Re: Puzzle : fruits missing on incomplete Jennings Bell-Fruit-Gum reel strip

Just out of interest, the V12-55 set up is, just about, the poorest paying set up Jennings did - a stingy 55%, compared to some Jennings set ups that paid over 90%. Interesting information : that's maybe why the wheel set was for sale ! SkEpTiCaL I think as a newbie I'm not finished with buying oth...

Re: Puzzle : fruits missing on incomplete Jennings Bell-Fruit-Gum reel strip

Thanks a lot ! !!THUMBSX2!! .. and I'm also glad because this confirms what I finally found by myself in parallel by some deductions, which I will try to summarize herebelow in case it might help in some similar situations - and in case nobody would answer so quickly as you ;) The way I proceeded is...

Puzzle : fruits missing on incomplete Jennings Bell-Fruit-Gum reel strip

Hello, I acquired a three-reel set from a Jennings Bell-Fruit-Gum, but it misses 8 fruits on the left reel strip. After some searching on the images of existing strip repros, I did not find any corresponding one .. !PUZZLED! Thus I reproduced on the attached image the strips (as seen from the player...

Re: Could someone provide photos of a Tom Boland gooseneck mech?

Indeed I am a bit proud of my cleaning - performed with white vinegar to remove the rust, and many elbow grease with drilling + steel brush (including dremel for small corners). Thanks for the link .. that I already visited !!THUMBSX2!! and coincidentally one of the picture is of my mech :) Epilogue...

Re: Could someone provide photos of a Tom Boland gooseneck mech?

Many thanks to both of you :) You were right when suspecting that I didn't catch the 2-steps move. !DOH! Now I can go on until the next challenge (which is to replace the pay-slides since it misses one among the 3 which should have been present. PS: concerning the choice of a Tom Boland's mech as a ...

Re: Could someone provide photos of a Tom Boland gooseneck mech?

Thanks a lot coppinpr for your reply :). I'm still puzzled since to cycle the mech (with a screwdriver, as shown on many videos), I had to move in the "E" direction of the image below to unlock - which is the opposite direction it should do according to your logical explanation. Thus I pro...

Could someone provide photos of a Tom Boland gooseneck mech?

Hello, I bought a said-as "Tom Boland's mechanism" for having the opportunity to understand how a slotmachine works by dismounting / cleaning / re-mounting (note: it is a single reel - like Screen Stars). I understood during the process that it clearly misses some parts. I guess I will be ...
