Barcrest Numeric Display Brightness

Hi all. Don't know if this is a fault or not. My Barcrest Horn Of Plenty (which is bags of fun, and a good money box) is working fine, but the display is not that bright. Any ideas? Since we moved it to near the window it's notably hard to see the display without shielding it from the light. The wif...

Damn, I'm gonna have to get rid of it. The wife won't leave the bloody thing alone!!!!! Seriously though, we're finding it more fun than you can poke a stick at. And that's why we bought if. For £40 I think it's great. I've got one of the emu discs from ebay (£1!!!!!!!!), so I can try some other mac...

Got a few refill locks if you want one? If it comes with a key I'll take you up on one of those. Thanks. I did find the old one, still on the end of the wiring loom, stuffed into the back of the machine. It was very batterred and I don't have a key so I fixed a temp switch on it. Filling the hopper...

It's not there!! Just a hole in the cabinet. I haven't opened it up to find the wiring yet, but when I do I'll j...

Cheers for the replies chaps (and chappess'??). Didn't know about the 'lapping trailboard' verses 'pie gamble' thingy. Funny enough, I liked the look of the Smash the Cash machine, and a dealer has one in Kent. Not too far. As I've got a fair bit of time till I'm ready for it (weather delaying the b...

I just don't know what I want.

I just don't know what I want. Hi all. Jonesy from Essex here. As the title says, I just don't know what I want...sort of. What I do know is that I want a fruit machine at home. I've always wanted one, just never got round to it. But now I'm building a summerhouse/gym (read as 'mid-life-crisis) in t...
