After spending god knows how long getting these two sorted and good, I now need to realise some cash for my two fruties. If anyone would like to offer a valuation; or even make an offer to buy, I would be very interested to hear from you. I'm located in HG1 - about 15mins off the A1, nice and close to Leeds, York etc.

First one is an EPOCH Club Fruit'n'Nudge - fully working, full decals, a few bulbs out, otherwise good nick. It has a fully updated NV4 in too (no back-box though) - the yellow paint around the buttons could do with touching up - I never got around to it. Modded the refil switch to be a 3 way - pos1 = refil, pos2 = normal mode, pos3 = demo. Great for home play.

Second is a 'Demon Streak' MPU5 in exceptionally good condition - only decals for £5 jp (and my naff printed ones for £25 jp!) - it's a really nice player for a low-tech. This is now set on 25p/£25 but can streak more than this.

Both cabinets are sound, locks and keys provided, usual stuff.

I've got some photos if they'd help, and can upload them later today.

Cheers all - please help these dearly loved machines go to a good home.

Edit: *begging* not even a realistic valuation?? please?

A shame you are in Yorkshire, I'm in the bottom of Wales. I'd have loved the Club Fruit 'N Nudge.

Good luck! :-D

[campaz]

lol 50 quid

[youbrokeit]

lol 50 quid

Each? Which one?

I reckon £50 is on the low side really, given the time, investment, and parts I've put into these behemoth boxes to get them to the state they're in now though... If you said £75 each, you'd certainly have a deal though.

Just make sure you bring someone with you to lift!

**** THIS IS MORE URGENT NOW THAN BEFORE, AS I DON'T JUST NEED THE CASH, I ALSO ****
**** NEED SOMEWHERE TO LIVE AFTER ME AND MY PARTNER HAVE RECENTLY SEPARATED!!!! ****

Where's the pic's ybi?

May help your cause a little?

Finally, I've remembered to put the photos up!!

For a low-tec, Demon Streak is not a bad game at all, though I would put it back on to £15 myself.

Harrogate is just a bit too far out for me, or I may have considered it.

[youbrokeit]

As you can tell, the decal in there isn't exactly "Original"... but it's functional.

The original decals for £5 j/p are included though - but no £15 ones.

Would it not be worth your while if the price was good? I can provide coffee / tea and
bacon sandwiches for weary travellers as an added incentive.

Photos of coffee / tea and bacon sandwiches can also be provided.

LOL.....I read this and though this guy wants a sale...

Then from somewhere came the admission to non-legit decals...

The rest Sarnies etc cracked me, lol nice reply ybi

[billnye5]

would you be able to deliver? and if so what would the total cost of delivery and the fruit machine (fruit and nudge) be to Weymouth? if you can do that then i'l put in a preliminary offer

[youbrokeit]

course I want a sale.

I wouldn't give bacon butties to just anyone!!!

Unfortunately, due to health issues, delivery isn't possible at all, though
if you want to arrange someone to collect, I'm happy to accommodate.

Minus the butties.

[billnye5]

If you could arrange delivery, but by all means don't hold it on my account, need to see how much mine goes for first and don't want to offer you too little especially because of the note acceptor (a savers dream)

Got two problems, one the size of a JPM Vogue Clubber cab (Lack of space, all 18.5 stone of the b'stard), and the other is getting DS up the same stairs that the JPM is gonna need to go down..... two sets of em lol

Also, will need to borrow me mate and his shitty little LDV, and have a free 1/2 day, as it will be a good 90 mins drive each way from east mids airport.

Hi

To answer your question from Manchester to Harrogate would be about an hours drive once your out of Manchester its basicly M62 then A1(M) take the Harrogate turn off and just follow your sat nav to the location of the machines. May take a bit longer in a van however.

What he said!

Thanks Cliff. The machines are located at HG1. They are on a ground floor, in the conservatory. There is a step down out of the conversatory onto the patio, then a short walk, and 3 steps up to a tarmac driveway. You may or may not be able to get a van down the drive, depending upon your driving skill, bravery, size of van, and how far the trees are leaning that particular day.

As for 'how much will I take'... I really don't know - prices seem to fluctuate a lot, and they're obviously going to be worth a lot less now, than they'd have been a few years ago.

I'd really be interested in your 'best offers' though, and if you don't want to put them here, PM them to me, and we can discuss. I'd also more than happily consider swaps or part exchanges, HOWEVER any part-exchanges must be SMALLER and LIGHTER than the items they're replacing. (i.e. not fruit machines!!)

Things I'd be interested in... LCD TV, Consoles, Mobile Phones, PC gear, Touch screens, or possibly a PC BASED fruity, that kind of thing
