I must admit I was very surprised as well, Space Harrier doesn't actually have a free play mode at all, so what they did was to run 2 wires up through the coin slot and fit a switch on the end of them which credited the machine. I have since removed this and completely dismantled the coin tower as I am in the process of restoring this part of the machine.

Hi matey, welcome to the forum.

I've never heard of the machine you're after, what is it, electronic, mechanical or what? If you can provide any more details about it, (a picture would be good) I will have a look around for one for you on my travels.

I've not heard of this machine either and I can't find it on the klov. Any chance of some more info on this?

Anyway, one of the places to look is on ebay, you can set up a regular search which will email you if anything is listed with your search parameters, this is how I found the Space Harrier I have. There is also a newsgroup you could try asking in, rec.games.video.arcade.collecting, someone there may know something. Also there are a couple of other groups you can join, ukvac which is on yahoo groups and www.jammaplus.com.
