Hi all, Ive just acquired a centurion club machine and ooh ahh dracula club machine. Both seem to work perfectly apart from a few dud bulbs.

The centurion is £200 jackpot 20p play and is adjustable down to £8 jackpot 10p play , it has all the extra decal sets to change jackpot/stake etc and also has the board manual. The ooh ahh dracula is £250 jackpot and also ohas a full set of decals plus some spare buttons and both the board manual and dedicated machine manual. Just wondered how much I should sell them for as I already have enough macines in my games room.

TIA.

IMHO :

Centurion is probably worth about £100, I wouldn't expect much more than that on eBay anyway. You'd probably get more for it in the local press.

Ooh Aah Dracula Club may fetch up to £175 on eBay. You'd get about the same in a local paper I reckon.

Thats what I would expect the machines to go for anyway

True, that must be a mistake. You may be able to turn it down to £75 jackpot on 5p or 10p play but not £8 (which would be tokens)

Nope its right cos Ive got the decals and Ive already set it at £8.00 jackpot 10p play, There is a chart on the inside of the machine and and a4 sheet that tells you which decals and dip settings to use for which jackpot/stake. I can post pics to confirm if you like. The dracula only goes down to £75 jackpot.

Heres a pic of the sheet . Sorry about ther crap pic( phone camera).

Hmm, I don't see how that can work - is it a 4 reel machine?

The old £8 jackpot used to be paid in tokens, and there is no way they would have them in a club machine.

Can see the pic but not very clear - it's go me intrigued though!

Yes it can, and I'm sure theres some games by either EURO games or GEMINI games which can also be played as 4 reel either £5>£25 and then £75>£250.

It says empire games on the machine but on the board inside it says barcrest. Just been playing it and its not bad actually, a bit lacking on features but the samples are quite funny.

It's a rebuild machine, which is quite common.

Basically you get a machine which in this case is Barcrest MPU5, with say smashed glass. You replace the glass with a new game (in this case, Centurion), replace the program card, use the existing Barcrest MPU5 and PSU e.t.c.

A 'new' machine in that it's a new game, sounds, e.t.c., but cheaper than buying a 'factory fresh new' machine.

Ahhhhh, I'm gonna put them on ebay unless anyone heres interested, I would realy like a popeye machine so hopefully sellng these 2 and my flashback will enable me to buy one (unless someone can recommend a better machine)

[superbank]

Well i have never seen anything like that before - how bizarre!!

4 x triple Bars paying just £7 when it could be set to pay £50 for the same stake - annoying and totally pointless I have to say!

Nice to see the decals to prove your point though - thanks. Made a few of us here surprised I can tell you!!

[fallwood]

OOOOH, so does that mean its super rare and valuable . Anyone know where I can get hold of popeye machine , I cant remember if it was good to play but the samples just stick in my mind for some reason.

[DildoDez]

Any chance of dumping the roms buddy?

[ploggy]

We already have the roms for this, mate. Some nice res pictures of the glass's, reels and decals would be nice though for emulation purposes.

[fallwood]

No probs, what res do you want them in, my camera is 6.1mp so the images will be fairly big, anyone got an email that I can send them to as they wont upload to the forum unless i downsize them. Do you want all the decals or just the ones for £200 jackpot.

[cyberface]

it depends what popeye you want? the old JPM? i have it sdat in my living room
