After getting hold of the Pussycat club electro a couple of months ago, So pleased to say I now have Hot Dog to stand along side and to say I'm well happy is an understatement. I have been interested in collecting these two machines for many years and because they run at the limit of Bell Fruit's electro technology before being replaced by the MPU machines. The cabinets although tall and slim are still packed with as many panels, timers, relays, switches etc, taking up every possible space. Two great friends made this possible, Graham for letting me have this machine and John that took time out to transport the machine some distance up to my house, I can't thank you enough. Here are first pictures, Pussycat is only higher as it's on wheels, Hot Dog will be fitted with the same. Pussy Cat released first on 5p play £60 Jackpot and Hot Dog soon after on 10p play £100 Jackpot. Must apologise to John that his plays on Pussycat were not the most entertaining due to the machine running so tight and robbed you with very little win or nudge opportunities. Looking at the actual % setting printed from BF you can see why it was so tight, If you add into the equation any tampering from operators and the games ruined.. Once it goes though it's service the % payout and play interest will be greatly increased.

Ta fellas it was a good one. Ive still got to make 2 new doors, fit new rubber on the plinth and hopefully source a pay tray for the original tubing at some point. Will wrap this up for now I've had a good bit of help on here so thanks to, Martin for the machine... its at a good home lol. Dazza (H) for pics of the token mech wiring and a few great vids of the internals. Tony (Amot) for the psu... cheers mate, Phil F for the token mech and loads of tokens... he wouldn't take a payment... thanks mate really kind, Bf74 for the older type coin mech update. Also the technical people on here, Lewis as always, cannonman, Bob, Andrew96 Thanks all 😎

Nice one Ron,I've had the hot dog and it's a great game.as you say it's packed with relays even on back door.can tip over if not careful.superb machines.

Many thanks for this Clo.

Fantastic! Just shows again that this community are the dogs bollocks. Great stuff gentlemen 👌👌

Nice! Delighted for you. I must admit the electro-mechanical and all the gubbings are fascinating machines, I still enjoy a few games on my old Gambler which is running sweet and is ready to go the second you flick the switch. We need to some some video action I think Ron to really appreciate them?

Nice one Ron, always good to get your grail machines

Nice one mart and a nice post .Good work too 👍🏻

Finally sorted this old girl out. 😫😁 It was two pretty horrible wiring faults. Lamp multiplexer was shut down (overload protection) due to a wire being pushed into a different bulb shorting two Rows together and the start button Switch was a close but incorrect wiring colour, probably from something else fitted so it was just a lifeless black machine that did nothing. Unplugging the opto plug just was toggling the test switch which goes there... course it was lol. Pic of the board finished... green dots are replaced ics. Also a vid of her up and running 😎 20221215_230511744.mp4

Well it’s been an exciting week for getting contacts and machines offered. These two just arrived from the east coast right near mablethorpe where I used to play on them as a kid! So far had a flick of the power switch and got plenty of smoking Rifas as expected and boards that don’t look too great. Not going to get on them until the weekend but will post updates as I do I have already noticed that someone must have smoked while playing them as 4 buttons need replacing with the risers. If anyone has buttons please let me know as it looks like the only bits I will have to replace Couple of very quick picks until Sunday when I get chance to have a proper look at them. Got to move some machines to work now, totally out of space and need some room to work on these. At this rate will be having machines to work on for the next year. Exciting times!
