Re: Rotomat repair

Jason …… I don't know where you are in the country, but is there any chance you'd make the Coventry Auction in March? I think there's something you might be interested in. BP !!IDEA!! Hi BP, I'm in Leek, Staffs, so Coventry certainly not out of the question! Do you have a link for the auction you c...

Re: Rotomat repair

It's a good feeling when a cash register hasn't worked for approx 20 years and you get it unjammed and cleaned up and working a treat Do you collect old tills Mr swifty? For my sins, yes I do! I probably have around 15 - they are not mega old, but from the 50's onwards, electro-mechanical...

Re: Rotomat repair

That's a beauty BP, and thanks for having a rummage for me. I'll get the owner to check she hasn't got some spares lying around though I think that's unlikely.

Re: Rotomat repair

Now it makes sense. Thought I couldn't see how just that sprung lever and coin hook could make it all operate. Of course the next question is, does anybody have said 'L' shaped lever within their spares?!

Thanks

Nope. I agree! Works the same with old tills and clocks too! It's a good feeling when a cash register hasn't worked for approx 20 years and you get it unjammed and cleaned up and working a treat :)

Re: Rotomat repair

Thanks for the pics BP. I can see mine is definitely different. I do not have what looks like an L shaped spring loaded lever, located just below where the arrorow '2' is pointed. Instead I have a straight vertical lever which is pivoted and sprung, just above where the right angles meet of the L le...

Re: Rotomat repair

Thank you so much for getting back to me! Much as I like the machine, I had a suspicion it was cheaply made. The mechanics don't seem too bad but the veneer is starting to lift all over, the case doesn't quite line up correctly and the plate by the crank handle is literally disintegrating! Also I pr...

Re: ROTOMAT JUWEL REPAIR

Hi BP,

Thanks for the warm welcome! Attached are some photos, if I have done them correctly, concentrating on the coin mechanism for now. Ignore temporary blue tape repair! I do have the connecting piece from coin entry slot which is not shown.

Thanks all!

Jason

I know absolutely nothing about fruit machines, but I...
