Our Mission: Precision Engineering & Preservation
We bridge the gap between vintage coin-op heritage and modern electrical safety, delivering cabinets that private collectors can cherish for a lifetime.
Electro-Mechanical Integrity
We don't simply clean cabinets; we rebuild mechanical sub-assemblies from the gears up. Reel steppers are ultrasonically bathed, optical gates calibrated with digital oscilloscopes, and motors tested under heat loads.
Modern 230V PAT Safety
Vintage power units can harbor deteriorating transformers and hazardous wiring. Our team removes fire risks by fitting modern, switch-mode power units, replacing thermal fuses, and conducting formal British PAT tests.
Authentic Collector Aesthetics
Preserving original silkscreened artwork, bright chrome trimmings, and nostalgic incandescent color temperatures using modern, low-draw LEDs is an art form we have perfected over two decades.

Who Are CATC Fruit Machine Parts?
Operating out of our King Street workshop in the heart of Manchester, CATC Fruit Machine Parts Ltd was founded by enthusiasts who refused to let classic electro-mechanical amusement machines end up in landfill.
Over the past decades, we have developed a reputation as the UK’s premier destination for genuine restored machines, authentic replacement spares, and bespoke arcade builds. We strictly service machines for private domestic recreation, ensuring every reel cabinet operates reliably on commemorative tokens or free-play buttons without any monetary wagering mechanism.
