Oh dear, somebody's dropped a clanger. Welcome to the mysterious world of coin op and its participants. 😉

It's hardly a 'clanger'. These Watling-based BFMs are surely worth £230 complete.
I'll take it on, if you want your 230 quid back!

PM responded to.
Before that I appear to have received another message in error that I think was destined for you.

I'm rather incompetent as far as this 'e' messaging business goes.
It certainly saves on postage stamps, though!

Recipient: moonriver

the machine is complete other than the cash tray (which is also the cash box door) It is working,lights an all! I sold it as a cheap project and at £235 that is what it sold as. Moonriver has a long standing grudge against me (Ive never known why,I dont think Ive ever met him (?)) which is what all the ranting and hidden rudeness was about. Nothing was hidden on the machine,all was clear to see and the description was correct, Yes it has cheap locks,I thought it a bit crazy to put 5 expensive locks on a machine selling for under £250. He will moan about me,thats fine ,hes one of a small number who want to turn the forum into an experts only bragging platform (which is what killed the slot forum in the USA) .In 350 posts he has never once attempted to answer a technical problem or help a member, I checked. He thinks you a fool for buying it, your not, its worth all of £250.
Paul........


I'm assuming this wasn't meant to come to me, or maybe it was? Either way you couldn't have looked very far re my forum technical problem help. Off the top of my head I recently answered a reoccurring starter issue someone was having on a bandit because they weren't using series starters. ( You will remember you told them "starters are starters"), so I'm not going back down the list.
In relation to " turning this forum into an experts only bragging platform" you appear to have mastered at least part of that statement.

Maybe boxing would be a more appropriate sport !!BOXER!! Can’t stand football, girls game...
Interesting another new member has an identical machine on another thread and missing similar parts.....

There was a guy in Devon who bought about a dozen Bell Fruits, posted on forum years ago, but can’t find....we was going to restore some and saw he sold some bits as recently as the last month.....he may have spares left to help, all those needing. I will try and find his eBay ID for those interested

The message was sent to you by mistake, and for that I apologise, Im more than happy to bury the hatchet with moonriver, although I have never known what i did wrong in the first palace. I have never said im an expert and my intention has never been to brag, I do like to show my machines on the forum (which you may see as bragging,ive never seen myself having any machines good enough to brag about!!) and think every member should do the same to keep the site interesting but sadly few do, I do try and help people, and sometimes ill get it wrong (like others on the site) but once again, so few do try to help,but there you are..ive made my plea !SAINT!

Trouble is very few of the so called serious collectors on this forum will share......either worried about the criticism they may get, shy or just can’t be assed......comon lets see your private bits and share.....trouble is this thread will ensure it is less likely to be the case.....you only have to look how many machines have been added to the gallery

I don't know how the Gallery works, but loads of irrelevant items from my computer seem to be on it.
Can someone in charge delete them, please?

:lol: Looks like you have dumped your browser cache onto the site. Lucky you have not gone to any dodgy sites...

Never used the Gallery and just worked out how to add a picture.... You can go in yourself and delete your pictures or whole Gallery. Just go into it from the list.

Thanks, PM.
I have no idea how that happened. I tried to send a pic. to someone in a PM.
I wonder if he got it?
(Girls are more fun than football. Crowd violence is just as bad, though).
