20p, but i do have the bits for 10p too.

Aaah man. I do now.

Thanks man. I'd expect nothing more from the leader of my support group.

Got the metal surrounds away and it's a 4 pin connector. I've ordered a relay, just need to work out how to use it when it arrives! Hopefully you can find me some info on that other hopper (2nd pic) as there is literally no information or manuals for this that i could find. E-service have no U hoppers in stock, Ebay want over £60, so I've contacted Maggi Electronics to see if they think they could repair my broken ones. At least I can play ones that pay out in £1s but really missing my oldies lol. Thanks to all that have looked and all that have tried to help me out. This community is truly awesome.

Thanks @fruitsnappaThere's a bit about payouts in there, but to me, I can't make it relate to what i have. It's good info though and hopefully it might lead to a solution.

Thanks @GingeI've put a thread up on MpuMecca too. Made a donation in hope of a manual or something. I've been lurking and browsing that site for years, so it was about time I paid into it. Plus my Happy Campers machine isn't getting any younger and there are some seriously knowledgeable people over there!

I had one of those once. Didn't get anywhere with it though. I ended up using part of it as a payout chute! I think that one needs a relay and more skills than i have.

Do they still do postal orders? I'll start sending them to you on a regular basis!

As the title suggests, I got these 2, with tray from a scrap S4 club machine. I was assured that they were of the parallel persuasion, so took a punt. £12 + £7.50 postage. Once arrived I immediately saw that the big hopper only has an 8 pin connector rather than the 10 pin ones that the newer "U" type hoppers have. I can't even see the connector on the other hopper as it's covered by metal. Both seem to be seperately connected to an 18 pin connector that I assume once connected to the s4 payout system. Does anyone have manuals for either the s4 or the separate hoppers? Any information based on the pics below will be greatly received, and @woodsyI'm well aware you already think I'm an idiot. Thanks!

Don't know if it's related, but have you got the runtime thingy mentioned in this thread?

Again, not meant to offend, but are you sure you aren't on win 7? It doesn't work on that OS. The latest version to work on win7 is 6.1

Make a new topic in resources, I think everyone will be pleased with new content! https://www.desertislandfruits.com/forum/index.php?/forum/64-resources/

Price seems great, but are they parallel and will they work in mfme? I can't find a manual anywhere that shows wiring / connections etc.

Does anyone know much about these? Decent price if they would work ok. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/284392877850?mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338749395&toolid=20006&customid=GB_1249_284392877850.138219035270~1587099523669-g_EAIaIQobChMI7L2BiLPh9wIVme7tCh0FxQw1EAQYFSABEgJv2vD_BwE This is the information sheet from the manufacturer. https://www.aseuro.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/SA595_2016-1.pdf Thanks

Yes, or configurable keyboard/buttons

Thanks man! I'm pretty sure it isn't the wiring now (apart from the fact that the dupont connectors can be a little picky) as I have had the 24v hopper working as Hopper 1 and as Hopper 2 separately. I'm still hoping I can find the sweet spot for the pin that connects the hopper to the pac drive, but I'm not sure there is going to be one. I've given up on the one that fires off the [[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[ for now. Thanks for all the hints, tips, information and moral support! Will report back when there's more to the saga.

One good thing about this mess is at least I've had a few laughs out of it. I won't be touching the thing again until at least Friday. It has to be dragged out into open space in the lounge, much to the annoyance of my wife. Oh, and the swearing! Mind you, I'm not much better. Boom boom.

Sadly not mate, but another good bit of advice.Thanks
