Here’s the reel glass

Ps I’m looking for a replacement belly glass like this if anyone has any leads I’d be grateful.

Just an update .. My Bally 742a is now back to the original jackpot payout of 200 coins. I’ve had a few of these machines that the operator decided to reduce the jackpot payouts to half the original amount. Using the circuit diagram of the counter unit it’s possible to revert back to original with a...

Hello Bally fans I have a Bally that’s had the jackpot payouts reduced by moving the wiring on the hopper. My intention is to put the wiring back to original so the jackpots pay out correctly. If anyone has a 200 pay Bally please could you post a close up of the hopper wiring? I have attached a phot...

Thanks Treefrog, unfortunately I don’t have the reset key , and yes the top glass was made by our fellow member Paul, I think I need to back it with something to reduce the light .

Yes, it is a beautiful machine with original paint and amazing chrome. I've parted with many machines over the years but this is one of 3 bandits I’ve kept.
I’ll send you a pm regarding those tokens thank you grains.

Thanks for that. I had seen those but didn’t know if they were the ones used in bandits.

Thanks, I’ll just use one of those. I’ve just never seen the correct token.

Hi , what would the token look like from this Sega bandit?
It must have been roughly the size of an old penny. It is awarded when three stars are shown but without the jackpot.

Thanks I’ll trim it and hope it’s not too short.

I should have mentioned that someone has filed the end at some time and it is now too short., so repair is not an option.

Hi all, I’m looking to replace a payout slide lever from a four reel Sega bandit. The problem I’m having is a constant payout of 2 coins, this is caused by a damaged payout lever. This lever seems to be made from brass whereas all the other slides are made from steel. I’m not sure why this is ? The ...

Here you go.

From underneath:

Thanks. Now I know which way it turns that will help.

Can someone tell me please which direction the key turns on an original tubular case lock to open it?
I am attempting to pick it as I have no key but need to bias it clockwise or anti-clockwise whilst picking it.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, I see what you mean. I’m going to pick it up in a bigger van now. Thanks for your reply.

Hi,
I need to pick up and transport a very tall Regal version. Does anyone know how to remove the top box? I hope that when I see it it will be obvious, but wondered if anyone has removed the top box on one of these models. The picture shows a similar machine but not the actual one.

Congratulations Alan on your new toy, when you strip this down you’ll realise how well built theses Jennings machines are, unlike the other makes these machines would operate without problems for years. Certainly my favourite machine and regards a manual I’ve never needed one , just take loads of ph...

I use Autosol metal polish on loads of stuff and always have a good result.

Absolutely fascinating, I often forget we are in 2020 as most of my time is spent restoring 1950s jukeboxes. What a remarkable way to reproduce missing parts.
