Some excellent updates - I like the animated ones - the auto fruit video should help with the resto of my Lucky Throw

I’ll show my dad when we next meet up

Glad to see the Jamieson collection still going strong

This might be some help. With many thanks to Dickywink on here.
Jamiesons Starlet information Manual V1.1.pdf

Thanks for the wiring info - definitely some similarities with my machine - should come in useful.

I don't have any diagrams for these machines, but, unlike the earlier 'uniselector' types, you don't need a diagram unless the original wiring has been tampered with. The wiring on these is to a very high standard, and I'm convinced that either Arthur Jamieson or Mr. Binns had GPO experience. It wo...

The variator motor turns at 5rpm. This is the left-hand motor in the inside photograph, the one between the odds adjuster and the main sequence controller. The speed of this variator will have no effect on the speed of the game. The right-hand motor controls the game length. It runs at 6rpm, and so...

Sorry to hear you are struggling with the motor speed, when I found you the Lucky Throw machine I recommended a 12 rpm motor thinking it would be ok for the job, I think the original Crouzet motor would have been 10 rpm, so not a lot of speed difference ?? I think a 6 rpm would be too slow?? "Crouz...

I am aware of alternative versions of these, and I also have 'Starlet', which I imagine is an earlier type, not having the variator fitted. I'll have a look at the variator motor on my 'Lucky Throw' when I get home tonight, and post the final RPM for you. There are two different cam profiles, one w...

I’ve recently had passed onto me some photo’s compiled by my grandfather the late Arthur Jamieson that I thought I’d like to share. These show some of the Jamieson machines in the “Autofruit” range Circa Sept 62 - Oct 64 in different guises. As some of you know, I have a “Luck Throw” version that I’...

Wow - that looks a bit of a mess - someone has bid on it now so must fancy a challenge resoring it - not sure it’s one for me - is this the typical resto condition/price as not come across one before?

Thanks for the link.

Sorry but i don’t have any contact details for The Binns family The resto is going well - managed to swap the motor out - then get it to rotate the right way round to match the cams !! Bit of cleaning and adjusting & now Seems to work ok - just not too sure how many rpm it’s meant to be ?? Seems a b...

I've spoken to my dad - that's him in the photo wearing red jacket and cool beard - and I can confirm that unfortunately there are no manuals etc in the Jamieson family vaults!!
