    I've seen at least one firm on Ebay in Europe who ship to the UK (I'll see if I can find any links) - though they seem more expensive. I think that we're lucky that the two we have got are v.good.

    well....... the guys at Slot-Pachinko told me that the US law prohibits them from exporting these machines to the UK.............. a simple sod off would have been quicker

    Hi,

    Strange as it sounds it is true ... There is a new law called ROHS which prohibits electrical items that contain a certain amount of lead, nickel and cadmium etc etc without it being tested fully and certificates obtained ( If the item is coming from anywhere outside of Europe). To bring anymore machines in i have to get that particular machine tested for ROHS compliance and to make it cost effective will have to bring in 200 of the same machine per container ... Lucky i have built up many different machines in stock ... lol

    Hope this helps

    Steve

    Hi,

    To be honest it is looking bleak ... Here are the costs on the testing that has to be done ( this is per model ) - I have built up around 2000 machines in stock and have a further 400 arriving in the next few weeks so should be ok for a year or two ...

    The unit MUST comply with

    The Low Voltage Directive, ( BSEN 60335 or similar )

    The EMC directive ( EN55014parts 1 and 2)

    The RoHs Directive ( after 1st July this year )

    The WEEE directive ( currently just the wheelie bin symbol)

    We can carry out the testing to EN60335 and the EMC testing to show FULL compliance, the cost for this will be £2650 in total.

    The Rohs testing is a little more difficult as it should comprise of chemical analysis. We can probably do a reasonable level of XRF scanning to find if the product is likely to comply, and give you enough confidence to create a declaration, however if the product fails there is not much you can do about it! The cost for the service will be around £1500 given the complexity of the product.

    So does this mean we won't get any of the newer machines here in the UK.
