No Way! Classic machine!

Skip it????

Are you fucking insane? These used to sell for £1000+ on eBay???????

It's a classic machine and worth a few bob. Is it just the nudge pot LED not illuminating and solely the bulbs in the hold buttons? Are there any other bulbs out that don't work even if a working bulb is out in?

The BBC do not allow their licences to be used for any gambling products. You will never see any more Fools+Horses or Dr. Who. That machine is pure nostalgia. I had no idea they were going for a K+, but your typical scorp2 of that era would be a nifty lets say whilst Dr. Who I thought, maybe wrongly would be more like £200-£300.

a whovian would pay more i think

You're most likely right. It's a bloomin' rarity that machine. I can't think of any arcade that still has one. I think maybe Mr. P has one, but apart from him? Time to consult steelfix's list of dodgy b+bs.

Do any of the oldies remember a machine called Money Trapper ?? It had a pyramid style feature entry and then a feature called Coin Shoot. Also had a Multi-Nudge where you could nudge all 3 reels a la number runner which was cutting edge at the time. Had a mad double or nowt gamble. Coin shoot could go big if it repeated a few times.
Gimme a Win-a-Gain or a Big Shot for nostalgia.

Right, that's it. This half term I'm definitely dragging my ass over to Gravesend to play some old shit.

Could do a Fruit Potty Mr Ps roadtrip

Maidstone is the bigger one but you could do both over 2 days, you will need a whole day between the 2 at least!

June/July maybe?

Do these have a lamp board? If not try another motherboard and see if the problem is still there.

Only trouble is, it's Scorpion 2 so will be hard to get a board for it
