Re: English penny machine

Hello andydotp,

Thanks for the information. Looking at the photo I could see the "Your" part but I couldn't make out the spelling of "Favourites". Obviously you cleared that up for me. Such a wealth of knowledge around here. **xXx**

English penny machine

Topic moved & merged - Site Admin. Saw this on craigslist, thought I would share. I've never seen one like it - but that's not surprising considering my limited knowledge of slots, especially English machines. The wooden cabinet looks especially nice. Here is the link: http://minneapolis.craigs...

Re: Aristocrat questions

Isn't communication with an old git like me entertaining?........ yet at the same time boring Always entertaining (and informative), never boring. I agree with your de-gunking/clearance advice.

Re: Aristocrat questions

Does the kicker arm sit comfortably without the old face riveted on? Jeremy As the machine sits now, it has the old kicker installed without the face riveted on. I haven't tried installing new kicker without the face. Even without the face in place the old kicker still engages and spins the reels. ...
