Road Hog

I wonder if we could get some pokie machines working on our cabinets, that take money and payout? @Sloth @woodsy @Amusements @Dave King

Painted! Job Done, video will follow in a few days

My inspiration came from these style of machines (see pics)... I suppose if you had an all in one PC you make one even more streamline. The only big items taking up space are the coin acceptors and hoppers. I opted for the type of coin acceptor on mine as they are simpler and a little smaller, they only intrude in to the cabinet by 4 inches max. You don't get the multiple coin acceptance capability but in reality you only play with £1's don't you? I don't go to the arcade and ask for £10 in a variety of coins. I installed the 20p hopper as I like the ability to play token machines (MPU4, MayGay, JPM 90's machines etc.) Why have the coin acceptor on the top right as standard and have the pain of routing coins, why not make it more accessible and easier to install? Hence the way I did mine. You don't get the MARS ME126 coin acceptor effect when you insert a coin, click click click clunk but the emulator emulates this sound anyway. Also after putting around £400 through it, the coin acceptors I have have only rejected about 2 coins which beats a common coin acceptor by a long way. Next job is the paint it! and I'll do a full lengthy video talking about it.

Ok, so the 20p hopper arrived, and what a better fruit machine to use, Road Hog...

Fanks, just awaiting the supplier to send me another hopper when they have one (seems to be a shortage), looking at the size they sent me it will hold about 1,500£. I've asked for a medium bowl specifically as a large bowl won't fit. My original plan of over flowing coins won't work as I've run out of room but I'm not bothered to be honest, it'll hold enough lol. Next job will be to fill any blemishes, tart it up and paint it. Gloss or matt?

A better video...

Ok, so wired up a hopper and fitted a bell fruit payout tray...

Ordered a payout tray just now from swallow amusements, still can't find any hoppers though!!

@Boulderdash lol, I needed a knob for the door, so yeah it one of B&M's finest. Here it is wall mounted in my cave under the stairs...

Another vid

Getting there, tidied the wires up, and installed the software which needs tweaking a little as it was for landscape and not portrait mode. Next will be the hoppers and payout tray when I come across any.

New video

Try again, it's unlisted now rather than private.

Aged well haven't I?

Anyway, enough of that, back to the build... Up and running sort of! https://youtube.com/shorts/iz4yZbdxmEc?feature=share

ohh no lol

If anyone wants to contribute some Richard Brian sticker to the project you are more than welcome, you'll have your own unique mark on a home build.

And for those who lost a crystal in the maze ... Turned the crud power on off/usb thing in to something a bit fancier. Holes are for the fans.

Bit of chrome surround to hide my crud cutting out and a little more progress inside.
