Need help if fruit machine brakes down

Post by chris_newton »

Hi all

I had a fruit machine a few years ago and loved it, thing was after about a year it developed a fault and i couldn't get anyone to fix it. I am certain it will have been an easy fix but unfortunately i had to scrap it.

I am looking to get another one in the next few months but my fear is that if something goes wrong i will be in the same position.

I live in the Teesside area and was wondering if i get one and it develops a fault if anyone on here would be able to help me out, obviously i would pay!

I really want to get another one but only if i know if something does go wrong i will be able to get it fixed.

Thanks all

Chris

Wow.... Nothing like a forward thinking purchase. Maybe I could offer you some sort of insurance, and throw in a free signed photograph of the back of my head?

Thanks yea I was on this forum before and I know it's a helpful place, but I mean if something mechanical breaks on it, something that simple advice can't fix. I just don't want to be in the same situation as before... As for stubbles answer.. Yea real helpful that!

Most of the time these fixes are easy ones. About 90% of the issues I have ever had were fixed by swapping the main board.

Just picked up an old fortune 500 sold as not working, still running on section 16. Been in a garage for years! Swapped the main board out, working again.
