Here's one for you... Development team. The older gent was Charles Weekes, a mentor, what a guy, we've all grown used to stepper reel units? They were his brainchild. More in future stories. Left to right. David Mead, Tony Braggins, Ron Watts, yours truly, Charles Weekes, Charles (Bingham) Hazel.

The guy 3rd from the left (Ron Watts) has an uncanny look of Mark Webber, the Aussie Ex F1 driver.

That's a seriously impressive pair of flares that Bingham is sporting!

Glad you got it sorted. I think arking only happens when electric jumps a gap of high resistance... So it's a clue as to what and where the problem is if in a fruit machine. It's running PCL Tec.

my guess .... as you look at the lineup person on the end to the right

Funnily enough I worked with Janshens when I was with Coinmaster, in 2001 I was at the opening of the casino in Sheveningen with Paul Heuvelman as we put a couple of 10 player Auto Roulette in.

Hi, This is a pleasant surprise. I was looking for an electro mechanical schematic for quite a while and came across a member on Ebay who prompted me to look at this forum. Have to admit I didn't realise the interest there was in older machine and gaming machine history. It was startling to see some of the TSB's that I sent out over the years and look at the print face being dot matirx or even 'golf ball' print heads. Being so close to JPM from its inception I have some photos and tales which perhaps some might find interesting so I will dig them out Anyway big thank you to riche100 for the pdf and look forward to perhaps getting a paper copy one day. Have a good one! Frank Bird

Next up is this old skool favourite of retro players up and down the country, Cloud 999. In the Zip file is two versions, a lamps blended and a lamps Un-blended version. I've added both if the blended version runs too slow on your pc then the un-blended one is quicker. On the Blended version you may notice a few lamps and the first reel "jump" slightly, this is cured in mfme v19 same goes for the speed due to the blended lamps it may run slower in v6.1 but again it's vastly improved when v19 is released. Now the Thanks Firstly to Kriss for the original 1280dx version used for the majority of lamping positions A Big thankyou to Line Up Chris via the Mecca for uploading Hi Quality photos of the reel symbols, its thanks to these guys who own the older or any machines for giving us the images/roms for these classic machines Finally to Richy1976 who has help greatly with the blended lamps around the cabinet edges form id'ing various lamps to adding the correct masks to them, and adding coin in/out effects. Shortcuts are as standard. So Finally Enjoy it like its the 90's and Happy Gaming!!! Cloud 999 Dx's.zip

Ha ! i worked for JvH Gaming for a few months but got lured away and worked for years with Janshen-Hahnraths (they were close with Barcrest). Good times with both company's though......and it was in the late 80's begin 90's .....

Please.

I have loads of stories, do you think others might be interested in the development of the products not the products themselves?
