Here is my lastest treasure. The tag is missing so have no idea of model or year, the logo on the glass says P M COIN. Only has one button on the deck and it's the change button, every thing else is touch screen, I think it's a 19" screen.  My question is does any one have any info on this machine?  Thought I would try to get fixed, and if not Joey is talking about shooting a slot machine with a 12 GA, maybe I will take him a target!!

That's a pretty nice looking machine Buzz but
I've never seen a hopper spit out dollar bills...ever!   :96-

Mark           thanks for the flowers, but the truth of the matter is  it's a ugly ass machine!!  But it is well built, the door still closes like a brand new one. The BV 145 SH is mounted on a set of roller brackets much like a file cabinet, and it still takes dollar bills I don't know where the credits goes but it takes my money. and the coin comparator CC 16 it only has two wires, bottom pin and next one up.  For $30 I didn't expect a Game King!! :208-

The pictures are deceiving...like the one you sent me about the 230 year old stone bridge... :96-
it looks like a pretty machine except for the engine block red color inside....LOL
I just noticed the DBV comes through the left side of the belly glass...that's a little odd, huh?
That door has to be perfect or you'll bust out the belly glass if the DBV doesn't line up!

Buzz.... Do you have some PCB pictures?

That thing has a Universal look to it. DBV on the left, MPU vertically mounted on the left, etc.
Is it a Japanese machine?
Pic's of the main board would be nice!

Uniman  If you want it I will be going to Bullhead next month 30 dollars and it's yours.  I will post a pic of a PCB if some one will tell me what a PCB is!!

Buzz,
In the early 80's, they started calling computer boards "PCB" boards which stood for "Printed Circuit Board"...
It was also referred to as PWB (Printed Wiring Board)...
or even PCBA (Printed Circiut Board Assembly)  Arghhh!!!

Nowadays, there are so many "Printed Circuit Boards" in machines that
they changed the names to show the difference...a little...

The other name which confuses people a lot is CPU (Central Processing Unit)
which is really the main chip under the big heat sink in home computers...

Of course, in gaming machines, we have the "Backplane" boards and
"Motherboards" - which isn't the same as home computers.

Nice offer Buzz, thanks!
But I don't think I want it. Sure is tempting!!
Looks like it needs a RAM clear. I was looking for a RAM clear button or mini toggle switch on that board, but don't see one.
You should try removing the CMOS chip and then reinstall it. That may clear it.

For what it's worth, I've seen those "Player's Choice" machines in several smaller bars in Las Vegas that have gaming.  The ones I've seen are attached to a central computer so that when you cash out it prints on the printer behind the bar and the bartender pays you.  Obviously that's not the case for all of them as the one you have pictured has a hopper.  I think I know of some pictures of the screen when it's in operation -- I'll try and find them and post them here.

I'm 99% sure this picture is of a Player's Choice machine screen (and no, it's not my win).

Actually, I think that screen I posted was frorm a "Gambler's Choice" machine -- not a Player's Choice.

Seems like no one knows aynthing about this machine. Think maybe I will take it to Joey if he can't fix it, he can shoot at it :208- :208- :205- :205-

hey buzz!
I had a poker machine by Merit that I fixed one time...
it had a "Dallas" RAM chip on it...
I ordered a exact new one from mouser or digikey...
I don't remember where,
but, when I put the new ram chip in,
the scrambled screen went away for good...
Now, I'm guessing that the scramble screen is due to a bad
RAM chip but yours may be different.
The Dallas ram chip had a built in battery that was dead in it...
I'm wondering if that's the sort of thing that's going on with yours in a way?
Try changing the battery on the board if there's one...or
if you have a ram chip that is the same as the one you have on yours - swap it and
see if you clear up your screen?
