Nick, I am in Exeter, give me a shoutI think that's a bit unfair on @RudeDogg1 - to be fair lives on the edge of nowhere!
( mind you so does @ianw). Come to Exeter & you'll obviously be in the Centre of the Universe!
Back on topic: Great idea @Courtney Blush

Did the machine sell? if not is it still up for loan?, if still available I would be interested in a loan and potentially to purchase it
Sold
Thinking of temporary trade in 2024, swap one machine for another for set time.
Would l post that request here?

I don't think so mate, start up a fresh thread
Temporary trade - a swap loan - sounds to me like this is a good place for it.
I'd like to see some I'll show you mine if you'll show me yours action.
Those of us with limited pins don't necessarily want to sell, but to swap with someone else for a few weeks or months sounds appealing.
This feels like the right thread. Any objections?

Still the thread for loans offered (and requested) plus swap loans
Where a fee is involved that's rental and would be a new thread.

Hi all hope this is the right thread to post in,Im looking to loan out my fish tales it was going to a good member on here for a period but unforseen circumstances means this isn't possible now, you know who you are and I hope everything goes well for you, so I'm now looking for a respected or long standing member to have FT for a period of time in which it would need a playfield shop and any wee issues sorted I would buy all parts that's needed for this in fact I've already bought loads of new parts already for it, Fish Tales is in a Manny cab and in stunning condition with all side armour re-chromed and the like it plays fine but needs a going over.
Martin the delivery man has got it just now so it can be delivered to you in which I will pay for of course.
If anyone is interested in this send me a pm and then I can get in contact with Martin.
Cheers Brian.

A free FT for a few months and free delivery, all in return for them doing some repairs and giving it some love. That seems like a great deal for someone! Hopefully someone who is handy at repairs spots this and takes you up on the offer.
Actually, you might get more people noticing this if you stick it in the normal for sale section with a For Rent tag on it as technically you are renting it out - just that instead of them paying money to rent it, they are paying with their time to do some repairs and give it a bit of a shop.

Thanks that might be a better idea.

Hi just an update on this FT will be going to a new home for a wee while thanks to those that showed an interest.

I have a Data East Time Machine that needs a home for about six months while I have some building work in my basement. It's a great game, but I do have a bias as my dad brought this home when I was a kid, and now I have done the same for my kids. I don't have too many connections on this forum so would need to be a member that others could vouch for / is active is lots of history here etc.
Ideal would be you take the machine for six months, then I would love to borrow one of yours for a few months, then we swap back. Or something like that.
I'm in London (SE4) and ideally you could pickup. Building probably starting mid-April so not in a massive rush and just wanted to see if there is any interest.

Is there a list anywhere, for the tables to borrow or rent? If not why not set one up? It could be updated, twice a month. Say on the first and 15th/16th.
People generally only loan machines to people they know as its a big asset to just send to someone without knowing the person.

Good point. You might loan out to someone, who instead of playing it themselves, puts it in a cafe. Then sets it for paid play, to get extra cash. Or something like that.
No, I don't think that ever happens. You'd be unlikely to make money.
The point is it's an expensive toy you're loaning to someone. You need to trust them to look after it, maintain and fix any faults that occurr.
