OT Fruit machine wanted

[Simon]

Anyone know where I can get a fruit machine other than eBay?

Have any of you got a contact?

What I’m looking for is an old style “One armed bandit” mechanical machine, maybe with electric illumination. Not too large. Preferably using current coins and in good working order. I’ll pay up to £150 + delivery for the right machine but would need to see a picture of it first.

Thanks.

I just fancy having one in case you were wondering.

Depends why your looking but....

Several emulators are available for PC's that take the original ROM images from full size gaming machines and duplicate the game play and graphics, skewed winning odds included !

Doesn't compare to the hands on experience of a real machine but interesting to test your hand without losing a penny.

Just a thought !

Thanks for the above. It's got to be a mechanical one though Andrew.

I bet Simon wants one so that at party's he can fleece his guests, or take the revenue for mods

you need to look at the Vintage Amusement Magazine - I believe you can access it online. There are quite a few for sale there from dealers and private sellers.
However (as with all things) condition, originality etc. will dictate the price, but your budget I`m afraid wont stretch very far if you want a mechanical one armed bandit - think in terms of twice that - minimum.
However - be very careful when buying - as there is plenty of rubbish around
