WibbleWobble Posted September 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 Thanks for the replies and checking in, to be honest I have been deflated and really down since the terrible news about Wizard broke, but thinking about it today has made me think that I should get it up and running and back to working, as some of the most pivotal pieces of information that helped me past hurdles came from the great man himself. I have even been looking at building a second cabinet which hopefully if I can work out how to do it, would have a 'trick' up it's sleeve..... @davep180 while you are collecting your bits, drop me a PM, I might have some bits that you could make use of, I have probably got a good few spare buttons and a coin mech holder, and possibly coin chutes. Offer extends to anybody else on the forum too, just know that Dave is collecting bits currently. Pete 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That machine looks familiar, I think I sent a few messages to you, after seeing it in action on Youtube. Fruit Machine Collector seems a bit miffed!

Road Hog Mad Posted September 23, 2020 Report Share Posted September 23, 2020 I mean to do a little documentary on it but I don't like the sound of my own voice (the wife doesn't either) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know someone who questioned why I had put it in that type of cabinet, my response was I could put it in a biscuit tin if I chose. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WibbleWobble Posted February 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 Hi Jwtech, I think you'll find some amazing threads on here, which make my efforts look in need of work. I need to create my new thread as discussed above, as I have updated the PC and mounted the Motherboard in the cabinet alongside the drive and other bits. The offer extended above still stands, if you are building a cabinet and need some bits let me know, I may have some buttons etc you could make use of.

Road Hog Mad Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 And then you'll get the bug of wanting to build another one after building one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Hog Mad Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 I have two of these hoppers, I had to position them funny within my cabinet which is small to allow for payout. I didn't know they could PAY THROUGH, I assume if they are together a £1 coin can pas through another hopper to payout? I also had to make my own over flow, so when the £1 was full it would start boxing, did you have any ideas on that? I only managed to do it on my £1's and left 20p's as they where as you don't generally play a machine with 20p's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
