I'm looking at picking this machine up for $80. Guy says it work fine but has no meter and he hit a payout and because the meter is missing it now gives an error message and that's it. Does this sound correct and would it be worth the attempt at fixing this machine?
Thanks, Jim

I owned a VLC. I'm not sure I'd take it for free.

wHY IS THAT??

A number of reasons:

- The games are fairly boring.

- The graphics and sounds are old.

- There's no button panel -- that makes playing video poker on them a pain.

- When the batteries die, the machine typically requires a reset ("zero") chip.  The chips are nearly impossible to find and can't be copied due to a special anti-copy "fuse" in the chip, so as the original chips break or get lost, there aren't new chips to replace them.

- Lots of random errors and very little support/knowledge about the machines.
