Another classic from my era Ady......Another one I'd totally forgotten about. Just when you think!!!!! Good lad. Look forward to seeing if this can be emulated.

[cardie]

If it was mine i'd refuse the cash and just hand the machine over for such a small amount.

yeah i wonder if he will even ask for the money lol i no i wudnt lol

Erm bit late home, thought i'd be clever and go 'cross country' rather than the longer M23/25/26/20 route....


Left at 4pm there at 8pm, 70 miles lol--got lost ......home via the motorway hour and a half lol...


Anyway, glass, ROM and reels are home and dry

[Gazeyre1966]

Well done Ady. Monumental effort my son!!!! Let's hope this can be done.

I can see it on the local news tonight...

'Police are hunting a fly tipper who has repeatedly dumped what are believed to be fruit machine cabinets along motorways in the Sussex area'.

Didn't you bring the cabinet back? If not, where is it?

[todd1970]

Give them a quid and ask if they have change

Id feel really guilty as well just giving him the 55p for it..id need to say look m8 heres a fiver say no more.

[superbank]

Judging by the reels it uses its MPS2 so highly likely its a runner.

Yeah, it is MPS2 so no probs there

Nice one Ady, was going to take a look at this myself but decided against it as I have very little room. Then I had a mad ten minutes on the PC and bid on TWO fruit machines and won them both. f*** knows where they are gonna go!!

Amazing buy for 55p - well done sir!!

Just a scan example...

Bit pissed off, I scratched the scanner glass...you can see it just below the reels and on the 60p....

Not really a problem as it just means i'll have to scan those odd bits on the finished One to patch-up.

That looks bloody excellent! You really can't beat the quality of a glass scan.

Those scratches are really minor, mate. Once it's been resized down, it will be easy enough to rectify.

Plus it looks like it uses the exact same reel setup as Supatrack, so it will be a doddle figuring them out.

Can't wait to see the top glass to complete the set.

[Pook]

Very nice Ady, did you want to 38p as a cheque then?

[ady]

lol naw we'll let that ride Pook......


Thanks for the PM prior to the bid ending that if I needed cash you would help out, I appriciated that


--------------

Pook can you please check your PM's too.

[superbank]

Excellent glass scan Ady, thanks very much!!

In an ideal world glass scans could be done all the time, but impractical if you don't want to demolish the machine.

These put even the best photos to shame

Got the top done today......

Thats nearly my work done, just need the simple task of scanning the reels and Buttons now.

Send the ROM off for dumping tomorrow.

I have defaced the image as I basically don't want it nicked until after release, this is just an update. I'll PM those who replied showing an interest the full image once it's uploaded (big file lol)

Now we just hope they run arrgghhhhh!

Remember to tell FF that this was an FE job. They are just so up themselves right now Ady. I'd tell Pook or whoever DX's to put that at the bottom of their DX....lol

[superbank]

Looks superb mate!!

Good work!!

[ady]

Thanks guys, but in my view we all do a good job.

Why am I updating?.....basically I was sitting here the other day reading some release replies, and I thought something like this may make some really see what goes on 'behind the scenes'

So far, 55p machine £30 petrol and 5 hours.....yesterday 1 hour scanning.....today 2 hours scanning/patching.

Tommorrow £2 postage and time going to the PO, they need dumping...then to create a Classic and finally DX.......A lot goes on!

Glad you've got it done! I'll take a scan of the top glass, mate, if you're offering?

Since you've already had PM's asking, I'll just do a "personal" version for myself.

[ady]

Looks like this machine has had a few facelifts.....

We know its now cashfalls, but I opened the ROM earlier and thanks to Alth (I was picking my brains non-stop) he replied within a minute after I said it had M.T. printed on it....of course Money Trap!

Then the Main board had a bit of paper (dated '85) mentioning Loot Shoot.

The machine was a loot shoot then rebuilt in a cash falls using the old mps2 gear what is called greening reusing old gear to make a new machine, or as it`s got preston on it maybe the guys like they do swaped it from loot shoot into cash falls when the mps2 went down

Well done that man with the buy and hope to see it up and running over the next couple of weeks or how ever long it takes
