Hi there.

We recently purchased for our own personal use a Barcrest Bank Roller fruit machine. Does anybody know where I can obtain a user manual? Or does anybody have one they may be able to send me a copy of?

One of the bulbs inside one of the reels has gone, so the user manual would be really helpful.

The machine is currently on free play, but we'd like to set it up so we have to pay to play, like a big piggy bank
Does anybody know where the jumpers/switches are located in this machine so we can set-up the cost/jackpot of the machine.

Thanks.

Just be patient and they will arive

Thanks Kallum.
Hope we can get this set-up properly. It's a real nice machine

I honestly doubt a user manual will help you with anything like 'how to change a bulb', that probably comes under 'Field Service Manual'.

Don't have one kicking about but sure someone else will.

Quite a simple job mind, although how simple depends on the type of reels.

You could always post a pic of them

Hi again,

If you could help me out with changing the bulb inside the reel it would be really helpful. I've attached two photos of the reel. The reel is labelled "Barcrest MPU4 Reel Assembly". The reel is the reel on the far right side of the group of four reels.

Also if you could help me with one more thing. I think we have a fault bulb holder in the machine. It based at the top right. Do the holders just pop open and when you close them again they pintch the wire?
Can i get any new ones from anywhere?

Picture below.


And back to my initial question about the "manual" and "jumpers". The machine will only play on freeplay with the bottom door open. If the door is closed it requests the manager because the hopper is empty. I loaded the hopper with £50 worth of pound coins and it still thinks the hopper is empty. Where do i locate the switch banks to change the parameters? How do i get around the "empty" hopper problem? And can i play on freeplay with the door closed?

Thanks for any help.
