okies i just picked up my 1st ever fruity its a bit damaged..
have a few pics see below..
it seems some where along its life some 1 took an angle grinder to the back end of the machine and cut through some of the wireing looms.... other than this it seems pretty much intact.
would it be worth investing time and money in repairing is my question and if so any ideas on where i can pick up the wireing looms ?
many thanks

okies after i have tinkered with this a little more i have found that the coin mech loom and power looms are totally shot...
another loom im not quite sure about seems to the reel and other lighting still detangling the wires atm.
the front lights loom is perfect along with the sound but thats like 2 wires and wouldnt be to hard to fix lol
well just keeping you upto date as i unravel the wireing

Most important question - did you buy the machine knowing that the wiring was damaged like that? I can't make out much from the pictures - it's gone midnight and I've been at the real ale - but I'd be interested to know why the machine has had an angle grinder put through the back of it.
The locks on these are nothing special. IMHO only a complete numpty would cut their way in through the back.

well tbh i didnt buy it i use a site freqently called freecycle and if it was not collected it was heading for landfill i knew it allready had the wireing cut when i enquired about it. i thought i could have a bash at trying to repair it.
im also clue less as to why an angle grinder was put throught the back tbh..
yeah sorry about the photos ill try and take some of the looms i have removed so far. the lighting was not ideal for the camera and it sometimes takes crappy pictures if the conditions are not perfect

well i got a quote for the power looms and the coin mech looms total is £35 + vat inc delv
the other loom that is damaged is all the internal switches and have been informed they are custom to the machine so might have to effect an repair but dont have a clue about the wiring inside fruit machines. thats if i ever get to the bottom of it and able to remove it from the machine.
