Re: Bradshaw's Little Stockbroker

Mine did come from Margate. The guy had six, all of which he had sold (too cheap) to one guy. I managed to get him to sell me this one out of the six, complete with original locks and keys, for a little more than the other guy was offering (but still cheap). I'll be very interested to see how much t...

help needed with a "little stockbroker"

Topic merged - Site Admin. OK, so I don't usually work on machines like this, but I always wanted one and I'm giving it a go, BUT I opened it up and haven't got a clue how it works. I know they are pre-determined payouts. I believe this one is complete, well almost (see below), but I need to unders...

Re: Spot the Deliberate Mistake?

Fold a slight crease in the middle Putting a tuck in the middle is not a good idea and should be condemned out of hand. It would result in a sign that said "Pier Ase ments"| which could lead to confusion :tut Actually, I already have two of these signs. I had both created at the same time...

Re: Spot the Deliberate Mistake?

I suggest cutting a slot through the far wall and sliding the sign half way through, that way you can have allwins in two rooms instead of one with room for a possible four more saving money on a second sign, simples

Re: Ever hear of a Manhattan slot machine

The Manhattan appears to always have the Mad Money reels. The case is almost certainly a copy. A sure way to tell is to try a rear bonnet from a Sega. If yours is a copy, it won't fit. Check to see if the Mad Money is paying out. If it is, then yes, change the top box and it will be correct. I don't...

Re: That's different ......

Having bought three of these from a second story flat all on the same day, I can confirm, in a somewhat squeeky voice, that they are indeed the heaviest of all the mechanical slots !!HYPNO!!

Re: That's different ......

Are you saying this was always on half a np? That would mean that when it was new, a large payout of 20 coins would equal just 4 6d coins! A poor payout for a machine 10 years older! If you had gone into an arcade with this setup the long winter evenings would have just flown by !!SUICIDAL!!

They will sell on ebay and perhaps on the Market or Auction page. We don't have a lot of pinball on this site.

Re: Nestle Win a Choc

I've yet to find the right media for printing on a translucent film, but I've got a few ideas
I don't know if would work, but have you tried Letraset "safmat" adhesive printing film? It works on Laser and IJ printers. I use 8 * 10, but I believe they do bigger sizes.
