Re: Quite a rare beasty - Mills Futurity
Yes, you're right brigham. It's the same cheat that The Horse's Head utilises on alternative games to leave the B O N U S letters vulnerable. The Hi-top BONUS had no switch over cam so it was a true 1x20 stop. I've heard this last ditch attempt to legitimise its reputation was too late, even with Wo...

Re: Quite a rare beasty - Mills Futurity
Desirable machine bp, and a good looker (Futurity that is). You post some nice pics and tempt us as to what this machine is supposed to do and intimate that they lived up to the ubiquitous shadey reputation of the slot world, but have you reached ten plays without a win of any kind yet ! :!?!: Come...

Re: Quite a rare beasty - Mills Futurity
Very nice J, very nice indeed. Although I'm not really much of a bandit man, certainly not so much as I once was, the Futurity is one machine that I would love to own. And you say you just happened to arrive back with it when returning from Coventry? Well, I've been to Coventry on quite a few occas...

Quite a rare beasty - Mills Futurity
Mills Futurity 5c Just over a year ago I attended a funeral in Coventry. My first Father in Law. Then just before Christmas I went to a second funeral in Coventry, this time it was my first Mother in Law's second husband. So that'd be my Step Father in Law. Finally two weeks later on New Year's Eve...

Re: Machine Conversions
The change of gambling laws was mid 60s and decimalisation was early 70s.

Re: Machine Conversions
Certainly at the time of decimalisation the general attitude to it was that it was a rip-off. At first many operators did the easy conversion, 1d to 2np being similar sized coins. However that was a price increase of nearly 600%. Whereas 1d to 1np (still more than double value increase) was a radica...

Re: Mills/Sega/Jennings Lucky Horseshoe/Devil/Chief
That's interesting, I've never seen the likes before.
It clearly originates from when it had more value earning its living than as a collectors' item.

Re: Nice row of cast iron machines
Years ago I worked with an old school photographic expert. He told me that in order to try and clarify detail in an image they would enlarge it and then print it as a negative. Oddly enough it works with digital images as well. Doing this and adding "remove noise" and "sharpen" s...

Re: Aristocrat Elite
Righty ho, my suggestion in my last post still stands ... To prove the point stop the fan and then see if you are able to move the vertical lever further to the right by hand. It might be fighting dried grease. As it is possible it's not the spring, it could be dried grease or maybe someone has swap...

Re: Aristocrat Elite
That's the one I've been talking about. The button does need to be well seated on the top, and it's not. My instinct is to say try a stronger spring.

Re: Aristocrat elite
Look at the back of the mechanism. Without a photo you'll need to trace this backwards. The vertical fingers are held back away from the discs by a bar that is part of an L shaped bracket. As it tilts over to move the fingers out of the discs the vertical lever in line with the clock moves across un...
