Barcrest Frenzy £15 Fruit Machine Fixed

[@harry2.01]

I was playing a £100 version of Oh Ah Dracula in the pub last night. £50 lost. Four mega deals, mystery wins gave £2, £2, £5 and £2. Might as well have burnt the money. Whatever happened to amusement (with prizes). Barcrest used to have the fairest games ever.

AWP died an awful long time ago pal, that's the sad truth of the last few years of the amusement industry as a whole.

Well done over 2k subs and the series journey thanks 4 update liked that cheap roller coaster. @greenlabel

[@jonmincher625]

Proper, proper bargain, was expecting you to say more than that in the video. Gonna try and pull some strings tomorrow, will email if successful. Cheers JH!

[@JamesHardyFruitMachines]

No probs Jon, I think its more than a fair price for what it is.

[@jonmincher625]

@@JamesHardyFruitMachines Amazing price mate. Talking 20+ years ago now, I paid £90 for a Hit The Top (Barcrest Grab the Bank clone - I think) so yeah gonna pull out all the stops to try and make it happen, be nice for an Xmas pressie to myself lol :p

[@JamesHardyFruitMachines]

@Jon Mincher well its got a growing queue of people for it.

Hi. I have a QPS pacman fruit machine and it works fine on free play (with the door open) and all the self tests show all ok but when I shut the door and after it has initialised it shows ON/OFF ALM 48. I've replaced the power supply and Scorpion 4 main board and it's still the same. I've left it alarming for an hour and it won't reset. If you have any ideas please I'd be most grateful. Thank you.

[@JamesHardyFruitMachines]

On off alarm is a dil switch that is turned on, that alarm should go off after 30 seconds or so. I'd try flicking all the dil switches to the off position when off and try booting.

I've watched your channel for a while now I'm after a 25 JP barcode machine what will you have for me thanks Gary

[@JamesHardyFruitMachines]

I am a collector so I don't part with machines very often. I don't currently have anything with Barcodes on at all at home.

[@gaztriggerhaller8309]

Can you please let me know when you're selling a barcrest machine please mate Gary

[@JamesHardyFruitMachines]

@Gaz TRIGGER haller not a problem Gary I 100% will let you know.

[@gaztriggerhaller8309]

@@JamesHardyFruitMachines love your videos and look forward to seeing more of your great work Gary

[@JamesHardyFruitMachines]

@Gaz TRIGGER haller plenty of videos coming up over the next few weeks. Hopefully some good stuff in them too.

[@ChillSlots]

Nice frenzy mate that’s a bargain at 200, get that cluedo going!!😂

[@JamesHardyFruitMachines]

Cleudo I'll be working on tomorrow morning

[@ChillSlots]

@@JamesHardyFruitMachines Cluedo is a great machine, same ballpark as Great Escape. like you say can’t go wrong with the MPU5 my spice is right has never let me down in 12 years still a great machine. Cheers

[@JamesHardyFruitMachines]

@@ChillSlots they are largely the most reliable tech, I had a snoop at your channel and noticed you had one, is it on £5 or £15

[@ChillSlots]

@@JamesHardyFruitMachines £5 10p play mate, know it’s better on £15 but haven’t got the decals, but great machine either way bud. Cost me £57 from Guildford in 2010 not one issue in the whole time. And there was a couple of quid still in it😀

[@JamesHardyFruitMachines]

@Chill Slots always a bonus, I don't have decals for it but if any turn up I'll let you know.

Class machine mate chill out man

Where are you based?

[@JamesHardyFruitMachines]

Manchester area but machine is 100% sold

[@RouletteNation]

@@JamesHardyFruitMachines thanks for the reply machine looks great 👍🏼 well done

[@JamesHardyFruitMachines]

@Phil O'Mahony it was pristine to be honest.

[@RouletteNation]

@@JamesHardyFruitMachines Just out of interest your not around 35 to 40 are you and went to Greenacres holiday park in Wales around the 2000-2002?

[@JamesHardyFruitMachines]

@Phil O'Mahony no mate, definitely not as it's one of the few Havens I have never stayed at.

[@whatwhatwhat8908]

I think any program 1.0 and later doesn't work for the knockbacks. 0.3 definitely works.

[@JamesHardyFruitMachines]

This is 1.0 mate and defo doesn't. I cba searching for the doable rom set for Frenzy. I know you have beast. Plus I had a quick look online and only 2x rom sets available for it.

[@JamesHardyFruitMachines]

Send me the Rom set you are running on the emulator, everything I have found online is 1.0

[@whatwhatwhat8908]

@@JamesHardyFruitMachines The program in my video is 0.2 but it's a data p1 rom. Not sure if you can get it working but I sent it anyway. Also I sent you the 0.3 roms which includes the standard p1 rom and the knockback trick should still work.

[@JamesHardyFruitMachines]

@@whatwhatwhat8908 I have to burn the 0.3s because data port error in door shut mode, probably a bypass somehow but not going to mess with the machine. 0.3s getting burned so lets see.

Next in line

[@JamesHardyFruitMachines]

No one has emailed me at all over it.

[@jewishjason3944]

Is 200 quid a going rate for something like this that’s insane lol before all this retro hype that would be worth about 30 quid

[@JamesHardyFruitMachines]

A standard MPU 5 working updated about £125-£150 a decent one anything up to about £250. Prior to loads getting bought up some retros fetch upto about £1k and really sort after games £1k to £3k which is very top end. All depends on condition too and whether originals or rebuilds. A updated good nick Beast or Frenzy ball park 250 top end. I only ever buy broken due to the well known fact I'm far too tight to pay the going rate. If however I let anything go its perfect.

[@harryingram3472]

Il take it £200

[@JamesHardyFruitMachines]

Email me if interested please

[@SpendLifeLaughing]

Hi mate I know I probably asked you before but I’m really wanting desperately a nuns and roses machine they seem to be rarer than gold ffs 🤦‍♂️ please if you come across one could you please please let me know mate? Cheers? And all the best pal Danny.

[@JamesHardyFruitMachines]

You have asked, I have been looking but I've not even seen a Grand Blaster Cash yet, if I do I promise I'll let you know.
