Re: Bally one armed bandit help

Thank you for everyone's replies. The issue is now fixed. I won't show you what I did as it's a mess, but it works. It involved plastic, double sided tape and insulation jointing tape. lol If the same issue arises, I will use the information and fix it correctly like I've been advised. So thank you....

Re: Bally one armed bandit help

I took some pics. Not sure if the slope is too low from the mech or too high. Or the slope on the hopper is too high or low or too short. Maybe someone can spot the obvious. I took a video too just uploading now. I did notice on my other Bally the metal launch the coin hits after going through the m...

Thomas Automatics brochure

I grew up bin dipping and playing around this factory in Loughborough without knowing its significance in the amusement history.

Hoping someone finds it an interesting read, either now or in the future.

Re: Bally one armed bandit help

A up :) Nice to hear from you. It's on 2p, sorry I didn't stipulate. I've already opened the whole gate up on the mech so the coins just drop straight through, trigger the microswitch and credit. The coins though either are not travelling fast enough to bridge the gap between the bottom of the mech ...

I know a lot of you would spit on this kind of stuff, but it will sadly be the future of collecting in the future and the resources would be good to see and look back on if you was about. Anyway, let me know what you think of the files. I scanned them in at 300dpi, so sho...

Re: anychance you could increase the upload limit for resources please

Thanks for your efforts sadly the file is 21.9 meg. I really didn't want to have to edit it and split it down further - no worries. Thanks for trying. Another forum I use has a 80 meg file upload limit. I thought it might be similar across the board, now I know it isn't. I will have a think. Thanks,...

Any chance you could increase the upload limit for Resources please

Can you alter it and allow larger files to be uploaded please? Thanks Hoping everyone is well or as good as you can be. Richard
