Re: Temple’s Penny Arcade Trailer Project

So the flaps are back on, lined and finished. The lighting and trellises have been installed today.

Tilts to be added tomorrow, these will have scalloped edges hopefully!

Re: Temple’s Penny Arcade Trailer Project

He is a good friend and fairground painter. I will add a link to his website and his number once the job has been finished. I collect the finished trailer a week tomorrow then I can start fitting the machines. 😀

Re: Temple’s Penny Arcade Trailer Project

So I wanted the underside of the opening sides to look a bit fancy and here is the result.

Re: Bryan clock not working

I believe these are something to do with the tension for the payout lever. I may be wrong and maybe one of our more learned colleagues on the forum can advise.

Re: Bryan’s clock key to handle conversion.....

Thanks for the pictures Treefrog. I will have another look and see what I can do. Machine runs very smoothly it’s just the actual turning of the key that seems to be the problem.

Re: Bryan’s clock key to handle conversion.....

I have moved the pin to the bottom hole now. It cranks outside the case but is still very stiff. I wonder if the 2 springs are necessary but they appear original being still covered in blue paint.

Re: Bryan’s clock key to handle conversion.....

I wonder if anybody can check their machines to see which of these holes the pin is through please. It could be this that is causing the handle to be difficult to turn....

Re: Bryan’s clock key to handle conversion.....

No it didn’t have coins in. It was part of a collection from a retired showman. The number stamped on the machine is 979.

Re: Temple’s Penny Arcade Trailer Project

Thanks for the feedback. This is going to be an interactive historical exhibit. As such there is no direct gambling for a cash or any other prize. Those wishing to have a go will “buy” old pennies from me. They can choose to take them home or put them in the machines to experience this “living histo...

Bryan’s clock key to handle conversion.....

Hi folks, I am wanting to add my Bryans clock to the penny arcade. It has the Glenville conversion face. The problem I am having is that the key is so hard to turn that nobody can actually play it and I’m constantly being told it’s jammed. I noticed there is a machine called Fruit Bowl that appears ...

Re: Temple’s Penny Arcade Trailer Project

How many machines and what types do you plan to use? The trailer is small and will initially take 8 machines. I will look at what I have as most suitable when it comes back from the paint shop and I start to fit them in. The Octopus pusher will feature along with a couple of the Mills machines I ha...

Re: Temple’s Penny Arcade Trailer Project

So a couple of pictures of the shutters and also the first proof tracing of the artwork for them. I am basing the design on the Lakin and Co. style of Edwin Hall. The finished arcade will be period in style rather than new. Uprights and frame are all to be marble effect painted. Some of you coin exp...
