Re: The Wonders of the Seas

Would think the window at diving bell will be a bonus payout, much like Wonder Win and Mystery, Win and Place etc.
Also looks to have been modified by operator to give free ball on a win. Have had this before on Wonders machine.

Re: Stripper not working (ooo err!)

I use a product (Peelaway) and have had good results on various surfaces over the years. Works like a poultice where you spread it on and cover and leave for a day or two and peel it off.

Re: BDR bandit

Many thanks BP. I thoroughly cleaned the route the coin takes and it was caked with all sorts. Probably never been done before. I’ve had it about seven years and apparently it spent 30 before that in the back of a cupboard. It's a very nice example. Initially the odd coin stopped at the brass gate. ...

Re: BDR bandit

Hi BP,
The first of these is the issue usually: drop coin in, depress handle, reels spin but, as you have said, depress handle, which is locked, and coin drops to payout tray.

BDR bandit

Topic merged - Site Admin. My bandit as of late has become very fussy about what coins it will accept. There has always been the odd one or two rejected perhaps down to weight, thickness? but now it’s almost every other coin. As has been mentioned on other posts these mechs are like a Swiss watch a...

Re: Tin cowboy allwin

Pics of inside if it gives any clues as to a particular maker or does it look like a one off project made by someone? It’s extremely well built as I can testify having had to get into it as the key was snapped in the lock which hopefully I can have made. The backflash is aluminium with either transf...

Re: The Wonders List

I did notice when comparing the fewer pay cups. One thing that did strike me though is the difference in colour of door compared with cabinet. Almost looks like it has been put together.

Bergmann shooter

6DC828C5-C56C-4CC1-85AB-561A9CADE883a.jpg Just collected another project (I’m questioning myself why) which for the foreseeable future will find its way to the back of the shed. It’s a basic shooter which has what looks to be an old Webley or similar air pistol attached. Although it looks complete,...

Re: Wonders paint

Not original cabinets Cheeky, made using CNC cutting technology, as close to them as possible. Have some machines with worm, a mixture of oak and plywood cabinets, so decided on a row of these. Think they will look good. One of the plywood cabinets looks to be rose gold which I like and will experim...

Re: Flashwin

It would be nice if it did flash win having four switches but I too think someone has had a go at replacing them and there is one extra. Doubt if any will work. This is way beyond. I will stay well clear of electricity and leave it to an expert. It would be nice if someone had a similar machine to h...
