Hi malcymal :D , when I made mine I used an old motor from a large microwave oven, the one that turns the turntable, I found it to be quite strong enough as it was only a small single pusher, you also have options on design, the slide can move front to back or side to side, you can have a double per...

Hi Malcymal :D , I made a single pusher a few years ago, I have done you a sketch of how it can be done ( pusher1 PDF ), I hope it helps. regards Stuart. Coin Pusher Basics As you can see from the sketch the basic coin pusher works in much the same way as a steam engine piston, it has a fixed base a...

Ok here are the photos of the 1956 Chicago Coin Steam Shovel ( not Williams ) as I found it :D ... it has been stored dry for a good number of years so the condition is quite good, although it has been home to a family of mice at sometime, evidence of some chewed wiring and a small mouse hole at the...

Hi :D , I have been lucky enough to get my sticky little hands on Williams electro-mechanical Crane :oops: Did I say Williams???... I think I need a better torch or glasses or both, as when we got it out in to the daylight and blew the dust off I found it to be made by Chicago Coin Machines :woops:...

Yes she is very good to me! :console: but then again I have had her at my side for more than 30 now, infact she is a...

Hi :D , I have been lucky enough to get my sticky little hands on Williams electro-mechanical Crane :boing!: and Mrs Slotalot says I can have it and keep it in the house :adore: , as far as I can see it is complete but will need T.L.C. and a bit of a dust to make it work again :-( ... I wondered if ...

Hi speedwell , Have you thought of posting some photos of your machine , it may help someone to work out what is wrong with your machine, Regards Stuart

Hi Jeremy , I think you will find the frost will have killed them all , but you might find traces of a manual for one wink-wink, nudge, nudge. If you know what I mean?..... By the way are you feeling OK now? Last I heard you were keeping the nurses busy.....

Hi Simon,
Is your Karat a floor standing model like this?... If so, I have a Bergman Imperator that has the same style cabinet. Maybe some of the working will be the same. If you post a better photo of the insides of your machine I will see if it is in any way the same as mine. Regards Stuart.

I like the Parkers Arcade Photos that you have posted in the Arena, I have a vague recollection of going in this arcade as a child..... GOD! I'm getting old, it must have been about 45 years ago ... The sad thing is, the machines in the photo are probably worth more than I am now.

Hi :D , In that case I would isolate the coil wires that will be hanging free, and try to turn the wheel with the machine powered up to see if the lights work OK before disconnecting any more wires from the uniselector, that way you will see if it's just the coil that's the problem :oops: .....
