Re: Bally money honey

Yes it should have an arm which will make contact between the inside ring and one or more of the outside studs. Looking in the manual I have this must be a very late model - all the steppers in the manual are the 'pinball' type solenoid steppers which I'm more familiar with. I'm not familiar wit thi...

Topic merged - Site Admin. I’m being sent one of these by someone (not sure if they are a member or not) in the hope that I’ll fix up the electrics to get it working again. Apparently he’d previously given it someone many of us hold dear - ‘Fencing’ of EBay fame! The one who caused the download pro...

Re: German Veromat slot wiring help needed

Well I certainly don’t claim to be an ‘expert’, but I’ve fixed quite a lot of EM pinball machines in the past so can usually find my way around EM machines. It’s not always that easy ‘remotely’ however. If anyone has any EM stuff they need sorting I’m happy to consider it at reasonable rates. Just m...

As above. What fire the label in the grey box say? Suspecting this might be a convertor too.

Re: Each way oliver whales slot restore

I think these backflashes were printed directly onto the plastic. You could replace by doing it the way Wondermatics did on their machines. I.e. scan and tidy the backflash on a computer and print onto thick card, then lay a 500 micron clear acetate sheet over the top before putting the hardware bac...

Re: German Veromat slot wiring help needed

No worked on this particular machine before but lots of pinballs. It is trickier without a schematic. Does the fuse blow as soon as the coin goes in or later after it’s activate the score motor? If the switches are gapped correctly and the tags where the wires join them are bent onto one another the...

Re: Rotamints

I can’t imagine it will draw 1000w. Or at least if it does then it probably is about to burn your house down. As above, I usually check the basics and if all OK plug it in while watching for any nasty things happening.

Re: Very Rare Wonders Machine

The same pintable as the one used by Elton John in the film "Tommy" was up for sale... That same pinball machine was on eBay for months about a year ago I believe at around £15000. Kept being relisted and didn’t appear to sell. Not sure if the guy on the programme was the same owner or no...

ID needed for this machine

Can anyone ID or shed any light on this machine?

It’s rusty but sound underneath it all. I’m trying to decide if it’s worth restoring it or just to move ot on as ot is for someone to enjoy the fun. Would be good to know a bit about it to help me decide.

Thanks

Re: Ruffler and Walker - What's My Line?

I’ve got a Many Happy Returns which is basically the same machine with a different backflash. If memory serves me you need 45 balls for it. You won’t get parts unless very lucky but if it’s complete you probably won’t need any. Most probs can be fixed in some way or another without resorting to new ...

I seem to have worked on quite a few trade stimulators recently. Just finished getting this one going and doing a bit of tidying.
