Another update. This time, it's Hot Rod's turn!

Before I get into this properly, I need a little bit of advice on where three lamps go. The three lamps are, "Collect Or Go On", "Hi-Lo Gamble" and the, "Lose" lamp. The same lamps that are on Road Hog. I've looked on the glass, close-up, but I can't see where they're supposed to go. I imagine they would be situated near the Hi-Lo reel itself. Are there any Hot Rod experts in the house that can shed some light on the matter?

I used to play this machine all the time back in about 1993. I'm pretty sure the "lose" lamp is at the bottom of the key tag, where the ring passes throuth the tag, below the hi-low reel. But I'm not sure about the other two.

Hope this helps a bit.

That's one of them sorted.

Do you mean the area inside the keyring, or the area just below it? Just need 100% confirmation.

Can you take a small picture of the lamps lit, mate, so I can see exactly where they go?

What do the two lamps actually say exactly?

EDIT: Just noticed your last reply. I'm guessing that you don't have the machine anymore, so pics might be a problem.

Has this not been done before?

I did have a look for it after playing Road Hog, but couldn't find it.

[ploggy]

According to the layout dat-file, there has been three classics, and three DX's done for it. It was a long time ago, mind. I can find four versions in the downloads, here: Fruit-Emu (Fruit Machine Emulation) - Download: - Search

There are no Hi-Lo lamps as such. There's one lamp that lights up when you get a Hi-Lo opportunity, that says, "Hi-Lo Gamble" like the one that is on Road Hog. And another lamp that asks you if you want to carry on, or collect. Just need to know where the suckers go on the glass.

I understand know. I checked the layout you sent me, mate, and it's also missing the lamps that I'm stuck on. I'll get to the bottom of it, though, no worries.

ah now i understand what you are on about im sorry i could'nt help you with this if i come across it i will let you know:)

[kriss]

im sure there was some words near the spanner: bottom glass on the left....flog it or carry on/fixed it, something like that.

[andy-1]

there was words by the spanner they wre fit it at the top flog it at the bottom and they were used if you hit the spanner on the board

[ploggy]

There's no need to worry about any other lamps except the ones already mentioned lads. I've got enough information, now, regarding the lamps, so it's all plain sailing from here.

[ploggy]

All done here me thinks. I'll get it, "out there" tomorrow evening at some stage.
