,and booting back up it said "Ram wrong". Pulled the board back out to install the ram clear chip...as I was reading the manual.  Skipped the ram wrong error and put the game chip back in....The manual says just hold the reset button in for 5 sec's to clear the error. I played it for awhile  :25- , >>> next project (like I donot have enough!!!) The picture you see is what it look like it was when I bought it  :89- The machine has not seen power for years  :99- ... So much easier when I collected coins,beer cans,etc.. :97-

 The purpose of this post is two fold; To help if someone else has a Atronics with the same problem. Second,if you are thinking about getting a "slot machine" RUN while you still can. You will "pickup" one ...than one day you will say toyour self.." Where the hell did all of these come from"  :103-

i have four cofig keys and 3 master reset but all are not label is there a way to tell which is which?  like rres 09, 08 etc...

thanks

If they have no labels on them ,only way I know is to read themwith a programmer. What Meg's are they?

config key are
buffer chk sum 249 ah
23BEh
2777h
32c3h

master reset
buffer chk sum
24AEh
576Eh
0036h

do you make anything of it

there are the four different config keys
and 3 master reset key

i would be great if i can figure out what they are.

also games like (chessy money, atlantica, running numbers, jumping jackpot, and clowning around  what keys do i use to clear everything

I'm not sure what the difference are between them . I had one Config. chip that would clear "Happy Safari" . After I changed it over to "Three Wishes" the same chip would not clear it...had to use a diff. version.
If you do not get any replies soon you may want to start a new topic  :89-

Hello LT

Did you ever get your Atronics working ?
If you have a programmer read the eprom and then go into the edit binary file option. Normally the program number is in the first few lines of the hex "translation" of the binary code
