ANYONE EVER DONE THIS

As you might know I have a number of different machines in my games room, most of which are fairly new but a few older ones too. I often pick these machines up with a few faults, sort 'em out and put them in the room.

The other night I was looking for a few spare bulbs for a machine and went into my Trickshot, which has been out of service for almost a year, only to find almost £200 cash which I didn't even know I had!!!

I've also bought afew machines, got them home and found sometimes around £10 in £coins which have managed to slip down the side of the hopper or into the bottom of the cabinet etc...

There alway seems to be some coins in every machine I get.

I was given a machine recently that turned out to have £25 in the tubes/ cashbox!
Nice bonus. :)

opposite way round for me...

i sold my pcb a few years ago on ebay, and realised after they'd picked it up that i hadnt emptied the cashboxes in the bottom...

i was too embarrassed to even email them about it..

estimated i was about £30 out of pocket!

##oops!

How much did you sell the machine for?
A decent amount I hope...
