wow really nice! a Vegas meets Japan thing going on. The seller mentions a second one,?? what are the odds you could get it as well? I have the sickness, disreguard last comment. 250 lbs, that is potential hernia, bring someone with a good back or a truck with a Tommy lift with you.

[Tony Junior]

brought mine out on a low furniture cart the just laid it back across the seat of the minivan. be sure to empty all tokens first or you'll be removing all the guts before powering it up. truth is i did anyway just in case someone lost a token behind a board.

Nice buy... no... nice STEAL, Jeff!!!
Looking forward to some pics of that one!

Barcrest have been going for years in the UK. I remember playing their machines in the arcades about 24 years ago and actually being able to find some hidden quirks built inside em. One of them on Barcrests was to hold the gamble button down as soon as you knew a win was coming in. This used to be a simple 10 or 20 pence for two of a kind and you would quickly hit the button so it could not go on to the lose light (so a double or nothing feature). I would regularly strip Barcrest machines out at amusement arcades and hide out for a few days armed with a mountain of tokens as everything over £1.00 was paid in tokens. At one point i was banned from every arcade in town which was around six. Those were the good old days, today you would get arrested, in those days you just got a boot up your arse. Nice machine. I didnt think barcrest made skill machines, i always thought the odds were controlled via a payout key which were changeable, or you could solder up the correct contacts to change payout ratio. Nice find, please put up some videos as i might of played this baby in its UK guise.

IT's Happened , hell has frozen over ..........the sky is falling ....... I told the wife i would be going to NJ tomorrow to pick up another machine and didn't even get a blink out of her ......just a "well i work tomorrow have fun ....." could it be she's just given in and accepted my sideline or is she just storing it up to broadside me later hmmmmmmm don't know women are just an enigma sometimes . showed her the pics and she's OK with it . strange !!!!!!!

[birdbrain]

[alstonj1]

i hope that base unbolts from the bottom would like to put it where i have my hanabi now . how tall is that apex machine exactly i do have a height limit on the cabnet i built ?

[compirate]

You might come back and all your machines will be gone!

My wife was the same way as well, I was a bit worried about telling her we had to go to Cinci to pickup a spin luck, Not a bat of the eye or nothing, Just a ' let Steve and Rhonda know we will be leaving them for awhile Saturday morning." After the first ten machines I thought they get numb or something.
I was griping about spending $600 on wood for her closet, she said its only 4 pachi. So it is there held in reserve for when she wants something. Your time is coming Jeff and it won't be cheap.
