electronic devices

Christ, this is an old thread its all in the sticky thread anyway

I dont understand how people can say the electronic device will mess up the machines programme and be in your favour like by giving IM after IM or rolling in JPs,

However why wouldnt it mess it up and then the machine stops giving boards and doesnt do anything, because if it was going to interfeare with the machine why not do against your favour?

The only proven method is rodding, and jamming with RF.
The effects of a jammer are indeterminable and inexact and unpredictable.The rodding is easy if you know what u are doing, and quick. The jamming is too, if u find a machine which is vulnerable.
Sparking also used to work on many, especially electrocoins.

All the above posters are correct, those 'manipulators' you see a re merely car alarm keyfobs and and are sold on some sites plus ebay. They are useless, you might as well wave a wet tea bag by the machine.

If it looks like a keyfob remote, it probably is.

maplintry this :rolleyes. Ahhh good old maplin

ok obviously a key fob isn't going to work....

What is sparking? how does this effect the machine? I'm assuming that the device would have to be in contact with the machine?

if thats the case then this wasn't a sparking device as the thing neveer touched the machine in question.

i found this on a site while was doing some research :

QUESTION: Can microwave ovens affect cardiac pacemakers?
ANSWER: As with other types of electronic products, microwave energy could cause undesirable currents to flow in the electric leads of a pacemaker. Implanted pacemaker dysfunction has been observed near electro-cautery and diathermy apparatus, radar and communication systems, walkie-talkie radios, auto ignition systems and even electric razors.

This is because devices such as these can generate electronic interference that can be intercepted by the tiny electronic circuits and wires of a pacemaker. If the pacemaker is exposed to sufficiently intense levels of microwave energy, unwanted currents can flow in its wires and circuits that may cause the pacemaker to dysfunction. While such problems are unlikely, it makes sense to warn pacemaker users whenever a microwave oven is in use. All patients with pacemakers should consult with their physicians for the final word on this matter.

So theoretically it is possible for a rf device to interfere with the electronics of a fruit machine, the question is how to make it in your favour.....
