Were you saying that with an Irish 'quiz show' accent?

electrocoins BAR X by a long way, I really cant beleive DOND has outsold BAR X or one of its variants

DOND might be the best selling Hi tech though

Not as big as barX tho, which is
undoubtedly the most manufactured m/c
in the uk.

What a load of balls. Danoptra lost £82 million in 2005 and lost, on very late posted, accounts for year ending Sept 2006 £24.9 Million. They have not filed any accounts for 2007 and probably no one will ever see any.. Going into administration is the word in the industry. Danoptra are in discussion with their bankers to stay afloat. They own Bell Fruit who DOND BTB is their best selling AWP machine in TEN years ..... THEIR !!!
Please try and get facts correct when posting.
For your information best selling AWP in UK past 40 years , when legalised in 1968 is>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> BAR X.
Their no documented proof. AWP stats are complied at BACTA, their was a levy at one time on every machine manufactured and manufacturers do supply numbers to BACTA, but not always accurate. Anyway they only keep records for three years.
However, considering Bar X first showed up in 1983 and has sold good numbers since, it is generally accepted in the industry as the best selling machine of all time.

Hang on. just get down off your high horse for a min. I can only go by what I read and they don't state that CYBTB is THEIR best seller they state that it is THE best seller. They are probably only counting Hi-tec's though.

Yes they're unaudited but they're done.

My question wasn't the Million pound winning question it was just a light bit of knowledge.
I apologise unreservedly for the misuse of the word "Official"

They also reckon they've fot over 10,000 Video AWP's sited around the country & that it's going up month by month

They've got nowhere near this many - and nor has anyone else! Video AWP's are still in there infancy. There are afew hundred Juice cabinets out, about 150 Infiniti's, a good few hundred Players and a very small number of the BFG version whose name currently escapes me - but its rubbish anyway...

Video AWP's are the future... whether they are the "near" future is a completely different question

those infiniti's are by far the best of the video machine in terms of look and play if you ask me....
