Hi All Im Colin aged 63 and used to be addicted to fruit machines back in the 70s ...I have just brought a machine of my own its a Maygay Simpsons Bear Guide...
its all working fine with the exception of 3 bulbs which i have just ordered a pack of 10 from ebay...this seems a good machine because it accepts 10p 20p 50p £1 and £2 coins its 10p per play and £5 jackpot
I play it every day but winning my own monies is not the same but still good fun and a great money box

PS I have found on the internet 2 lots of instructions (user manuals) in PDF for this machine so if any one needs a copy just let me know and I can email them

Colin

Hi , thanks for letting me join. Just put a original £3 jackpot line up for sale but loads off older boards and newer boards for sale. If I can help then I will. Got a couple more old machines up for grabs but would like to sell 1 at a time. Thanx again.

Hi Guys,

Just picked up my first fruit machine - Can You Dig It, which has the EXTREME badge on although I think it may be Barcrest - £70 pub machine.

Works great and for £130 I reckon it was a steal, looks almost brand new.


Just got to find manuals now, any help, advice from you guys at this stage would be most welcome.

Mark.

Howdy everyone. 32 year old lad from Scotland. Was mainly interested in the For Sale section, as I've just bought a new house and fancy getting some machine into my own wee games room. Will be keeping an eye on that section I think, in the hope that someone can deliver one to sunny Edinburgh without breaking the bank. Cheers for having me, will explore other sections as I go.

Hi all, I'm Ian. came across this forum last week while looking for some info on my maygay king ker-Ching machine. I've had a few home machines over the last few years, strange as it sounds I'm more attracted to the tech side of fruit machines and their workings rather than the gambling side, I very rarely play the machines in pubs, arcades etc.
