Twin jackpot is there and fully functional. The front parts for the gold award holding parts and the trigger arm are not apparent. I don't think this was ever a gold award version. Also seems like the mint vendor was never functional from the outset as the twist handle area has a fixed plate blockin...

Cabinet and the mech are original. I think the entire reel set is from another machine including the plates. The rear door is definitely not original as it doesn't have the Watling logo. Everything is pretty good with the machine except for the missing parts and it requiring a jolly good clean. I ha...

Text on the award card has Italian writing so assume it's that. Can't say I have seen a machine featuring a wild symbol before (The Joker/Jester pays for any symbol).

I recently acquired a Watling Rol A Top birds of paradise from an online auction. It is missing some parts: Coin return mechanism. Coin check lever/pin. Coin guiding unit. Unit for pushing coin into pay tube. It also appears to have a strange reel set on, maybe from a Mills machine I have attached l...

I picked up the Watling Birds of Paradise. From the photos I was sent it appears there's a couple of pieces missing from the mech that I will need to sort but the condition overall looked excellent from the photos. Will update when I receive it next week.

Conversion and restoration of this machine is now complete! Work Done: Cleaned and serviced the entire machine 3D printed new door tubes to convert to £1 payout Fixed the hopper unit so it pays out for all wins (Was not paying out on some wins before) Cleaned off old glass illustrations Created new ...

The machine has been converted by a home punter to these payouts, probably because the payouts appeared so low on original 2p. It would never have been arcade operated on 20p play because it wouldn't have taken enough money to justify the licence duty, and it wouldn't have had a £10 cash jackpot du...

I think it seems odd that lesser value symbols pay out more. £2 for the lower ones and £1 for the higher ones? Given that's based off the awful paytable graphic that could be changed? I am all for cleaning the machine and de-greasing it to get it on good working order. I don't mind the work, but onl...

Thanks for the replies guys! How difficult is it to change those payouts values around? A motor sounds likely as I think that bottom panel has a fire style light effects. I initially thought it was a speaker, not sure if this has sound or not? When you say "hacked-about" which bits are you...

I just bought this machine today from auction. It arrives later this week. I was wondering if anyone could tell me some things about this machine. I have attached some images and a few queries I have. Hoping someone may have some knowledge of this machine. ss+(2019-11-18+at+04.23.59).jpg ss+(2019-11...
