Re: Aristocrat Kingsway

Can you push the reels across, so the payout discs are closer together? If so, you might be able to cure it by putting a washer between the 1st reel & the mech frame.

Re: Aristocrat Deluxe 22 Payout slides and guide

Exactly this. I had the same problem on a SEGA recently, and all it required was a small adjustment of the dog & anvil.

Re: Shefras Plentywin

The coin tube should be easy to make. You just need a short length of tube of the right diameter for old pennies with a couple of plates welded on. I used 14mm ball bearings in my Jackpot allwin, made by the same company. Backflash looks to be original. As for top flash, give Paul Coppin on here a m...

Re: Old flasher unit identity

They stop the electrics from frying, if someone holds the button in for too long. Also, they are used in the payout circuit to ring a bell, when a win is achieved.

Re: Sega payout issue!

It's a square of rubber that dampens the end travel of the arm. Mine have turned to mush! If you're on about this rubber, they can be a bit tricky to get out. I've found the best way is to remove the bracket then drill 2 holes from the rear adjacent to the 2 lugs that fold over the rubber. Then you...

Re: Sega payout issue!

This is the pivot I'm on about. It's at the back of the machine, next to where the slide springs attach. The lever you can see holds the safety slide in place. Undo the screw and fit a washer that's smaller than the diameter of the shoulder and when you tighten it down, it should clamp the lever in ...

Re: Sega payout issue!

The extra coin will be because of the removed safety slide. The coin will be filling the space where it would have been. Try putting it back, then lock the arm that holds it in the open position. You can do this by removing the shoulder screw at the pivot point, then put a washer on that will clamp ...

Re: Each Way Oliver Whales slot restore

The arm that hits the ball should have a rubber stop inside the chrome housing. They are usually hard as wood, after all these years, but I usually replace with some suitable rubber. Whales machines were made in Redcar in Yorkshire. Yours was probably made in the mid '50s. You can get pennies from U...

Re: Big Broadcast Pinball

Ace. Had loads of '50's/'60's electromechanicals, but never a pre-flipper machine. Some of them have really nice designs.
