I have a Copy Cat Machine by Fun Industries. It's a cute little ball vender/Simon game. I had been fighting with this thing for a littte while, couldn't figure out what was wrong with it so I broke down and called the factory. Mike was super helpful and maybe his fix can help someone else considering a few of their machines run the same hardware.

What I was experiencing was a proper vend and correct function when I would get an answer wrong, but a reboot every time I'd answer right. I had tried to change some ICs on the input lines and the processor, but no luck. He walked me through a factory reboot on the board and it works great now.

Proceedure for this is to power on the machine, hold the program button, cycle power off and on again with the program button still held, release the program button once the system boots, then power cycle again. This wasn't in any manual that I saw, but it fixed me right up. Thanks Mike!
