Hi all,

Just got my latest fruit machine, Bell Fruit LORD OF THE RINGS "return of the king", and noticed the reelbands are in quite bad condition (reel 1 and reel 3 are dented and have a small tear/hole).

Can anyone sell me a set of reelbands for return of the king or point me to someone/a company who would be prepared to sell me a set?

I assume you can still get spares for this machine as its only a 2004 build?

Anyone know how much they are (after all they're only plastic strips you stick on?)?

Thanks! Martin

Have you tried contacting BFM themselves,or looked on their web site?,not looked myself but worth a try me thinks.

you will be looking at about 20-25 quid a set and bell fruit should be able to provide you with them

Thanks for the help/suggestions.

I have used Bell Fruit before for tech help, but their supply is only to the trade and they won't deal with individuals (or should I say they can't or are not set up to do it from an accounting perspective).

Any other ideas? I will try Bell Fruit tomorrow but I am reasonably sure they won't be able to help me.

Many thanks! Martin

You could try Reflex Gaming. They are 'greening' a lot of BFG games to rebuild into Fortune 500's and so on. Maybe they will have a set for you. Long shot maybe.

Failing that you could get the manager of your local friendly arcade to order a set and you can give him the money. BFG won't know that they don't have a ROTK...

Just wondering did you get this of ebay, its fairly new so how much did you pay, over 250 I should think?

[MartinB]

Yeah, ebay - paid more than I wanted to at £315, the machine is mint all but these bl***y reel bands !

Its a good price (at the mo) but in no time this machine will be quite easily available and loose money - but hey not much you don't loose on these days!

Fix them reelbands and I am happy.
