Weight of fruit machines?

**lambbuster** · 4th May 2005, 12:01 PM

Hello there. Ive been looking at buying a fruit machine for some time (personal use) and stumbled across these forums.

Now, i was looking around and really there isn't a fruit machine that weighs less than 100kg.

Do you guys reckon its safe to have a fruit machine on an upper level of a house considering it is pretty weighty?

I mean, my widescreen TV weighs 70kg, but i thought i would just check first!

Thanks in advance for any advice!

i don't see why not, after all many people weigh more than 100kg. it would be a pain to get up the stairs though, why not just have it downstairs, then when your mates come round you can fleece them more easily?

Or put it in the kitchen so the "missus" can have a play when she's waiting to finish dinner

If you going to have them in a garage, make sure you've got some sort of heating in there or your boards might get a bit twitchy!!
