Bell Fruit Three Penny Supreme

Great stuff, have a good holiday, travels one of my favourite things, just wish I could afford to go more often, Rome was the toughest holiday I've ever been on, by that I mean we were up at dawn and late to bed for 2 weeks solid, just so much to do and see, it was endless we overdosed on Roman history / artefacts then came back exhausted. Feel free to find me any old Lambretta's or Fiat Dino's while you are out there.

back from vacation and started on your glass again, so much damage I cant believe it survived.
Just the reel window surround,the outlines of two of the words and a general check to go

[madmickshere]

Excellent, it only survived because it was packed away safely though even then the flakes were falling off. I hope you enjoyed your holiday?

Well it's done It's not perfect but it's pretty good even though I say so myself. It was a big challenge and I enjoyed doing it. A lot of the damage was at the 1 and 2 pixel level and was so mixed up few of the tiny areas had the same colour numbers, dozens of shades of grey for the worst parts. Rebuilding the missing parts was fun as was restoring the payout chart. I'll be interested to see the finished product. Ask advice from others on the site as to printing - I know little about what is the best place to go etc. Will you clean off the old glass or have new glass cut? Always nice to keep the original around although this one is pretty much shot. I've put straight and flipped versions in the resource section. I have also changed the top glass version to match the better background colour of the belly glass.

If you need me to send direct let me know. Doubt anyone will ever need a copy other than you. 3d machines are very rare and I don't think I've ever seen one with a custom glass directed at 3d like this one.

This machine better bloody work in the end after what it's cost you in chrome fees and me in backache.

Looks like an added bonus for your machine... It might take the new £1 coin.

That would be good as I will be quids in then, as I have a bag full of thrupenny bits somewhere.

Do you know I looked on here at dinner time and didn't even notice your excellent finished work, just that £1 coin. Both glasses look amazing, I am extremely grateful to you for doing this? What do I owe you?
There won't be any point in me saving the glass to keep as the bits are falling off everywhere and I don't have anywhere to store them, however I will reuse the glass with the new prints.
Do you suggest I start a new post to find out what to do next? Many thanks again.....Mick

Well heres an update, the vinyl stickers arrived today and are now on the machine, a certain Paul should be congratulated here
It's now looking good, however I can't do anymore on it for a while as I pick up another for the spares I'm missing next week.
