I have the old Big Brother fruit machine and am looking to sell it. However, i cant seem to dump the money out of the back of the machine. I thought it was as simple as pressing the hopper dump button but its not. There must be £70 minimum in there and dont want to sell it until i can rerlease the money. Does anybody know how to do this at all? Could you describe how to empty it? Any help appreciated!

Open bottom door, turn refill key, press hopper dump, then press start.

My Translation:

"I have popped a button off a BB m/c in a pub and you can see the hopper dump switch, I've put a screw driver through the hole to push the button but nothing happened, can somebody help me please?"

Contrary to your rather cynical translation thats not the case smart ass. That may be the sort of behaviour which you are used to but my reasons are genuine and would rather not sell it when it has money in it. I bought it on ebay 2 years ago for £200 from a power seller that sold reconditioned machines. We have a pinball machine too. My girlfriend is moving in and I have no storage space any longer. I have graced you with a response to set the record straight for anybody who had genuinely tried to help with my rather inconvenient issue. Whilst I appreciate your witty comments I am sure you have better things to do with your time than wasting your time typing a pointless paragraph - go and rob the nearest granny to feed your habit.

No need! I know what to do if I see a hopper button.

But seriously..... you can't even open up your own machine?

Hopper Jam = Fail.
