Check out our latest machines that we are currently restoring!
We will restore ANY machine back to there former glory. The cabinet and parts need not be present. On occasions we can re-print reel bands and often obtain programs.
So long as the artwork on the machine is good then we take it on!
If you have a machine requiring full service and would like our honest advice please contact us.
See our LATEST project here... LAST UPDATE 13/01/2012
MULTIGAME - BFM
This machine has been kindly donated to us by Richard. This is a VERY RARE System 85 BFM fruit machine like no other. The skill is amazing and the machine packed full of features and cashpots.
The most incredible aspect of the game is the skill pot, where the player must hit the 'Skill Stop' on the 3rd reel. There is a time limit of around 5/6 seconds so you have to be ready!
This is the FIRST video of the 'as is' condition of the machine.
MASSIVE THANKS TO RICHARD!
JPM's AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS NOW WORKING!
ALADDIN'S CAVE NOW WORKING! VIDEO COMING SOON!
CASH LINES
Early stages, but this is how Cash Lines has looked for the last 6 months or so whilst we have been busy trying to find a printer to help us.
Luckily this year we found a printers that was kid enough to help us.
Massive THANKS to Matt for bringing a thought process to reality!

SECRETS OF THE GOLDEN NILE - PCP
Secrets of the Golden Nile by PCP is a wonderful machine. One that we are VERY lucky to have stumbled upon. This machine did arrive in a state and needed a fair amount of work done to it before it finally ran. It had not worked for a number of years and had no decals and display issues.
The display is still without a backlight although now easy to see. We have sourced the LCD from Toshiba whom have been most helpful. So that is now under order and will be with us soon.
This machine is now fully running in our Gravesend arcade and is already a HUGE hit.
Here are some more pics of Secrets of the Golden Nile decal process:
 |
Top Glass Removal
We had to remove the top glass to get to the vac backing to enable the decals to be made. The original decals were non existant. So we had to play the machine in DEMO mode to establish what each win actually was!
|
|
 |
Decal Creation
We then needed to get the match to the original decals as close as possible. So we then cut a printed decal strip to size and then took measurements.
|
|
 |
Decal sizing and spacing
We then needed to 'overlay' the decals as they needed to be in a strip NOT seperate, so measurements needed to be taken and no room for error.
|
|
 |
Spacing to Laminate
The spacing was now set and the laminate now took place.
|
|
 |
Decals In Place!
The decal as an overlay view! See how we had to space them? What a nightmare. They now were cut to size to slot in the single groove behind the vac mounted onto the glass.
|

SECRETS OF THE GOLDEN NILE IS NOW AVAILABLE TO PLAY IN GRAVESEND!
This is our workshop in July 2011!
As you can see we have our work cut out!
REEL MONEY - JPM
This is JPM's REEL MONEY! As you can see there is a fair amount of damage. This was caused by the machine becoming INFESTED with MICE! No Joke! The machine is in a mess. The looms all need re-wiring. Have a look at what we had to do to get her running!
 |
The Machine
How it looked BEFORE arrival...like butter would not melt!

JPM UNTOUCHABLE
This machine is a clone of Indiana Jones. It has a 'Dick Tracy' kind of theme. Heavily featuring the MOB and gangsters of the time. As you would expect it has a New York setting. The audio is fantastic.
Currently the machine has MAJOR artwork lifting and severe air bubbles. We have been looking for this machine for a long time.
It is a long shot, but we assure you that we WILL do our VERY BEST to restore this machine.
See some of the shocking artwork issues:
 |
Top Glass
This is the top glass for JPM's Untouchable. It looks ok from this picture! It certainly is a flattering picture. The actual close up is very different.
|
|
 |
Bottom Glass
This is the bottom glass. It is horrific. The bubbling and lifting of the artwork is the WORST I have EVER seen.
|
|
 |
Winplan Close Up
What can be said? I have tried pushing the bubbles out...no luck. This needs re-printing.
|
|
 |
Character Air Bubble
This is the worst air bubble. I attempted to push the bubble out but I sensed that the artwork would crack, so I stoppped.
|
|
 |
Nudge Bubbles
It really is bad! It is so annoying as this is a SUPER machine! We are still hopefull. We are also mad! Lol!
|
|
 |
Reverse Side
See the bubbling!
|
|
 |
Reverse Winplan
It is so fragile. Both glasses are now on our sofa and will remain there UNTIL we can find a printer that will take this job on. I hope we find one soon! Lol!

How she looks at present :-(
Well this is how she looks at present, not great I must say.
|
|
MAGIC 7's
This is Electrocoin's Magic 7's, the ORIGINAL! As you can see there is a fair amount of cosmetic damage. This will not stop us! We have full permission from Electrocoin to reprint the glasses. Have a look at what she currently looks like.
 |
Machine Front
She looks OK from a distance
|
|
 |
Closer Look
You will see the ripples on the artwork now
|
|
 |
Reel Glass TOP
The ripple is on the 'mirror' print along the top. Also around reel 1.
|
|
 |
Close Up
look around Reel 1.
|
|
 |
Top Decal and glass
Its quite scruffy
|
|
 |
Bottom glass
Lift and peel in the bottom corner.
|
| | |
LABYRINTH
Woo Hoo! Work has FINALLY started on this little baby! Electrocoin's FIRST of the Egyptian Hi Tech series. Later following machines such as Mr Do, Dungeon Master and Street Fighter. I am not sure of the order, we will change if this is incorrect. Labyrinth is the one I remember looking at the castle in the middle when I was younger. I longed to unlock the castle and win the jackpot. I could never get on them in those days and I must admit it is Pyramid and Sphinx that I am more familiar with. As you can see the machine arrived in a STATE. No matter, we will restore her back to the way she was. This is a BIG job and will probably take a week, so please bear with us!
 |
Glasses are FILTHY
look in good condition though
|
|
 |
Bottom glass
Quite a state. All buttons are stuck.
|
|
 |
Feature trail
The entire 3D feature trail is a mess. Check the middle out....not that there is one!
|
|
 |
No Boot
The machine does nothing on boot
|
|
 |
Inside
A mess and I really do not know where to begin
|
|
 |
Payout Unit
Er.....a mess is the only word I can describe it as
|
|
 |
Feature Board Removal
LOL!
|
|
 |
Inside view
Looks mad....you can see on the buses!
|
|
 |
Not Easy
Here is the vac removed and feature board. Off to get some glue I think!
|
|
 |
Ah .... couldn't forget these¬
The reels will be deep cleaned and tidied.
