Well 14 years after this post i thought i would give it a final update. As posted above i bought this in 2006 as a Winsprint and first but when the Fruit chaser £3 roms where discovered(2009 ish) i already had FC glasses so i started the reel band reproduction and made a set for FC. Then some Snappa glasses came available so i then patched the roms for £2 and JP tune on reaching the end of the maze and converted the machine back to the original out of the factory Fruit Snappa(Fruit Chaser was a conversion when the JP changed from £2 to £3 and the FS production run had already ended so a new top glass and roms where produced and changed out in local workshops or even on sited machines). All has been well for years but if any original parts come available they will always be added as i like all my machines to be as close to factory spec as possible. About 4 years ago i managed to bag an original Fruit Snappa reel rack and while the bands i produced where spot on you can't top having original parts. The last piece of the jigsaw is now complete with an original set of Fruit Snappa Version 8 roms discovered by ian at instance automatics from a disused operator which he dumped and emailed me the 3 roms. I only have roms 1 and 3 for FS version 2 and rom 2 from FS version 3 and they dont mix. Ian asked me to look at them as the roms in an old sys 80 board he found that had had no rom labels so he was not sure which machine it was(these where sat in my inbox for a couple of weeks before i had chance to look for them). The roms are now in the machine and running. It's taken me 17 years to restore this machine to it original state on leaving the JPM factory and oddly enough the machine itself is 40 years old itself in just under 2 months. Roms Reels And finally the fully restored factory spec machine on it's 40th birthday year. I got there in the end. 😁

Just found this when removing some old labels off the back door on the Fruit Snappa Rebuild. I bought this machine as a winsprint from dronfield near sheffield over 3 years ago it also has stickers on it showing it has been in the luton area. When removing the stickers i found it started out in life(2 weeks after final inspection) at the Raven pub in wigan town center (my home town-JPM STU will more than likley know the pub as well) I recall playing on the machine often which is now sitting in my house when i went in there. Sounds like a lassie film:D:D:D:D Have a look at the attatched labels Regards A8D
