New to this forum so hope somebody can help.
I have just bought a second hand Simpsons machine and wondered if anyone would know the exact procedure for filling the hopper....how much to put in? what buttons to press.
I have a red one that says TEST on the side of the hopper and also a green one.

I also have a green button at the bottom of the machine next to where the change goes into.
Have one key to lift the lid and the same key to open the wooden door at the bottom.

Much appreciated if anyone could help me.

1st of all welcome to fruit emu

the green button is the hopper topped up button

the hopper holds £125 basically just fill ya hopper with £1 coins (via) the top of the hopper then press the green top up button

Thank you.

So does it have to have the full £125 coins? if not do you still have to push the green button.

Hope im not sounding too thick here...lol

nope

if u put around £50 in thats all it really needs.

u can always refill at a later date should u need to via the refill key/lock on the front of the machine

Only thing is --- if you don't place the full £125 in the hopper and press the green button, when you come to do a hopper dump (button in your cash tray drawer) the the machine will think try and pay out £125 and then you will get an error message saying it is short.

Just do another hopper dump when the hopper is empty then the machine will read £125 short, you can then use your refill key to get the correct amount on the machine
Hope this makes sense to you - trying to remember what I did on my Simpsons machine when I had it a few years back

Hi everyone i also got myself a 2nd hand simpsons machine. I wanted to know how i would go about emptying the hopper? I think its probably full as any £1 coins i put in now fall to the bottom. I saw something about a hopper dump?

Here is a link to download the manual - the cabinet will be different but the procedure will be the same if yours is an Epoch machine.

If they are not here, and what is definitely the case for newer Simpsons bandits, you won't have any luck finding them anywhere mate.
Only one that has been able to be made is the old M1a game.

Hi

If you mean emulated as has been said previously only the M1a one can be done at the moment.

If you mean the real machine then E-bay is your best bet thay come up on there all the time normaly saying thay are rare.
