Hi there i have just purchased this machine in new zealand and it is missing the game card.

Is thre any chance any may know where i can purchase one from?Willing to pay postage etc from anywhere .

The seller told me it was from the 60's but im not sure if it is.

[cardie]

if its from the 60s it probably wont have any electrical part in it apart from a light

barcrest were established in the 60s anyway

60's??? Very much doubt it will be from that era if it uses a game card, as they will almost certanaly be a mechanical setup, like often found on many pre 80's bell-fruits from the UK.

Guessing it would be more 80's which was when electronic machines generaly came to be, and if so, it's possible it will be an MPU3 or 4 mainboard, but as it is a NZ machine, would be difficult to tell without pic's of the inside of the machine.

See if you can get a few pic's sorted, and hopfuly one of our aussie / NZ members maybe able to shine a light on this issue.

Thanks for the info, It is an english 10p machine with 3 pound jackpot, it does have a port for some sort of card to slot into , but obviously this is missing,

Where would i be able to get a mpu3 0r 4 card from and any idea of cost.

Thanks again

The MPU 3 / 4 would looks something like this when removed from it's plastic housing (One from my Super Blackjack Club here, which is an MPU4): http://homepage.ntlw...it/PICT0003.JPG

With plastic housing: http://homepage.ntlw...it/PICT0001.JPG

The game card would be in the slot to the left on the last link.

I am guessing it's this game card and not the MPU that is missing?

If this is the case, we would need to know what MPU version you have (Most likley mpu3 / 4, and the games name.

Hope that helps?
Is there much chance of getting one?

I think the name of the game will just be Online there was a game called that but I am not sure if this was a barcrest original or a re-build.
