Hello all, never posted on here before but have been a member for a while. Ive been trying to rember a machine from the late 80's/early 90's. I came across two varieties of it one was called knockout i think but i dont remember the name of the other one. All i can give you is that you used to get a hammer on the winline and you had to hit it in the right place for either nudges/steps/ or cashpot. Any ideas folks???

Yep, 'think' it was called something like hit the top, 27 ways to get the feature. The other you are thinking of is stop the clock, which aslo had a 27 ways to get the feature.

I think a company called 'Pas' or 'Bas' made them both and my guess is that's all they made.

I might have a piccy, will have a search and come back

[angel213]

nope, sorry mat wasnt that. I think it was an earl bfm, only hammers on the winline gave you a shot at the features.

[angel213]

if it is any help the one which wasnt called knockout had the bash street kids where the nudges were.

Sorry then, I do have piccies of the 2 machine I said though.

At least my memory isn't too bad, Bas made them both, one is indded stop the clock but the other is cop the lot.

Still, someone else might know the machine you're on about

the 2 am thinking of is its a knockout and top the lot if that helps

[angel213]

Yep, Vegas had a lot of older machines. Loved it in there back then. They also had lines of video games too, something that's missing from alot of arcades these days

Thinking back other machines were WIn Again, Gold Mine, Moneymine, and a strange machine called miracles, it had a reel fruit featue on it where you could hit the bar and it nearley always gave you jackpot, but the hoppers were a bit messed up and it normally gave you 2 £coins mixed in with your 10p's.

Would have been tubes back then

I can remember line up and exchanges unlimited in there. All the 'double nothing' types.

Do you remember one called blue velvet then? They ahd 3 or 4 in the pier back then, 2p play, £1 jackpot. They were brilliant!

[angel213]

um, if you were at the change box it was directly to your left.

[angel213]

giving the fact i was only 10 back then, i was quite happy that nobody was on it. i used to put 30p in for a good £1.50 at least lol.

I reckon you two should discuss this over a meal and a nice glass of wine

Incidentally, I've no idea about the machine you're on about. Nothing springs to mind and I'm positive nothing like that has been emulated as yet.

We could meet up at Vegas and chat, i'd have to wait outside cause I am banned lol.

Left of the change box........ I remember a mote carlo or bust tot he left, was a machine behind it.....

Haha, if any of you had been in there back then it was packed with old classics. Bit like a modern day mablethorpe This was 1995 onwards. Most places had new stuff coming through etc

[todd1970]

A combined effort is needed here..but im with DAD on this..havent a scoob about what this machine could be.

The only machine i can think of that has a hammer and i know it isnt this..is 'Ring the Bell' Astra.

Im stuck.
