Title: Dream Factory Claw Game- Looking for Manual/Manufacturer?
Post by: AZDude on December 18, 2017, 04:26:20 pm
I just picked up a Red Dream Factory Crane/Claw game. I can't find a manufacturer ANYWHERE on the board. I really need the manual or dip switch settings- anyone have any hints/ideas as to where I can find it? I guess they made Red, yellow, etc- different colors...

Here's some pics of it and the board-

Does it look anything like the Dream Factory crane game made by NeoFuns?

I really don't know much about crane games, but it looks like there's a metric ton of them available on sites like alibaba, and based on some videos I've seen, it might be difficult to track down that specific game.  Have you tried unscrewing the PCB to see if there's anything printed on the other side that might have any form of name or model number?

Thanks for the reply. I have, and there's nothing at all on the back. I was hoping someone would recognize the make of the main board itself- then I could possibly track down the manual to it... The company who's name is on it is MIA or out of business completely. A repair tech told me they thought they were just a 1 man show who just flipped machines anyways- not sure tho.

I hope someone here can take a look at the board and tell me what it is!  Thanks!

If you want to rewire it then I have the board to another claw machine kicking around here, no idea if it is good though??

OOH! That's interesting... can you tell me more about it? Brand/model, how old it is, etc? I wonder if all the components could easily swap out with my existing ones? How much would you want for it?
Thanks!

I would only want my bottom dollar salvage money, $10 plus whatever it costs to mail the thing. I will try to find it over the next few days and give you the details.
