Title: Cherry Master Help Needed Post by: slick on August 18, 2013, 03:18:19 PM HI,
Just got this CM 96. Can't find a model number anywhere but I posted a picture of it. It's playing ok but I have a question and a problem. 1. I'd like to know the operation of the 3 position toggle switch, inside, next to the cash box. Also, is it true you must have the power off when you change toggle positions. 2. The ticket dispenser was supposed to be working but it isn't. I pulled out the 3 tickets that appeared to be jammed and fed in a new ticket roll. The button on the board advances the tickets ok but they don't come out by pushing the ticket button. The light is out on the button but I assume that would be just a bulb (start button doesn't light up but does work). I don't know if there's someting wrong with it or I just don't know how it's supposed to function. Help appreciated.

Title: Re: Cherry Master Help Needed Post by: knagl on August 19, 2013, 02:25:28 AM I'm not familiar with Cherry Master machines, but generally speaking you should always turn the power off when adjusting DIP switches on a circuit board. If the toggle switch you're talking about isn't a DIP switch, then I can't speak to it one way or another.

The switch you need to be careful is the toggle switch on the board itself. This is a reset switch that wipes out all stats on the board. If you use it while the game is turned on you may damage the board. The dip switches (8 little micro switches each) are to change the payout and percentages. Using the manual and with the power off, remove the board and write down each one before changing them. Here is a manual that might give you some info. It may not be exact but all games are similar.
