Re: BRYANS PAINT FOR INTERNAL MECH
I'm a relative newb to this game but I have always experienced that when Hammershite comes into play things go badly wrong. Great for old garden gates, makes me nervous when people contemplate using it on anything precious.

Re: SEGA BANDIT - HANDLE NOT PULLING, COIN PROBLEMS
Ah Badpenny, I've been praying you would come on here and help me out! Much appreciated. So, there's definitely a spring missing. I'm just amazed that something as simple as a pin can activate the beasty. It must be extremely fine to get the pin length or spring tension correct. Can you see anything...

History :- Machine been at a re...

Re: Old UK slot machine located Picadilly Circus
Hey that's a good idea - give me some time and I will get down there and film these machines for you. I remember when I was 16, that's 26 years ago going down there on my Vespa scooter, and regularly being banned for using reel strips to aid my winnings on the modern machines when they nudged. I'm o...

Re: What's missing from this picture?
You could try posting on a German site, using freetranslations.com I've used it for communicating with French, German and Spanish ebayers and is surprising how you get by, they sort of get the idea. Just use as many simple English words as you can when you use it. I will try it for you. "Can yo...

Re: Weird MILLS on Ebay? anybody know about this one?
Anybody going to have a pop at it then?? I'm not, but if it was local I would. Perhaps we should have a whip around out of curiosity to see how the thing ticks inside.

Re: Jubilee mk1 bandit handle not returning HELP the newb
Well, the mighty Badpenny solved my problem identifying it was a mills pump in the machine. I set to work, the bleed valve was filthy, the rear of the pump was covered in orange foam, the piston was grimey and sticky. After a lot of cleaning and patience and a tiny bit of 3in1 oil on the handle fixi...
