Re: Reels don't appear to be lining up for payout.
Loosen the bolts that clamp the reels to their shafts, then set a jackpot up on the discs and let the machine finish its cycle. You should then be able to line the reels up for the jackpot, say 4 bars, clamp the bolts back up and it should be OK. You may find that one of the reels has more than one ...

Re: You be the Judge
Meanwhile over in Derby, an auction house run by a well known TV antiques personality has started "suggesting" that your lot was such a speciality subject that they had to market it in relevant websites and periodicals in order to raise any interest. Therefore your share of the cost is £X...

Re: You be the Judge
I had the same, a few years ago. I bought an electromechanical wall machine, at the auction it was plugged in so people could test it. I didn't, because I'd forgot to bring any pennies with me. On getting it home, I found the switch that the coin activates to start the machine had had the wire form ...

Don't know what the token would have looked like, but a £2 coin fits nicely.

Re: Essex Football & Ahrens Great Polo Game identified
What’s the best way of freeing the rusty steel rods and bits from the alloy it sits in without smashing it all? It's all a bit sad really. Wouldn't normally recommend Halfords for anything, but get some of this, it's really good. https://www.halfords.com/motoring/engine-oils-and-fluids/lubricating-...

Re: Sega Continental Grand Prix
I've got a Continental that I got in boxes, about the only way I could lift it.
I only bought it because it was a BONUS type, then the BONUS unit packed up...
So now it sits gathering dust on the garage floor.

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...
