50p a go??!!

F*** that!!

Funniest thing I heard about being sold on Ebay was:

Plasma Screen TV - 61 Inch Picture

The guy then emailed a 61 Inch picture of a Plasma Screen TV to the buyer. He managed to sell three at a few grand a pop before he was finally arrested :-D

IMHO most manuals are pretty useless, best bet is to ask on here and see if an engineer replies

What may be useful is a 'Field Engineers' manual, these go on eBay every so often, and I believe they contain all the error codes, possible board schematics, e.t.c.

A machine will weigh approximately 120kg when empty, and will be around 1.7m tall. I can get most machines, lying flat, into one of the new shape Mondeo hatchbacks, but ideally you want something at least 'estate'ish

Once they are set up, the only general stuff that goes wrong are the reels and bulbs. I get 100 bulbs for about £12, and pay around £5 a reel. You'll find that any repairs should be covered by the cash you'll save inside the machine

Cheers for that Ben, I have a mate with a van so shifting it shouldn't be too much of problem. Now to pick a machine.....

Well I got 100% payout ratio. 10p in, one cup of hot chocolate out. 8-)

can anyone help me tho on one game? iv seen a link to a screenshot but was wonderin if anyone actually has the whole thingmyjingy! Silver Ghost - plain and simple game but one i used to love playin in my 0 - 10s!!! im only 28 now, used to play it when my mum popped in the arcade on the way home from town!! i was about 8/9.

Loved playing the machine too, remember thinking £10 winnings in 10ps was the most money I would ever have in my life. I have never seen this machine in any arcade since the days I played and I have never seen it for sale either.
