Pace Slot Machine Operator sheet
So while chilling watching some (mostly stoopid and idiotic) FB/Instagram videos, one popped up discussing a PACE slot. I don't have a PACE machine, but a search did not reveal the attached sheet, and a Google search did not either. Similar instuction sheets, but not the same... So I took a couple p...

Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Glasgow, probably not...

Jubilee Riviera cabinets
I'm looking for templates to make a tall cabinet for my benchtop Riviera, if anyone knows where I could obtain them.
Or I'll just buy yours!

Re: Garrow Test Your Muscles identified
Please post a pic of all sides and inside. Really interesting object that.
The patent looks like the coin was used to "engage" the twist mechanism. Trouble is, that could end up bending the coins, so would like to see how that worked.

Re: Aussie laws gone crazy
I've not heard of anyone being actually busted in WA, but there is plenty of chatter about how careful we have to be.
I saw a speeding infringement notice from Queensland for 61 in a 60 zone the other day, so that's a good hint just how wacked our law makers are (and that was Kilometers per hour!)

Ha, yeah, I think I wrote it up while I was half asleep, so it probably was my doing.
Good to see my descriptions were followable, but are they of any use?, or is it a case of, *yawn*, these again...
