As in the title, where would people recommend as the best/cheapest place to buy used or new fruit machines?

all i can say is WWW.EBAY.CO.UK

Ebay has a few goo dbuys...but machine workshopped fruities tend to give you fewer problems so it its a few years old look on google for fruit machine sales... but if you want rarier machines ebays the way to go...

Or......

Try contacting your local supplier.Check the yellow pages, i bet there are loads nearby that would be willing to sell you one on the cheap.Some dont sell for private/home use but some just dont give a damn what its for

RED HOT FEVER ARCADE FRUIT MACHINE

£75.00 19h 19m
FRANK,N,STEIN ARCADE FRUIT MACHINE
http://cgi.ebay.co.u...82&category=575
£75.00 19h 22m

Those are both Buy It Now prices, i.e machines are £75 each, although seem to be based in West Wales. Seeing as how Frank N Stein can't be emulated it would probably be worth someone getting...not me though, no more room seeing as I have 3 bandits already :O

You have 3!!! Do any of you ever struggle getting these machines through your doors? I want to put mine (when i get it) into my bedroom but think it might cause problems going up the stairs?

I have :

Cluedo SWP Touchscreen [JPM] in my garage,
Spiker the Biker AWP [Barcrest] at the bottom of my staitrs, and
Each Way Nudge [Barcrest] in the dining room, which I am selling :(

Getting through doors can be an issue, depending on the cabinet you use. Normal Genesis [Barcrest] should be, ok. Getting up stairs is another matter - they do weigh 120kg ya know!

Some delivery companies will carry upstairs, but need to be warned in advance. I wouldn't recommend getting one upstairs for safety reasons, but if you want to do it go ahead - I have no experience but shouldn't be too difficult to do.

I got a quote of £340 (inc. delivery) for club casino crazy cos that is a smooth machine. I don't have a set one in mind and don't know whether to get a club machie or a £25 one. I am going to call around the suppliers in aberdeen and see if they have anything. I am open to suggestions.
Someone just emailed me from australia offering £40 for the ball but i think i will see how much the bidding goes up to. For that picture it took me 2.5 days to inflate and then in order to get to my bed i had to wait 3 hours for some of the air to come out.
