I bought a 1998 Each Way Nudge machine [Barcrest MPU5] on eBay for £105 [which I consider to be great value for money ] ..only problem is that I dont have a manual and I NEED to change the volume.

I think its so loud because it looks like its been in a Kebab shop, having had a crowbar attack at the cashdoor, and the volume would be loud to drown out the drunken ramblings and violence in the backgrounds

So, ideally I would like an MPU5 manual / Each Way Nudge manual, but I would be damn happy if someone out there just knows how to adjust the volume!

Thanks in advance,

Take a photo of the machine and put in a post. I will let you know if you can adjust the volume the way im thinking. if i can see a photo of the hold butons

[barcrest]

Can't you do this using a refill key????

[fruitymad2003]

Thats what i was going to ask him when i saw the machine.So there is no need for the picture.

I don't know if this'll help you, but i'd like to show it off anyway
Ive just ordered 100 bulbs from RS components, at a cost of £22.30 + VAT + DELIVERY!....although thats not that bad i suppose, all it needs it the volume adjusting and the bulbs replacing

The Refill key just displays the Hopper Balance, nothing else...Unless you are in test mode....
Then you can access an Audio test, but all that does [as far as I am aware], is say 'Channel 1, Channel 2, Both'.

If you need better pictures, let me know, ill be playin it and my cameras charged:)

Thanks for your help,

What you have to do is as you put the refill key in hold down the high button and then the volume controls shpould come up then press low to turn the volume down. let me know how it goes.

No luck at the moment m8, thanks for your help though, anything is appreciated!
Ive tried all sorts of high/low-button-holdery but no luck, tried it with key in, then with key in and door open, then key in door open and in test mode, e.t.c.
Im beginning to think that Ill have to pour cement into the speaker
I got a very pleasant reply from barcrest along the lines of
'Barcrest is a member of IGT, It is not our policy to offer spares or support to home users' lol

Are you mad? £26.20 + Delivery for 100 bulbs? You can get them from ebay much cheaper, and even if they are the new smaller type that makes no difference as people sell those on there too.

lol, 2 parter here..

a) Fruitymad2003, looks like I f***ed up, that thing did sort the volume out, I didnt read it right lol
So thanks for your help there

I know that eBay has the bulbs every so often, but non last time I checked, and I just thought that a new bag would sort it out quickly. Ill keep me eyes open though, so thanks for trying to save me money

No problem at all. Usually 50 sell for a few pounds on ebay, you can often get used ones (but working) from scrap machines on there for next to nothing too.
