So once we got over the excitement of Xmas without visitors, I turned my attention back to the above machine. I was finding it hard to live with the reality that it looked deplete as it was missing its embossed manufacturer's plate on the front. As I suspected Sainsbury's were useless and because th...

Every horizontal finger has a corresponding slide. I come back to the fact that the errant lever is the only thing that resets all of the slides at the same time. How that happens basically is the bottom slide has an upright plate attached at the back. It's the same height as the whole stack. When t...

I was wondering if that reset bar has been put in backwards. As it'll never reset the slides after a pay out, or has the bottom slide lost its vertical plate for the bar to push against? You can see where the edge of the bar is grinding out the edge of the top slide. It shouldn't even be able to tou...

Welcome to the dark side.

If possible get the tin with the liquid version and not the aerosol. The one I have in my shed is an aerosol which is a much better idea than dribbling it in. You're confusing me... :-? I exchanged my shares from the liquid to the aerosol product. Dribbling no longer pays the premium. BP :didact:

That looks like the can my old Dad had on the shelf in the shed back in the 60s.
The one I have in my shed is an aerosol which is a much better idea than dribbling it in.
