Nothing like a good fettling, it's legal as well

It's a shame I re-assembled mine at the weekend, could have took some pics. As said, mine was full of thick 30 odd year old grease as well. A quick clean, fettle and an adjust - it's smooth as a smooth thing. I did consider making something new up to replace the plunger washer but it shaped back jus...

Hi malcymal
That red +white one was the colour that was under all the paint on mine

Thanks for the info , that sorts that one out. Nice one

Well stripped all the cabnet down today, has a bit of fun getting the solid lump of glass out, well until I remembered I had a bit of nitromorse in the shed. A bit of that round the edge of the glass and she popped out. Re-assembled the arm mech and with an addition of a couple of `C` clips to take ...

If its any use to anybody, I have used these for chroming for many years, not the cheapest around but return excellent results on every bit I have ever sent them.

Hi rbrewerton, Thanks for the info , will be doing the mech after I do the cabnet but cant wait to tackle it. It does seem to payout ok apart from I hit a 10 coin win and it paid out 2 coins, so this could be the problem.Once I identify the payout levers I will have a better idea,guess I may start h...

Yeh, can see the paint has been changed, looks like original was all red underneath. Must say a great idea changing the 1p logo, chrome would look nice. Might email HP`s and see what they got. Took the coin escalator into work yesterday and gave it a good fettling, works a treat now. Much more relia...

Ok took it out and gave it a quick fettle + Clean. its working much better now as yeh was very mucky. The adjuster seems a bit different and as i read elsewhere on here there is a magnet and most of the coins I have are magnetic. This was moving the coins over to the side and dropping them down and ...

Thanks malcymal thats perfect, might have had to drill a hole in my wooden eye to find that plate adjuster on my own.

Thanks Again, Spot on

Hi malcymal, Thanks for the info, I will see what I can do at the weekend and let you know how I get on. A picture is as good as a thousand words, I have not done anything to it as yet and thought I`d do some piccy`s before I gave her a clean up so you could see how it was. I might try to get an esc...

Time To Get Up Again.......... Yup thats exactly whats happening. How dificult is it to source the correct coin mech for these? Did wonder what the window was for, be nice to have the correct one for this bandit, or are they (in classic bike terms) Rocking Horse Doing`s? I wont get time to do anythi...

Ok Uploaded some pics of the coin mech and a couple of the rear. The one of the left side rear where the pull lever is, is showing a bit of play in the linkage, will probably have a better idea when I remove it as it seems the play in it is stopping it returning fully. Ok lets see it these work, if ...

Hi Thanks for the reply will take some pics tonight and post them up. It does have a nice fitted plate stating 1 New pence but as you say probably built before decimal and all that, but dont use it as a rule. Just seen one of our sub contract engineers and bribed him with some extra work to fettle t...

Well after a bit of time having a look around I finaly got a Diamond 3 Star. I dont think its that bad a state just not been used for a while and in need of a good clean and a fettle.Inside is well sprayed and oiled and chrome os excellent. The only thing that is giving me a problem is when you put ...

Hi malcymal,

Thanks for the replies, very helpful.
