How did you even know the dump would have stuff like that?   Did you just wonder around and simply come across it?   Scratch Head   Near me the junk yards (for cars at least) have all of their parts and cars cataloged.  So I can

I got on the net after I saw I needed a tube, I searched the tube part number and saw it was crossed refferenced to LG and Phillips TV's. I know I thru out a lot of old 13" TV/VCR combo units in my past. I have a large landfill by me that makes you sort your stuff when dropping it off. Two large dumpsters for TV's and monitors, another for airconditioners, another for microwaves ect...
So I figured how hard could it be to find a 13" LG or Phillips TV or monitor in a large dumpster. Turns out it is a popular tube used in most cheap 13" TV combo units. It is a RGB standard tube. Actually I grabbed 2 TV's and they both have the correct tube. Exact part number.

Just had to sneek into the closed landfill, security is weak there...not too many people stealing trash  Cry Laughing Cry Laughing Cry Laughing Cry Laughing Cry Laughing

Its a landfill not a junkyard! Gates across the road but no fence Silly Me! Just walk around the gate...high security Scratch Head They are just worried about you leaving stuff by the truck load when they are not there to supervise, could not care less if you walk around that high security gate and take something out.

But it was daylight, no flashlight...just a beer for the ride and a tape measure Crazy

Coors, throw up some video footage of that machine.  It's fun to see and hear the classics in action.

This is prior to the Fortune 1, but very simular. It only has a bell on hopper pays. No sound board or speaker in this machine. The hold buttons are just "Hold" buttons with a seperate cancel button. No credit option. Will post a video shortly. I have hit 4 of a kind a few times for 250. There was someone on here that had a few non working sound boards from a fortune 1. I have a plug on the mother board back plane that is labled sound. Maybe I  can get one of those an try to fix it and see what happens, just have to find him..and hope he did not throw them away no

Are you sure?   Scratch Head   From the outside, it looks just like a Fortune 1.

I found an intersting tidbit of information posted by a member a while back:

I worked for Fortune Coin Co. until "78 and I think it was about that time they were sold to A1-Supply (which I believe eventually became IGT).  The model in the picture looks similar to the units I worked on but I don't recognize the glass (it's been a long time).  Since the label says "Fortune Coin Co." I would think that it was built around that time.  The units started out with a logic box in the top consisting of 3 boards and a mother board.  I think that later, the logic was all placed on a single board but I'm a little fuzzy there.  The CRT's were originally stripped from Sony Trinitron TV's and the tuners were junked.


I've never seen the inside of a Fortune Coin Co. vs. IGT/Sircoma so I wouldn't know what the differences would be.  It would seem to me, though, that your machine is more modern than the one in the quote above, which would put it a lot closer to Fortune 1 territory.

I found an intersting tidbit of information posted by a member a while back (here).


Most fortune 1 have nine buttons, I have 8. On the other fortune 1 machines I looked at the hold buttons were Hold/Cancel buttons. I have one cancel button next to the draw button. All the others are hold only. Maybe different models had different button decks?? I am no expert on this by any means!! It is very simular to the fortune 1 manual but just a little different in some ways.

It looks very similar to my fortune 1 and its from the same year. I have one cancel button and just plain hold buttons on mine as well. They could be different but they look the same to my untrained eye  Crazy
