Swallow Amusements on the Isle of Wight is up for sale: £110,000 with machines. I live in hope he will sell me his medallist. :D

Re: vending machine

OK thank you. Will look at those two suggestions.
I had it powder coated so looks quite tidy.
Just have loads of unfinished projects and would like to get this one finished.

Re: vending machine

Thank you for your reply.
It vends on the old pound. The Tic Tac boxes are large ones.
Not quite sure what you mean? Would I have to tighten it up to fit the width? Just seems to be a large gap at the bottom and nothing to stop two packs falling out together.

Vending machine

Bought a vending machine a while back - Tic Tacs - but the vend packs fall out when you wiggle the handle.
Does it need a weight, or is there something else missing? I put a perspex front on it but that never helped.

Re: Old Bally EM 3 reel, is the payout random?

You can calculate the percentage, but for your machine it will be around the 82% mark. :D

Love it or hate it

eBay item number:

Re: Bally gold award fruit machine help

A quick look - decals say 1p. Why do you think it's 2p?
You have two solenoids (payout ) tubes missing; one for the coins in and one for the token pay.
Is it worth restoring? I don't know, but I don't think I would bother.

Re: Artwork for machine glasses

I don't think they're vinyl stickers for mirrors. As I say, they make stickers (normally football badges) to stick inside car rear windows.
Etching and lasering is fine on high end machines but is it an economical solution for a run of the mill low value machine that requires new artwork?

Re: Bally Lucky Stars identified

Is it all working now? Payout fine? 5 goes for 10p working? You can't beat a Bally bandit - much more interesting than all the others. If you feel like it, get yourself over to newlifegames - look for the electromechanical forum. You can join the new site or look at the old one. You'll find answers ...
