Re: Seven mysteries of the Saxony allwin
I agree with John, the flap's always been a bit of a mystery to me too! It is true, however, that if you keep firing the balls at one particular point in the payout routine, winning ones can occasionally jam the win-release lever, as one ball is already on the way through (if you see what I mean) so...

Re: Seven mysteries of the Saxony allwin
I have a reserve allwin in full working order, with the "little flap" intact. It activates (i.e. blocks the spiral) when the win knob starts to turn and returns to its original position when the win has paid out. This stops you sending another ball into play until the payout is complete. M...

Re: My newly acquired Gunther Wulff Rialto (Bingolett)
Yes, they're a lovely machine, the Bingoletts. Beautiful smooth action and a nice rubbery bounce! Jim Broderick (of blessed memory - Star Warehouse) gave my wife one once - sadly it's disappeared from the collection now and I can't remember where it went (I disposed of all our electric machines over...

Re: Rotomole flushing
What everyone is missing here is that the original question was in fact a reverse reference to the well-known Brenner ELO MOTOR (rotomole backwards) used in so many 60s electro-mechanical slot machines. Luckily spares are still available from ACAL Technology. I quote from: http://www.acaltechnology....

Tivoli ticket mechanism - any info please?
I just came a cross a Tivoli (see pictures below) in fairly poor condition and I'm now working on it. However, it's missing the mechanism which should pay out the ticket (it says on the pediment) or token for a cigar. Does anybody have clear, detailed photos/drawings of an original I could work from...

Re: Unusual Allwin type machine(s) - please help identify!
Many thanks for this identification of the Sports. I'll try to post pics of each of them as they begin restoration, but I now have a Pickwick (later style), a Tivoli and a Bajazzo to start on, so it's going to be a busy winter. I'll post the following question in the right forum when I have some pic...

Re: Unusual Allwin type machine(s) - help identifying please?
Further info on these unknown wall machines. I've now begun the restoration work on one of them, so I've got some better photos to share. Still waiting for anybody to suggest maker etc - unfortunately there's nothing to indicate this on the inside. I was wrong about the scoring - see the image of th...

Re: Unusual Allwin type machine(s) - help identifying please?
Yes, it is a double track with two "flickers". I've got one of them in the workshop now so I'll start taking it to bits next week to find out more. I imagine it's French - they often used the sloping coin insert. I've never seen a double track before in over 30 years of collecting - for th...

Topic merged - Site Admin. Sorry about the atrocious quality - pix had to be taken in bad conditions and in a hurry. I'll get better ones in due course. (Now added in a later post below). But in the meantime, does anybody recognise these machine types? All three are the same basic machine, with the...

Fortune Teller - Spinner
Here's a very common TYPE of machine, but I've not seen this exact one anywhere else, so like the other stuff I've posted tonight, help identifying appreciated. I can post better pics in due course if needed. Only the front and mech is original - the box is an addon. Not much to say about this, but ...

Belvedere (French?) Reserve Allwin
Here's an old machine which I've always wanted to identify - probably needs a better image, but I couldn't get to it easily tonight so I'll repost when I can do so if anybody's interested in more detail. Nic Costa suggested (a long time ago, while he was writing the series for the Coin Slot) that it...

Spenser Bolland Road Safety identified
I've had this machine for donkey's years - it came from the old Royal Arcade in Weymouth in the 70s - but I've never seen another like it. The notice says it's the property of Spencer Bolland & Co (Marefair, Northampton). Paul Braithwaite lists them (in 1971) as making Working Models (and perhap...
