30 min TV Interview with Freddy Bailey.

That way I hit two birds with one stone, I get no end of cheap coins and about half a dozen calls a year regarding machines :mrgreen: Give it a try (but not in the Coventry area please)........ you can load your advert on line. No flies on you BP :cool: .... unlike Jimmy's cows!... I have not tried...

Hi Jeremy :D , or should that be howdy partner! Yes the Imperator manual… I had forgotten that you were going to post it !SMILER! , but now that you have remembered that you had forgotten to remember to post it you had better post it now before you forget, as I might not remember to remind you… anyw...

Hi Jenny :D , well done on finding the make and model of your machine, if you want to get it going the best man to ask is Harold :cool: he goes by the name Englishman11, if you look at the top of the forum page you will see the Members tab, look in there for his name, you can send him a private emai...

Now that gives me an idea. These Cam Girl types are nice, simple machines, and any reasonably competent handyman could build a replica, Hi Opp Bell :D , I am ahead on you with this one ;-) , I started to make my own version called Wild West a few weeks ago, I did my own graphics with the aid of you...

Hi Jenny, welcome to the forum, I'm sure someone will have an answer for you , it might even be me but if you can post a photo of your machine it will give us all a better chance of finding some info for you :thumbs: regards Slotalot.

Ah, I found it - but it's called Tipple Topple, which kind of makes more sense, I guess.
Senior moment there.

Anyone got one of these
Anyone know how it works is it some sort of reverse pusher

Hi Operator Bell, I would put money on it!
In his defence you always get lots of close up photos with his Ebay sales, so you can see just what you are bidding on :thumbs:

These images are great. Just on the subject of making your own award glasses and flashes, I can see that you don’t subscribe to the Mechanical Memories Magazine :tut … as I have just done a two part article on the basics of this very subject :cool: , Take out a subscription now… you don’t know what...

OK, So I didn't Own Them!!! :!?!: But..... My fascination with slot machines started round about 1962; I was about nine years old and on holiday at a caravan site in Morecambe. I’m not sure which site it was but it had lots of big rocks all along the sea's edge and mud for a beach. I remember it wa...

Hi :D , I have just been sorting through some DVDs & Videos ready for the charity shop and I found this :oops: The first ever episode of The Dukes of Hazzard , from Jan 1979.

Hi Jimmy... it's Stuart...
Yes it is, well spotted.... not that I can use it at the moment.... someone has plonked a BL***Y crane in front of it
All the best..

Well the story so far, I have managed to get hold of a copy of the wiring diagram which I have posted in the Resources section of the PennyMachines forum for all to see & use.. I have also managed to rewind the mains transformer as it had been eaten away by mice and would not work, but did like ...

Now you tell me! , Thanks for posting the info Andy G, I will make a note of this for next time.

Yes, I forgot to mention that ...and you will probably need all the loose change out of your wife's purse aswell ... Powder coating can be expensive... Come to think of it, that's why I painted it myself.

Hi, :D The method bryans fan recommends has worked for me in the past with quite good results. You can only get the wrinkle ( not crinkle ) finish paint in black. Hycote paints do one. I think you can get it on Ebay. When I used it, I put a light coat of white primer over the black finish before spr...
