Ditto..looks interesting indeed..never seen that in the wild before.

Looks like a Hybrid of a Maygay and a Project.

super,smashing,great,..(if it works)...too far for me to bid...dammit:sad:


(i wont go up north....too frightened of the natives)

Ive tried to zoom in and it looks like its a token version as there could be what looks like tokens in the payout tray.Cant quite make out the decals but the usaul Project reel symbols are there.

It must be a rare machine then.

If something as rare as this pops up, then maybe one day Haunted House might just do the same.

Now that Bullseye has been done then that only leaves Haunted House as my only unemulated classic left to play again.

I doubt they are tokens, look at the coin mech, the token side has a metal plate in.

Looks like it is coin op and also states in the listing that it takes £ and 20p's. Shame i hav'nt got transport atm as it's only up the road from me.

I'm sure you are already this 'savvy', but for gods sake set up a sniper of some sort, I personally use Auction Stealer.

I've had many a bargain doing that, but it also saves someone else from sniping you with a stupidly low increase on your current bid.

Looks like a load of coppers, just done for effect I guess

I like to do it up close and personal two machines side by side. One with the bid ready to initiate, one with the time remaining and current bid on.

Software is just cheating, and if it fails you're fooked.

I've never been let down by software, but I have been let down when despite logging in say five minutes before watching an auction, I try to place a bid in the closing seconds and get told I need to log in again. I do it as quickly as I can (I'm a pretty fast typist, 80+ w.p.m on average) but by the time their slow server has acknowledged it, I've lost.

I don't consider it cheating anyway - all I'm doing is telling my PC to place a bid for me because I'm too forgetful to do it. In a *real* auction, it's easy because you are there and it's a short amount of time. On eBay however, I'd think nothing of placing a snipe bid early in an auction when there are days left, as even if I add it to 'my watched items', I may be out when I get the reminder email, and not have a good enough signal to place a bid from my phone.

Im pretty sure it went to a forum member anyway

I have played this in the wild circa 1995/96 and was one I was hoping would be emulated. I only ever saw one though, must have been a failed test.Plays sorta like Ace Emmerdale and those of that ilk, would block the top for ages by killing you on the square below it.Always remember the 'Rhythm is a dancer' sample it played on the gamble. Was in the Rat and Carrot pub in Manchester that was sadly destroyed by the 1996 bomb. Goes mental every now and again. Hope it was you who got it Guitar!

No, I didnt win it. I was told by the other half that I couldnt spend more than about £50 on it, including pickup, so I bid to £21.13 (I always bid an odd amount as its very easy to get beaten by a tiny amount. I was very tempted to just bid £150 and see what happened but I didnt fancy a kick in the knackers.

I believe it was a mecca member that won though. But thats up to them to reveal if that is the case.

Agree, I hope it was One within the FME scene..no reason why they shouldn't though...i'd be chuffed at getting such a rare babe....for the 'scene' or not or as a private machine.....then a few Pics wouldn't go amiss though lol

If it was the 40 million Jewel thief I will totally understand staying anonymous....
