Re: Sega Continental Grand Prix

I've got a Continental that I got in boxes, about the only way I could lift it.

Re: Trouble with Aristocrat reels not releasing

Have the springs on the payout fingers been replaced? Sometimes they are a bit too strong. Remove 2 or 3, then try again.

Re: Hello from South of France

Hi Gastoon. Here's a pic of what you have missing. The spring should be easy enough to source, and the pawl for the ratchet doesn't really affect game play; it's just to stop people turning the win knob back & forth to get multiple coins. Also, it looks like your coin slide might have been insta...

Re: Help needed for Rondo machine

The type of rectifier fitted to your machine is a Selenium Rectifier. By all means test it. You might be lucky and it may still be working OK, but with age they do tend to deteriorate and become unreliable, in which case you could fit a replacement silicon rectifier in its place. The wiring shown i...
