Thanks for that info pennymachines, that's really interesting. Would you say then, that machines running on 6d were or are more common than a bandit running on an old 1d coin, say? Did any bandits run on an old half penny, silver 3d, or even smaller, the farthing??

I thought about the 3d coin and so far haven't seen a bandit on fleabay for sale on 3d (and I've been looking for a couple of years). Do you think the 3d isn't popular from the point of view that people do like to use their old bandits as a money box on new currency? Both my bandits, the Jubilee and...

A Euro is very thick in depth, I cannot think of any old UK denomination coin that comes close to the thickness of a Euro. You would get away with running a 2 cent coin on a Jubilee mk1 on 6d, without having to hack the machine but payouts would be incorrect. Just stick a bit of card / (vinylays bet...

I can supply you with a 6d denominator badge for your machine and any other parts that you require, however it is not a sega case but a British made copy so would not have a Sega badge on it. Thanks, that would be great i will PM you. So when you say British made copy, is it a Buckhingham machine t...

Great flyer, well done. Basically what they are trying to say is "this machine will fleece your customers in very little time and you will coin it!". Much appreciated, I will try and get down to Pagham and get a video of this machine working which is still in use. The machine is still in o...

Now badpenny, you tease me with why jennings didnt have them either... so what was the reason ?!?! :mad: Was it a complete trust in the excellence of their products, or to keep manufacturing prices down, or to keep the arcade attendant busy running about with keys to dislodge jammed coins.. Come on,...

Playing on my jubilee mk1 today, coin gets stuck, i push the coin reject button and joy, works a treat everytime, coin returned..throw coin in the DO NOT USE BIN. Now my sega, when a coin gets stuck, there are two options... give it a gentle thump OUCH.... on the side to dislodge coin into reject tu...

I am after some parts for my Sega bandit.
I need a Sega/Mills 6D denomination badge to replace the ugly ' DISKS ONLY' badge shown in picture.
I would also like a Sega badge.
A 6d escalator coin mech.
Please PM me if you can help?

Oh blimey, Hammerite... Well I've learned something new today. I suppose because it was cheap, down and dirty to use, no brush marks and no spraying... I can see the logic in it.

My god, the man is a legend. BADPENNY, you are the man. Thank you so much. I found an imperial alun key set in the shed and bosh, worked first time. If anybody has got a 6D and/or Sega badge for sale please PM me and i would love to buy them from you! Once again, much appreciated.

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.

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...

Hi guys. I've got my second bandit, I think it's a Sega, you experts might think it's something else. I paid £50 for it from a private advert, it had 350 sixpences in its original cash box, lock present, no key, so a quick jaunt to the old lock smith to sort that out. History :- Machine been at a re...

Guys, im contemplating going for a bit of a wreck of a jubilee on ebay which will need cosmetics to its outer casing. Can i just ask you guys about repainting. How would you go about repainting, would you? 1) remove paint to bare metal and take to a paintshop to do the business using closely sympath...

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...

And there is one of these Streets Wheel Em Ins still in use where I live in an arcade in Pagham, near Bognor Regis, West Sussex, England working on the new 2p coin. Pagham arcade is tiny, near the seafront, been there for 40 years. If you didnt know it was there you would miss it. They also have a r...

I was a complete newbie on here and these guys gave me all the answers. I have a jubilee Mk1 'Silver jubilee' double jackpot 6D machine, since seeing advice its now fully complete and working. It took me years to take the plunge, i just sat back on Ebay, waited for a bandit to come up near to home (...

Nice item, looks very interesting and in good condition ! Thought it might interest somebody. Id like to go for it but a bit far for me. Malc

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...

Oop, yes an Aristocrat Arcadian. Now my wife keeps moaning at me saying that inches count, im not sure what shes on about ! OKAY, sorry, imperial inches are absolutely fine, furlongs, yards, pounds and ounces, quarts, any help greatly appreciated. Classic machine.... ha ha, well, the arcadian is a c...
