Both old Barcrest machines. Want to offload the RE as it's taking a bit too much space up so may put it on ebay soon.

[DildoDez]

A lot of people have PCB's or Club PCB's...one of Barcrest's better games.

DildoDez - you have a piece of history in JPM's Fairground - look after it mate! Incidentally there's still one in Porthcawl in one of the arcades in the fair. There's also a Hagar and a couple of Crown Jesters. I think the fair gets demolished soon to make way for apartments and new houses - hope these classic games don't end up going to the big fruit-machine graveyard in the sky...

The Fairground is gone a wee while ago. Sold it for £40. D'oh! If i'd known a bit more about machines then, i'd have stuck it on ebay. I dare say i'd have got more than £40 anyway...

Sorry to go slightly off thread.....But....


I went up in the loft today....and I saw this glass, I put that up there nearly 25 years ago!
My first ever machine, 10p for 2 goes and a 50pJP.....My mum went mad when I bought it

Be great if someone somewhere had this machine now with a broken glass....

homers meltdown
trivial pursuit

[cde3879]

I've just bought Psycho Cash Beast Club, £75-£250jp version, and can honestly say that it's one of the best machines I've ever played. Took a bit of work getting it upstairs though

I like the psycho play button on it, lets you rest your fingers while the machine does all the work - great for when you're wanting to force it too to see if it can be done.

Yeah I had that problem with a bird I met downtown last night....in fact I gave up!


As this is repeated by you on a Couple of threads you are obviously happy....good on you, be a shock when you see how much it makes though.

As you'll play it a bit in the next few day's it'll be interesting to see in real money (not %'ages) how much you will put in and/or lose..........Can you post the result back in cash terms.

hehe she must have been quite wide

Yeah will definitely keep a log of money in and money out. I'll do it over a week so you can see any patterns. Is there any particular way you'd like me to play the machine (eg forcing, taking medium wins, etc)?

The reason I asked this is on numerious threads the reply on 'payouts' is purely on %'ages.........however it's played (which of course it is), i'm just curious to the actual 'hard-cash' return (on what is a set % overall), it'll just be nice to quote somehing thats compared in an enviroment where it'll be played to death over the next few days.


Of course thers factors...what was won or played before you got it...........I just think it'll be interesting for someone to make regular updates without a %'age change....like..

Week One:-

Set at 90%
In £300
Out £190

Two:-

Set at:- 90%
In £700
Out £635

Just a proper insight to a real machine thats popular...and just wondering how it flutuates.

[Jimbob219]

I currently own a The Simpsons classic machine £5 jp 10p play. Also currently on the lookout ofr a big brother £25 25p play. I have found one and it is £350 which i think is quite a good price for such a decent machine.

Jimbob

You must be joking. You can easily get a Big Brother for about the £125 mark (plus postage) if you look hard enough

Anyway, update :

I currently own

Monty Pythons Flying Circus (Barcrest MPU5 Genesis), on £5/10p (I have the £25 decals and chip though)

Club Crazy Fruits (BFM Scorpion 4 Smiley 2), on £100/10p (I have the £75/5p, £100/5p, £100&£250/10p&20p Dual Stake)
----Note that the above machine is going to be replaced either by another Club Crazy Fruits, or possibly another machine, in about 2 weeks. Issues with reels and supplier has agreed a straight swap - I'll keep you updated

Cluedo SWP (JPM IMPACT(Video) Vogue), on 50p/£20 (I think, been sat in a garage in bits gathering dust - I will sort it out come Summer )

Austin Powers (Barcrest MPU5 Tall Genesis) on £5/10p (I have the £8 and £25 decals and chip).

[Jimbob219]

Oh lol... People who worked in the place said it would be the best price going... Ok I'll search around and have a quick check on ebay for a big brother.

Ps: What about your totp machine, you didn't mention it, has it gone to a better place?

Jimbob

[CanonMan]

I've currently got a Maygay Cluedo Super Sleuth on 25p/£15 jackpot and an ancient VFS Noughts 'n' Crosses, an old MPU3 rebuild, on 2p/£1.50 jackpot

The Cluedo Super Sleuth is up for sale at the moment, and I may sell the Noughts 'n' Crosses if someone makes me a reasonable offer for it!

Jimbob

I have a box of matches.....nearly new (One missing-but can be easily replaced, for 20p i'll do it).

A must at just £1.25 (fixed)....i'm a Tobbaconist....best price going..honest!

jimbob, if you have no idea, best advice from me.......Don't give it to others!
