Re: Mills/Sega/Jennings Lucky Horseshoe/Devil/Chief
It's an Instone and Ashby-style conversion, but I've never seen one on a Jennings.
There doesn't seem to be a description of the Feature?
Odd!

Re: International Mutoscope Liberty Bell Striker c1900 info needed
I believe the Mills 'Liberty Bell' machine has occasionally been seen on this side of the pond.

Re: Where to next?
Powell's Automatics made loads of interesting Jubilee conversions, the best known being O-X-O. There's a now-scarce one called Pot Black, with a snooker theme, which ought to be a collector's item in its own right.

Re: Jamieson/Streets et al. Snap bandits
Do we have a timescale for production of these machines? I always think of them as part of the flurry of new games which came with the introduction of the New Penny. (Brenco Heads & Tails was another).

It's not remotely how I remember it.
A '90s re-issue, perhaps?

Re: Sega Diamond 3 Star Jackpot Mechanism
Payout slides are plentiful; they are Mills-pattern. The escalator is probably a roll-down Shefras type, a very common retro-fit from the day. Unless you are an absolute perfectionist, you should be able to make a credible machine from this with very little effort, especially with the expert guidanc...

I'll have a look on mine, although I'm fairly sure it's been taken off.
The columns aren't blanked, though.

Re: Hello from rural Hampshire
It might be better, initially, to leave it on the smaller coin. It must have had new slides, unless someone has carefully brazed the penny slides up.
It would probably take the pre-decimal ha'penny as it is, which might be a little bit odd, but at least gets rid of the decimal menace.

Re: Niche Collections
Spiral games fit into the 'Can't win on them' category.
I'll be visiting an arcade at Scarborough tomorrow, which has one. I'll report back if I get a win!
Wonders Boomerang also fits this category.

Re: Hello from rural Hampshire
That's likely to be a conversion of a Novomat, or some similar German type.
Can't imagine how the 2p coin conversion was done. The original conversion to Old Penny left the payout slides perilously thin, which, along with the pot-metal castings, didn't help with longevity.

Re: Bally Money Honey/Super Sonic conversion
It all looks complete, and ready to plug in.
You will have to work out where the notch needs to be. This is what stops the disc in the right place after the payout has been made, ready for the next payout. The two silver-coloured studs will probably be involved in this process, too.
