Does anyone remember the old fishing wire, that clocked up loads of credits on bell fruit/jpm machines, or the strimming wire many years later.
I never used them, but i was amazed how they worked for many years.

Does anyone remember Ferndsey, he was one of the first Barrers, i used to hear stories that he would walk into the service Station & wheel out the fruitmachine, or he would smash the glass of the machine & pull out the £1 coin tube/20p/token tube & he would leave with a bag full of coins, i never knew him but he was one of the most wanted players out there.

Does any remember The Adders & Ladders & Viva Las Vagas, those were the old classics.
They were great machines to spend your 20p tokens. :P

I remember the old Ace trick:
Hi Flyer, Open the Box
Hi Di Hi, Pound For Pound, Grand Prix
Play It Again & Pay Rise,
The trick was going for lines as they did not register, the Jp was £4.80, those were the days.
