Huge thanks goes out to midibob for his help. This board is now working

I would play it for a while to see if it suffers tube starvation before looking at the holds, Its not the most exciting electro and the feature is really all it has going for it. you can only stop the runners on the win line for payouts. All the other win lines are disabled... many service calls when this machine came out were for none payouts. Engineers would turn up on site to see the three bars left on the win line and the complaint was that the feature started and they went for the higher value bars rather than the runners.Totally ignoring the warning on the plate next to the start button which had to be pointed out to those that insisted it should pay out.

Well it isn't Brendan Foster. Had to go back for the keys last night. As usual, I managed to leave them behind. The machine plays well. The feature is unusual. It gives far too many holds. I'm expecting to find some extra straps on the hold selector, once I get time to open the back. I got the three bars, and it paid out the quid in big JPM 10p tokens. A blast from the past!

Well here's my bargain of the year ( I know it's only January 😊) saw this machine on eBay early this morning thought it was to good to be true £30 bid or £50 buy now so I just brought it it's only 40 mins from me so went over to collect it and was pleasantly surprised there it was they have owned it for over 30 years and it hadn't been touched or used for many many years so I got it back stripped it down ( didn't switch it on ) took the mpu apart and was mint but it had the dreaded blue battery but it hadn't leaked I removed it anyway cleaned all the connections and cleaned 30 years of muck out of the cabinet refitted it all and switched it on and it worked perfect first time only needs a new potentiometer as the one inside is cracked there's sound but it's just a bit quite it also had half a tin of 10p tokens locked in the bottom which was a bonus as there were no keys to look inside but for fifty pounds half tin of electrical cleaner and some elbow grease and here's the end result very happy another old classic saved IMG_0974.MOV

Collected this from Washington yesterday.

I decided to sell instead of trying to fix and the guy who bought it found it was the Stakes and Prize board that was faulty so he replaced and all working again. Worth knowing for anyone else who stumbles on this thread. Thanks

Here is a picture of the machine.

I love these machines, anyone selling one? I could swap for a wild cherry

Different type of game with the player controlling the reel start/stop with the buttons on the feature rather than a nudge. First BF electro machine using an LED count gown for the feature timer. My old machine from a couple of years ago. saved it from going to scrap.
