Southport pier closed

Just a heads up for anyone planning to visit Southport pier, and the vintage penny arcade.
It is now closed for the summer season due to extensive repair. This information is from the Lancs live website. I'm not sure how to post the link here.

Re: Ruffler and Walker Earth Satellite repair help

Hi gameswat
This is the ball release from my R&W fill em up.
The spring loaded flap is the payout slide selector.
There is a very good animated video on the forum explaining how this works.

I'm looking at the photo of your index disc, there is a nut and bolt and washer holding the adjusting

Re: Bryan’s Clock Hands

Hi Dave
That is a spring loaded plate that can be adjusted to make it easier or harder for the blade to be inserted. For Home use it's better to adjust it to its maximum open position.

If you look at the position of yours i...
