‘ Refurbished coin-op equipment is vitally important to the amusement industry ’
Purchasing used equipment from companies such as JNC Sales is an ideal way for operators to try a concept before taking the plunge and buying high value new equipment .

Wbeing developed at present , buying used equipment is often the most sensible option , according to Tom Clarke of JNC Sales .“ Used video equipment comes with the obvious price advantages with these products being significantly cheaper , as well as being proven money takers and reliable ,” Clarke said .“ Although acquiring good quality used video is not always easy , JNC has opened good avenues for buying in used equipment from all around the world . We are currently building the second batch of Fast and the Furious Supercars Conversion Twin Dlx with 42-inch LCD which , at just £ 6,995 , is proving great value for money at the same time as providing a new experience .”
Clarke added : “ Used and refurbished coin-op equipment is vitally important to the UK amusement industry , as it allows operators to make changes to their arcade or operation without having to spend fortunes . It makes sense to buy used equipment if the price is significantly reduced , providing there is the necessary after-sales support .
“ After an indifferent start to the year for operators , the ability to spend large quantities on new machines is often not an option , therefore the used equipment option is the safest route . The time for the machine to payback its cost is a lot shorter and the machines don ’ t have the high values of machine depreciation that new machines incur .”
According to Clarke , large quantities of used equipment are suitable for companies expanding or ‘ dipping their toe ’ in a new area . “ We have received many orders from operators venturing into redemption for the first time ,” he told B2B . “ When all the other arcades in the area are doing redemption , it is essential that you keep up and offer the public the best experience .
“ Used equipment is a good way of trying a concept before taking the plunge and buying high value new equipment as you can see whether it will bring benefits to the arcade . With such a wide range of redemption equipment , JNC can fulfil the requirements of every arcade , whether it is starting from scratch or replacing machines . Part exchanges are also taken .
“ Regarding fruit machines , the introduction of MGD has allowed operators to put in more machines without having the additional cost of licences . Used fruit machines are a great way to increase that revenue without having to spend huge amounts on the latest machines .”
Clarke added : “ Visitors are always welcome to the JNC workshop and warehouse facility to view the machines where we have over 2,000 machines in stock . For even more cost effective deals , large discounts are offered for machines taken in an ‘ unworkshopped ’ condition .”
