One for MV maybe?
99p still with less than 12 hours to go.
Slight fault.

Fantastic at that price and easily collectable, as you say. Right, quick bit of clamouring up to the missus - would be a great fixture to add to my current shed-updating routine.
£1.25 at the moment, with 2 and a bit hours left.
Cheers!

And I guess that's easily fixed by having a few 20ps handy?

does it have a 20p hopper in though?

£21 - bargain, was that you Mr. Vinyl?
I paid £19 for my Flashback and that was spares and repairs only.
That said I'm still enjoying the game. On £5 the stop 'n step sticks where you hit it, so it's a real fun game, loads of ways to rip things and a real players game where you have to read boards based on steps and numbers. Completely JPMesque. That said I had a £19 top from FLASHBACK after it started getting a bit crabby, so I then forced for an invincible.
On 94% this is a viable option and at 20p play, £5 jackpot gameplay is more fun and more unpredictable.
You cannot unfortunately empty it (imo), it can, rarely, but it can take £6 for a board and with random losing gambles you can find yourself getting too greedy to whack it over %. It makes you think and you feel like you can get one over on it, but so far money is still dropping in the box.
The missus has zero interest in it, but is tolerating it in the house at the moment. Elegance payout is noisy, I'm hoping the neighbours don't mind it. £19 top...sweeet. clankalankaclanka etc
It can be ahead and playing hard to get or behind and dropping in numbers for nudges to mixed 7s with Impulses above step that 3 to a 1, there's your jackpot sort of thing.
Another good one is whack it in test, take bankroll and try the skill challenge. Impulses on the line, every single reel. No cock ups please.
Still a few little jobs to do on the machine in terms of bulbs (must get my arse into gear, it's only putting a cheque in an envelope ffs) to be fitted, one button to be repaired and a slight problem with the lamping behind reel 1. Plus general cleaning on lock assembly and interior of cabinet.
Other than that, it's ready for Christmas.

I didn't get it sadly in the end - although I'm on the look out for a few JPMs at the moment. After having a quiet word with the missus I managed to persuade her that it'd 'be no bad thing' to lay my hands on one.

Are the ones I'm really after - will keep 'em peeled. Looking forward to doing some tinkering!
Agreed though, that was a bargain!

"Has slight fault easy repair"
Never fails to make me laugh!
If it was that easy then why not repair it yourself...
