Re: Mills or Sega Lucky Horseshoe???

Here is a photo of the mech side on showing the solenoid and micro switch. Hopefully this part of Lucky Horseshoe is complete.

Re: Mills or Sega Lucky Horseshoe???

Thanks for the information. I think this Lucky Horseshoe mechanism must have been disabled previously as there are no male connectors to link the power / lighting loom and the mech loom. I would have expected some kind of step down transformer to supply the solenoid on the vertical finger of the mec...

Re: Mills or Sega Lucky Horseshoe???

Topic merged - Site Admin. Please does anyone have a photo of the control box that is mounted to the back of the hood and how this connects to the 2 x female connector blocks inside the case and mech. I have recently purchased a machine which has the wiring looms, solenoids etc attached to the mech...

Re: How many cherries?

I have a Brown Front that is 2 Cherry Payout.
Did the Single Cherry Payout option become available later in the production run?

Re: Lord Sega on 3d coinage

Yes its similar, Here's a comparison side by side with a Sega Light Up Token Unit. The Lord Sega LS-7002 version is shorter and will hold 3 tokens. It seems to work with either with the 50p style Sega Tokens or the Samson style round Gold Award Tokens. Not sure what an original Grand Prize Token wou...

Re: Lord Sega on 3d coinage

A quick update on the progress. The slides have been taken out checked for thickness which was fine for the 3d coinage and they have now been cleaned as they were quite greased up. Infact there are only 2 slides paying 3d coins as the 3rd payout is the side mounted Special Prize Token trip. All 3 of...

Re: Lord Sega on 3d coinage

Thanks brigham and treefrog for your replies. I have spent a little more time investigating the mech and have taken a few more photo's which may be of interest. The good news is below the S10 acceptor 3d coins will fit in the coin detector and coin played window pushing them into the tube. The tube ...

Lord Sega on 3d coinage

Just got round to starting my Lord Sega project which has been waiting for a while. I noticed the artwork on the award card has been patched and the machine converted to 1p play at some point. After removing the card there was an extra layer of perspex at the front with the 1p awards and price of pl...

Re: Sega Clover Bell & Blackjack

Good news! The mech is working correctly now with the reels firing and spinning as they should. Would this trade stimulator have used tokens or coins originally? There's no indication other than the "COINS" text stamped on the front plate. The slot and chute is large enough for 1d but they...

Re: Sega Clover Bell & Blackjack

I just scored a Sega Clover Bell today, just in time before leaving for a holiday. I never have seen one, except on the internet. Does someone know if these machines have no reel brakes so the reels keep rolling till they stop? When you push the gum button each time it will give a gumball. Do I mis...

Re: Mills hi top

Wow lovely Hi Top polaris and I think gold award payout is quite a desireable fetaure on this machine. I have a Special Award fitted to a later Sega machine and the payout is tripped by 3 overprinted stars on the reel strips. There is a long lever mounted to the anti-reverse lever that runs through ...

One Arm Bandits that use Florins

A question to the Forum please.
Are there many one arm bandits that run on Florins? I think I have seen later Aristocrat models but wondered if the mechanical Segas, Mills, Jennings, Jubilees etc were ever converted to use this coinage?

Looking good Paul,
Are you planning to re-paint the castings in a similar colour or do you have something different in mind?

Re: New Sega Copper resto Help with payout

Glad to hear it's paying out now.
There is a post that I have found really useful on the topic of large coin escalators which hopefully will be of help.

Re: Sega Silver Victory
