Welcome to Pachitalk

Hey, firstly thanks for the replies. Have any of you heard of the magic bar machine? Internet research seems to imply that they have a natural humming noise in reels, mine seems to be excessive tho...cures? Advice? Can I oil/lubricate them?? Any advice welcomed

[hanabi]

I think 'Magic Bar' was a 'Bellco' pachislo from around 2005, like this one?

Google Translate

Is the pachislo operating normally apart from excessive humming?

sorry I can't help with the noise question, except to say that some brands of pachislo are noisy and it can be normal for them to be noisy.

They were never designed for home use and the parlours in Japan have the volume really loud on their pachislos and pachinkos and you wouldn't hear any machine noises over that loud racket

hopefully any members with knowledge of that era of Bellco machines will reply and advise

[rover75]

Hanabi you are exactly right...its that exact machine as per picture link u sent above. Closer inspection of machine and i did infact find the "bellco" logo on it. Machine plays well and payouts are fast and accurate... Just this humming noise which i now gather is normal from reading previous threads. Thanks for all your help. Any other info u have, especially regarding this model would be greatly appreciated.

Do you have an app called Tapatalk? If so that is easy and I can tell you but if not there are other ways.

Your best is when you go to reply you will see a little icon in the response box with a picture. Hit that and it should pop up with a box that has 2 tabs. One says from computer the other says from URL. You want the computer tab; hit choose file and it should pop up and let you take a picture or choose one off your phone.

Thanks again to all who replied...would anyone have an idea of the value of this machine?

[Drunkenclam]

Value is a hard to judge. As it varies country to country and with the amount of tokens it has. As for the market in N.I. I have no idea. Check your local ads like Gumtree and eBay for ideas of actual sell values, not those who dream their machine is worth £1000
