That's great! I love my BC-25. I've got it restored functionally to work really reliably for my .984 tokens. One of these days I'll need to restore it cosmetically. BTW, where in Idaho are you? My parents live in Boise, and growing up in CA we took many family trips to Boise and Wendell to visit relatives.

We're in Eagle... which is about 10 minutes from Boise... definitely be sure to swing by the arcade when you visit next. We open July 20th. : )
 
80s Rowe changers are classic. I really want a BC-35 one day. Hopefully, I will be able to do that. Very cool.
 
I had a Rowe. But it was rusted beyond belief. Now i have an Ardac setup to kick out tokens. Still wish i had a working Rowe. Definitely jealous.

Awesome. I'll have to do that! Do you have a website or facebook page or something so I can follow the updates on the arcade?

Website underway... Send me a PM and I'll message you with details as they become available.

You're very welcome! I've had that thing for about 5 years now and there was no sign of it getting any real use any time soon, so I'm super happy to see it go somewhere where it can do what it was made to do :)

I originally got that thing because it was the same model I fed who knows how many dollar bills into as a kid and I figured I'd use it to provide tokens in my future game room. Unfortunately, the wife doesn't really feel the same way, at least not right now while we're limited on space, so she banished it to the garage :(

As for the manual, yeah there's one in the box I sent along with it. It has some water damage, but I was able to peel all the pages apart without ruining any of them, so it's definitely still usable. A PDF copy would be nice, too, though/ There's also a little status code reference guide, which will likely come in handy at some point.

And just as a bit of background, I'm pretty sure this thing was in a library since the 80s, so it's had little to no abuse over the years - damn thing is in pretty good shape, considering its age :)

Maybe I should have written 'Mattroid wuz here' on the back or something. Oh well! :D
 
Rowe changers are the tits.
Now get those entry lamps replaced.
Turn Bill B check OFF.
Calibrate P1 & P4 too.
Lube hopper chains and transport.
