Dear all, My dilemma is my Jubilee bandit, Tankards and Sevens. It will only pay out small wins and will not pay out the jackpot of 5 shillings. It runs on two goes for sixpence, so I'm looking for a 10 coin payout. It only pays out 2. I've checked and checked and looked and pondered and inspected a...

Hello J, Yes, a memorable day for me. Are you still in the land of the Rolling Stones... my old home town? Yes, wonderfully simple mechanism that converts one horizontal movement into another but changes it through 90 degrees without using any gears, worms, crowns, pinions or levers - just two angle...

As requested, a few pics, including homemade coin chute for Win a Mint and new case for Jubilee bandit. The original was a walnut laminate with most of the wood turned to dust courtesy of woodworm.

Ha ha! Absolutely no reason to have more than one ball - the gutter that holds the ball in storage is 2 inches long, so I put a few balls in.

Welcome to the club my friend, you have done a great job there. If you search around the Resource section, there are scans of Allwin backflashes that might finish the job, or maybe just a polished metal sheet to keep with the theme. The main thing is that you have done the job with care and attenti...

Well, it was something to do in the shed - wasn't meant to replicate an actual machine, just roughly knocked up and welded together - the challenge being to design a mechanism that actually worked from what I could remember seeing in the arcades at Broadstairs and such resorts, childhood memories.
