The pawl on the right hand side is a good suggestion as its fine tuning is critical to the general smooth operation, however if it's out or loose then I'd also expect oodles of other horrors. I think by now, if everything is checked and appears ok then I'd be coming at this from a different directio...

An excellent photo and explanation from Badpenny by the way! Can I just add: The reason for the apparent randomness of the spin times is because Sega machines were sometimes fitted with a "randomiser". This consists of an offset cam having several flats around it, which rotates slightly o...

I suggest that the reels aren't always staying in line when the kicker travels under them to get to the back. They are kept in place by the arrowed piece in the photo. If the spring on it isn't strong enough to keep the reels in line then what you describe can happen.

Thanks Andy, you're a good 'un as that must have taken you ages and a lot of tracing paper! When I next see nursey I'll ask her to suggest to Mr Penny Machines that he moves your post to the resources part of his empire. She's due to rub down his swellings about mid day'ish. I tried to move it mysel...

That's what we like to see on here - a solution that includes 2lbs of ingenuity and a degree in bodge'ometry, well done that man!

Ok guys, stop dropping hints I'll go and look behind my compost bin this afternoon and see what I can find.

I can see you two moving in together

The vendor is a very respected member of the slottie community as is his dad. I currently have two machines in my collection from him that I plan to keep. A safe pair of hands to buy from is my opinion.

Which is how I get to add Jennings Governor all complete for £230 to the above expense list dammit! It's nice to see you can still get bargains out there, at least this should have put a positive spin on things.....I must start reading those freebies pushed though the letterbox, you never know ;-) ...

I can just imagine that happening on your milking parlour jimmy, does the yield drop if you haven't sprayed your oxters in Lynx?

* Not been into work since end of January * Front wheel bearing gone west (my car) * Alternator seized (Doff's car) * Gas boiler forgotten how to heat shower * Ordered new pvc windows for back of house a while ago, they arrive now. .......................... and then in local Freebie Ads: - For Sale...

Thems is brave words from a man who's still waiting for the arrival of his owner's manual regarding his Imperator, yessiree brave words partner, yes indeedee!

Senior moment there.

Anyone got one of these
Anyone know how it works is it some sort of reverse pusher

.......... don't think so .... that would make it a puller wouldn't it?

I can remember losing on one of those

The cabinets are pretty well the most plain of any bandit. The mechs are the same as Arcadians except most of the ones I've seen/had had playing cards as symbols same as the Clubmaster (in my view the most desirable of Aristocrats and worth between £300-£400) Although I've never been too sure of the...

Damn and blast, I had one of these up until a year or so ago, and could easily have scanned a transfer for you.
I'll chase up the bod I sold it to and see if he'll co-operate.

JC, you doubting so and so, I imagine he bought it from a certain auction oop north held on a pier .................. it's where I got mine from. My first machine was also a GW wall bandit, a Novomat £5. A few weeks later I bought a Hawtins Allwin £10, and then a single column Woodbine vendor on 2d....

To whittle it down am I right in thinking this is an Arcadian?

In my opinion you're paying for quality, I've had several over the years and have not experienced the jams and jackpot failures that Mills and others often display. If I were an operator in the middle 20th century I'd have wanted the reels spinning and not staff fiddling with sulking machines. I cur...
