Delighted to say I bagged this beauty recently! I only had one poor picture to decide in a very short time if I wanted it, good news is a courier has collected it for me and I will probably have a few weeks wait before it arrives! So we can all see together if it was a good buy or not. This was my guiding picture!

Have had the missing button decals redrawn by Mikonos, and the glass graphic has been printed and is on it's way to me, thanks to Mike for supplying good images of the buttons

Far too early. Come back on 25th!

Thank you, was described as not fully booting but worked previously so hopefully complete and not falling apart

Good bag. Top machine that

Merry Christmas

Brilliant stuff ,they look jist rhe ticket .

Good afternoon everyone. No-one seems to have posted in this section for nearly six months, so I thought I would. My brother moved house last year, and one of the boxes he found in his garage contained a lot of my paperwork, including, amongst other things, my 'O' level certificates from the dim and distant past. The box probably came from my parents' loft when we cleared it. Anyway, I discovered a folder full of Bell Fruit paperwork from when I worked there in the early '80s. There are various documents about fault finding MPUs (black box), adjusting coin mechs, cams and microswitches (electro) as well as schematics for Super Nudge Gambler, Nudge Gambler Mk3, Firecracker, 21 Up Mk2, Plus Ten Mk2 and Hot Dog. There's also a map showing how to find/access the factory in Leengate, a 'boozy guide' to Nottingham and information for the Hotel Talsta, which is where I stayed when attending my Grade 4 training/exam in 1981. I'm hoping the Nudge Gambler Mk3 schematic will suit my recently acquired Nudge Punter. I will try to scan the documents in the not too distant future - a job for a rainy afternoon. I'm not sure what I can do with the schematics, as they're a bit big for my scanner.

Things have kind of ground to a halt, as we’ve had a lot going on recently, family wise. Hopefully make some more progress in the near future.

I designed them on Tinkercad and got a local guy to print them. Tinkercad is really fun. Big thanks to MattyL for the heads up.

Yeah the guy is known to be good at what he does, he must have spent a good amount of time to just re draw the decal, and he is going to do the 3 missing button legends too

I went on Saturday and was treated to a warm welcome and free drinks. Can't remember shovelling so many 10p's into the slots before in such a short space of time but the sounds of the machines were fantastic, with the 80's music on in the background it was just like the old days. I got a few jackpots and lost a few gambles too. Glad to have made the trip, even though the trains were terribly delayed. My favourite was the JPM bingo fruit machine, forget its name. I remember some of them being really tight and nothing has changed lol, those being Chances Unlimited, Road Runner, Frog Hop and Fruit Snapper. Adders and Ladders is probably my favourite MPU3 shorter cab machine. Just a shame there were no taller MPU3's like Fortune Numbers or Strike a Light. Was also hoping for some BFM original Cops and Robbers. Maybe they will come one day. Overall a very enjoyable visit and quite happy to waste a few quid indulging in my childhood memories. Hope to visit again in the future.

Unfortunately not. There are literally 100's of individual layers. I can export sections/groups of it in PNG though. Here is the top and bottom glass (PNG) with no background (unlit), so you can cut out anything you need. And the top and bottom glass with backgrounds lit, without the cabinet or mechs. I will also include the reels that I made as bitmaps. reel 1.bmp reel 2.bmp reel 3.bmp
