Re: Stripping down Beromat mechanisms
I recently picked up a Lucky Strike Beromat conversion and I'm having trouble with the payout. It goes through phases of either paying 2 coins every time or paying out nothing at all. I don't know much about these machines, but it appears that someone has sped up the clock; the cycle is nowhere near...

Re: Hoopers Automatics
I wonder if the carved top on the above example has been added later to make it look older/more interesting. It just seems too elaborate and antique for Hoopers. It would be interesting to know if there are any marks on top of yours indicating the placement of a pediment. I bought the one from John...

Re: Sega Mad Money Jackpot
You may have got beyond this stage already, but I found this video invaluable when I was trying to sort out the jackpot on my Sega. www.s275603065.websitehome.co.uk/slot/video/mills_jackpot.asp https://youtu.be/DaqnR9lmX3s One of the key things seems to be to have it set correctly when you fix it ba...

Re: Cleaning up original paintwork
Thanks very much for the comprehensive reply Treefrog. I'll get some of that Simple Green. The main reason I went for it was that it was original unmolested as you say. You do take a bit of a chance with these auctions at the moment where you can't view but maybe that helped to keep the price down a...

Cleaning up original paintwork

Sega Bell Hi-top reserve jackpot help
So I’ve been on this site for a while but this is my first time posting. I have a Sega Bell Hi-top working on 6d but the jackpot stopped working a while ago. Having taken the plunge to take it apart I managed to sort it out but, in working out what was wrong, I realise that it has a reserve jackpot....
