Re: Aristocrat machine

Just my view, but I don't see the Auction page in quite that way.

The re...

Re: stuck all machines on forum in auction section now

Spent most of my life trying to "pull a winner". Most of them wouldn't even talk to me :#:

Re: aristocrat machine

Nice to see the Aristo on the auction page, but have to say you're wrong about the unfriendy auction page. I used it for the first time to auction the Little Duke two weeks ago and it could not have been easier !PUZZLED!

Re: aristocrat machine

Putting it in the Auction is the perfect answer. I'll have a little bid for sure.

Re: Sega Victory

I dont have a lot to do with electro mechanical machines so I cant help much with the wiring but I do have a few basic comments, 1. if the solenoid shown above is rewired and had a new spring fitted it might well work but would not actualy do anything as it is shown in the photo, it does not appear ...

Loose reel bundle fixed!

Ever had a reel bundle on a slot machine with too much side to side movment? I have several and I've always had trouble fixing it, but today I came up with a good idea that works. Now, I'm sure all the gurus will say it's an old idea they have used for years but at least it will be on the forum now ...

Re: Tivoli slot machine

New reel strips are available on Ebay regularly, but check they are correct set. The missing lug sounds like an operator trick to reduce payouts. The slide is, of course, the usual problem with "pot metal" slides. If I remember, someone on the forum has dozens. CAN be mended with metal glu...

Here is a photo of a good condition version, so not a lot of difference as far as the case is concerned. A little work and good as new. Now what about the mech !PUZZLED!

Unearthed... early photo of BP & JC at Blackpool

Is this the earliest known photo of BP and JC?
Taken at Blackpool 1958, it's the choice of machine that is the dead give-away :o

Re: Bargains in the Pennymachines Auction?

I cannot believe you have another surely
Can you believe I never had one in the first place?
Never once said it was mine, only that I have it. To quote an old Ebay chestnut, I'm "selling it for a friend".

Here is a video of it in action:

once read that due to its size and weight you need to steady them with your hand otherwise they move as you pull the handle. Is that true? I also heard they were shipped here as new crated for 10/- ????? No not true really,the handle is more of a downward movment than a normal pull so its quite sta...
