Re: Sega Mark 10

Splendid news.
You have been spared the effort of 'de-decimalising' this lovely old machine.

Re: Sega Mark 10

If it pays 2 for a cherry on sixpences, then it probably IS still on tanners. Does it pay the higher awards correctly?
The 2x cherry fault is probably just the finger not going far enough forward. Check that it goes through BOTH holes, when 2x cherries appear.

Re: A tricky ID question for the Gurus

I've ordered the film.
It looks like a Bryans Allwin; could it be a yet-undiscovered Bryans product?

Re: Broken bottom slide

It looks as though a tab has broken-off from the front centre of the slide, but I'm guessing it's just repetitive striking of the front edge.

Re: John Taylors slot machine auction: 12/03/24

Outbid on the Green Ray.
It looked to be in unrestored condition. A remarkable survivor, if so.

Re: Cam fruit machine

I'm guessing that's CAM Automatics of Seaham Harbour, although I've never seen a German conversion by that maker.
It's impressive. The artwork is nicely done.
Does it still have the long 15-second play?

Re: you are all going to hate this !

If it's for a Powell's Automatics O-X-O, it's a definite improvement!

Re: Punch and Judy Allwin - rough value?

I have a couple of 'Nostalgic' allwins.

They are probably useful as a base to make a home-brew allwin.

I remember the second one.

It was full of kids talking over each other, incoherently.

Some people clearly have no respect for half-a-crown.

Re: Fortune Teller Machine Finished!

Looks really good.
Did you build the cabinet, or use one from a left-over Bryan's Post Card Vendor?
Great result either way!

Re: Back to Night School

Reversing a DC motor by changing the input polarity only applies to permanent-magnet motors, usually found in Hornby train sets.
To reverse a 'proper' motor, you need to reverse the field connections OR the armature connections, but not both.

Re: reintroduction

I went through a Bally 'phase' about ten years ago.
The only ones I have now are the PE Gold Award conversions.
They thankfully don't have the hopper payout!

Re: We're pampering to the minority ...

These people have taken fanaticism to the point of insanity.

Their actual position is this: Galloper rides encourage people to think that riding horses is acceptable.

Well it is!
