Re: Cam fruit machine

Didn't even realise that half of the letter 'O' was missing. Could have got a bit more off the price if I had realised. :HaHa:

I have only put a few coins in so far to test. The reels keep sticking, so not sure if it has a 15 sec play? What exactly does it do?

Hellomat Quarta (CAM conversion) identified

Bought this CAM fruit machine earlier today. I hadn't seen this model before so it interested me. I asked the seller does it all work? Mostly, they said. The reels spin, although then it sticks, and you have to move one of the reels manually to get it going again. It does pay out correctly on a win,...

What a great find. Great to see a vending machine that I didn't know existed.

Re: Jamiesons Skill Poker machine

No schematics came with my machine. Only info is what has already been kindly shared on this post. Quick question... the bulbs behind the cards are supposed to be 24 volts. Why would that be?? Surely the machine doesn't run at 24 volts??

Lyons vending machine

Bought this Lyons vending machine recently. I haven't seen another like it. Just had some keys made for it. Previous owner thought it was locked but it was just tightly shut. You can just make out the words 'penny bar' in the middle, and at the top of the machine the head of a lady. Similar to an O'...

Re: Jamiesons Skill Poker machine

Which part of the country do you live? Might be able to get both machines together to get them both working.

Had a washer stuck in the there, which was sending the coin straight to reject. I would never respray and put new decals on these machines. I had the fir...

Yz vending machine find of a packet of gum

Topic moved & merged - Site Admin.

Bought this old YZ vending machine, and got a surprise. Can't seem to find any other pictures of packets of YZ gum anywhere so I thought I would post on here. 7 pieces in a packet, don't you know!

Thanks for taking the time to post the pictures, I'm sure between the two of us we can get these machines working again.

Re: Jamiesons Skill poker machine

Tuffing, I have not got mine working just yet. I am intending to take part of it to my local TV repair shop. I can't find any footage of one in use as yet, or the almost identical Royal Flush model. Can you put some photos of your machine on here?

Re: Fry's reproduction vending machine or not?

Bad penny, yes I have never seen a wooden chocolate vendor either, actually takes 3 old pennnies and does operate, and like you say, it looks the part.

Fry's reproduction vending machine or not?

I bought this Fry's vending machine recently, and due to its price (£45), and looking at pictures of the inside, which looks brand new, it's going to be a later reproduction, but I have never seen a picture of an original example of this particular machine, and someone has gone to a fair bit of time...

Re: Rare vending machine Boomerang and Rolo

Brilliant, thanks Dave. Wasn't hopeful of seeing a picture of another one. Quite plain actually, with no artwork on the sides.

Rare vending machine Boomerang and Rolo

Bought a job lot of vending machines from Norwich recently. Turns out they came out of the old post office. Four hours drive later I arrived. As you can see from one of the pictures, they are a bit toasty, and some have paint on. This would put off most buyers, but I spotted a Mackintosh Rolo vendin...

Peter Simper hopper problem

Hello, I need a little help with my Peter Simper fruit machine. It has recently developed a fault in which the hopper continues to pay out until empty, causing me to have to turn off the machine. I have swapped around relays, but as yet no fix. Can you tell me what the most likely cause of this prob...
