Re: Old Bell needed..........

I am not looking for a whole strip. I was hoping someone might have one that is of no use, that they could cut a bell off that I could then overlay on the "painted" one. It would certainly look better than it does at the moment. :(

Treefrog, let me know how I can reimburse you and I will send you my address.

Oil/Grease removal

Hi, I have attached two images of the coin tube on my Mill's Hi-Top. The coins were coming out with oil/grease on them, so I have been removing as much as I can reach, but have noticed there is quite a bit inside the tube that is difficult to reach. What would be the best way of cleaning the tube wi...

Re: Shipping Bell Fruit Cascade from UK to Canada

I seem to remember laying on my back between two dining chairs that were supporting the front and glass above me. Offering the playfield upwards using both hands to keep it level I used another hand to realign the coin trigger and my spare hand to move the coin entry over. Having got that lot contr...

Slot Machine Depot

Does anyone know if this business is ongoing?

I have tried to make contact three times in the last 6 months by Email, which is my prefered way of conversing. However, I have yet to have any response.

The site appears to be up to date, and does say "Best to email or txt any enquiries!"
