If you mean the machines that gave you up to five nudges (if you were quick enough) I doubt very much they have been emulated. The oldest around is probably Each Way Nudger from about 1976, but the emulated version is very different from the original, where the nudges were more random. ie If the jackpot is, say six nudges away, it will give five. Up to the seventies fruit machines were just random, mostly the one arm bandit type. Legend has it that an American called Wilkinson came over to the UK and had the bright idea of utilising the new microprocessor technology that was in it's infancy and used in the first electronic cash registers and adapting it to use in fruit machines. He provided the blueprints and Bell Fruit manufacturing was created. Wilkinson died in a suspect car crash a few months later, the assumption that mob gangsters had killed him. This is a picture of Bell Fruit in Lenton, Notttingham at the time, where they still are today ! Don't know if it still looks the same.

it's all about supply and demand i reckon.

Don't think there would ever be a demand TBH. The fact is they are extremely boring and repititive to play. Heresy maybe, but the truth. Was just playing 7 Heaven and realise that like most other machines, that they are pretty mundane.

there's 4 ways you can play these machines again. i'll put them in the easiest order to achieve a result for you.

1. befriend some old eccentric who has a couple stashed.
2. go see a hypnotist for a spot of regression.
3. get yourself a time machine sorted.
4. go on a fruitmachine forum and demand that someone knocks up pretty much the most boring emulator of all time just because you want one.

Go for 4, anyone would think he was asking a lot.

1970s machines are not boring at all , a simple machine with just holds and nudges is just as entertaining than a modern fruit machine , im 32 years old and was born in 1979 so 70s machines were before my time but i love them and allways will do

Agree about 1970's machines being boring, but just think, in 35 years time someone else will be asking for an emulator on todays machines and they too will be told that they are boring, then in another 35 yea.... Well you get the drift.

There was talk of emulating electromech machines of around this era on the MPU Mecca. I don't think it got very far though...
It's certainly a better place to ask than on here...
