Re: Harold

Harold was a good friend to me (including working on a machine for free not from him) and I enjoyed his and Chris's warm hospitality a number of times including sharing the waggon wheels....
He was a real character and a mine of information. There are not many about. I shall miss him.

Re: Bingolett..... help please!

I have a Rialto which is very similar. Please don't shoot me down in flames but do you have a coin blockage at any time? I found mine would not reset simply because of that... Malcymal is right, Harold is the man but not well at the moment and maybe not able to help right now....
