1974.

haha, you not getting off that easy! not old enough to remember but like you, interested in the details (would be happy to curate a page for Carfield/DN, Summit and aforementioned R.V.S. if it took off, maybe even Barcrest MPU1&2, if no one else up for it - maybe focus initially on periods of production for the bigger companies whose output spanned several decades, then compile master lists later?) lot of the 70's rebuilds, is difficult to know who was behind them without names on glass but sometimes you can make an educated guess, like when a MAM Inn Play Lucky Stepper turned up recently, looks to be a sister machine to Pound Maker/Pound Stretcher - guess there might be a whole separate list for "currently unknown operators Bell-Fruit electro rebuilds" and the like reckon there's members or folk around who have good knowledge/collections of some of the more obscure/less talked about games - this pic looked to have been taken in a row of similar machines know people have pulled images from ebay etc. for years, if they see something of personal interest - is a shame the gallery hasn't expanded as much as it could have done maybe someone is already working on it, offline, who knows just imagine the little nuggets of info and anecdotes that might pop up from time to time if we all got behind it

would be interesting to see (at a glance) what new games were competing with each other in any given season, any year, from say 1975-95 (and older) probably no more than about a dozen games in any year, from any one manufacturer (club machines and AWPs), for domestic market but be interesting to get input from members in mainland europe and beyond, on export games by british manufacturers (although some would be dual release, under different names on different stake etc.) a comprehensive trade paper collection would be invaluable for dates (years of release) where jackpot values fall into the generally 3yr bands (JPM, Maygay and Summit Coin were pretty good for dating final inspection labels/plates, some of the others carried less info) fairly big undertaking for any one person (to include all rebuilds) but yeah, could be done collectively, as a community effort (would be nice to be able to customise how the info is presented, so you could search by year/manufacturer/jackpot/game type etc. and kinda wants to be clickable (linked), for purpose of adding in info like photos of machines/glass/flyers/adverts etc., which is prob not gonna work within confines of current forum thread pages) maybe to start, a separate forum area and page (thread) for each manufacturer? (with person starting thread for that manufacturer undertaking to edit first post list as new info comes in subsequent posts, then discussion can run pages but list grows on first post of first page of that thread) people could start dedicated year thread pages too, if for example they had a particular interest in a certain year and pull info from manufacturer lists into a year list ... just a thought (pretty sure with the amount of games Nifty played in the 80's, if we could plug him in and download his memory banks we could have that decade pretty much sewn up in less than a week!)

Statto’s the boy mate he remembers machines barcrest etc forgot they made.

Your hired! When can you start Paul?

Might not be much help, but. on my system 85 machine only the flur lights worked. The game card was absolutely fine, the issue was a leaking battery

some jpm system 80 here

You're a star mate, thank you.
