Re: The Wonders List

I did notice when comparing the fewer pay cups. One thing that did strike me though is the difference in colour of door compared with cabinet. Almost looks like it has been put together.

Re: Bergmann shooter

Thanks PM, so possibly a Diana pistol, I’ve sent off for some pellets to give it a go. Will have a look to see if there are any markings on it

Bergmann shooter

6DC828C5-C56C-4CC1-85AB-561A9CADE883a.jpg Just collected another project (I’m questioning myself why) which for the foreseeable future will find its way to the back of the shed. It’s a basic shooter which has what looks to be an old Webley or similar air pistol attached. Although it looks complete,...

Re: Wonders paint

Not original cabinets Cheeky, made using CNC cutting technology, as close to them as possible. Have some machines with worm, a mixture of oak and plywood cabinets, so decided on a row of these. Think they will look good. One of the plywood cabinets looks to be rose gold which I like and will experim...

Re: Flashwin

It would be nice if it did flash win having four switches but I too think someone has had a go at replacing them and there is one extra. Doubt if any will work. This is way beyond. I will stay well clear of electricity and leave it to an expert. It would be nice if someone had a similar machine to h...

Thanks for the heads up BP. Looks a good match. I'll look into that. Hopefully not too expensive. I need a lot of paint. :)

It is a flashwin and I’m looking for a close up image of where switches are attached. Never seen one in the flesh before.

Working on a Wonders plywood cabinet resto. Is anyone familiar with the dimpled paint technique and how to achieve this effect?

Flashwin

Bought a project recently, first ever electromechanical machine and is in need of some repair. Can anyone please help with an image of what the set up should be. This is how it arrived.

Re: Shefras Extrawin penny arcade machine - Repair needed

Think probably way to go gameswat. I'll give that a try and, if it does go Pete Tong, at least I know it can be welded to have another go. With regards to the base Tom, I’m happier to remove as much of the worm as possible. It’s actually worse than it looks in the picture. It’s a sponge. I’ve alread...

Hello Bob
Yeah still a nice machine and appears all there. Not really a big job to swap that out. Was happy enough with the price mate. Allwins certainly up there at the minute.

Re: Shefras Extrawin penny arcade machine - Repair needed

Thanks Tom, not a big job, more an inconvenience. I’m not a fan of anything with worm. Don’t normally buy anything with it, historic or otherwise. It does appear from pics to be concentrated on the backboard, although a couple holes on the back rail of the cabinet. Will see how bad when it gets here...

Re: Shefras Extrawin penny arcade machine - Repair needed

:shock: Looks like I’ve got a bit of a job on my hands. :) Pretty disappointed that info wasn’t available on saleroom. Spoke with them after paying and to be honest was fobbed off with “it’s in the condition report on our site”. Doesn’t help when you're not bidding on their site but, hey ho, been fa...
