Hi, I have a neat solution to the missing nominator although for the purists amongst you I can feel the cringe already. Please see picks of the original and a copy made using silicone putty for a mould and resin for the image. It does however depend on getting an original for the casting. MM P101000...

Thanks dirk55, I will try that and if it fails I will look online for a slimmer one.

Hi, I have checked the gears and they seem to have all their teeth and turning easily, freshly cleaned and oiled. Sorry meant hour hand, was typing and sipping beer at same time not thinking clearly. :woops: Having taken another look at it this morning, if the hour hand was slightly thinner where it...

Ooooook, home now and taking a proper look at the hands etc. I can see from the previous postings that the minute hand is soldered on, but for the life of me I can see how the dial plate then fits over the top of it? !PUZZLED! I have had just the one beer but even given that there is no way the dial...

Thank you 13rebel, got the gist when I checked out the photos. From your description I had initially thought the V was on the bevel of the minute hand, but all clear now. MM

Hi Derek. Thanks for the info, looking forward to giving it a try, but will have to wait till early next week as I am at my daughters' this weekend. Soldering will be the first attempt for me so any hints would be welcome. Nice to hear from you again 13rebel and if the V works instead of soldering, ...

Appreciated thanks Dirk55

Hi again, I have tried it several ways, that's why I contacted you. Sometimes the minute hand just dangles while the hour hand goes round, then neither hand goes round. Another try made the hour hand go at the speed of the minute hand and visa versa, then the hour hand just dangles while the minute ...

Ok guys, ha, ha, ha, jokes on me. Soooo if no one knows the order of washers and hands I will have to stick it in the garage as a failed project.

Hi all, well after months of huffing and puffing I am finally at the point of reattaching the clock hands. Problem is it has been so long I can't remember what order the bits go in. Is it washer; min. hand; washer; hour hand; washer; nut? Or are there less washers? Help please, Mei-mei

Oppps my mistake, should have studied the pic a bit closer. You are right the coin releases a gum ball which you shoot at the target. Bit odd though, the gum ball must get a bit battle warn with continual shootings, who would want it after that?

Hi, an American cent goes into a slot in the gun and you pull the hammer back and try to shot the cent through the hole. This then will release a gum ball in the side cup. I have a similar one and it is great fun.

'I've been watching this video last week' thank you so much Dutchboy, really helpful video. MM

Right hand pic on the right, just in front of the pinball machine. Looks like a trade stim shooting game. I have one. It works great. MM

Ok, so just dismantling the metal work on this machine and noticed that it is missing 3 of the control wires two lower ones in place top three missing. (See pics) I could really do with a blueprint, template for replacements or at least a diagram and measurements. Anyone able to oblige? P1010001 (4)...

Me neither but headmaster Pennymachines might come after you with a big stick. MM

Nightmare, I talk 1/4 inch ply and you guys talk poop!

If the back had worm, check and treat the case edges if affected. Thanks coppinpr, The entire in and outside has been nibbled. Gone over the whole thing with stuff. If you don't have an auction near you try Charity Shops. Thanks B.P. great idea. No auction houses near here but loads and loads of Ch...

I hesitate to ask this question, having stirred up such a poop storm the last time, but here goes. Does anyone know where I can get 1/4 inch ply to replace the back board of this machine. Woodworm have had breakfast lunch and supper for years leaving it looking like Swiss cheese. All the DIY shops h...

Thanks J Peterson, def my kinda DIY!
