I would not try to convert. I probably have bits to except the to Novomat casting coin entry which were cut to support the big penny. I would sell and buy a penny machine, a lot easier. I like the dark border veneer on the front... Value, who knows...? Today two machines sold for silly money at auct...

I think I see all the slides and there is no gap. It is a 3 2 5 4 4 2.

Sorry JC, 10 years ago I got shot down many times for publishing up coming auctions and now I am like everyone else, hoping I am the only one who has seen them. I was very tempted with the BMco and penny flick machines, but was very cautious given the mistakes I have made in the past with locked mac...

Have a look at th...

This is likely to be the issue, as when it returns all the way up the coin check lever will pull back.

I remember someone telling me ages ago certain glass types should not be used in ball bearing type machines due to risk of shattering, not sure which one. My understanding is that old plate glass is no longer used for obvious reasons, but was replaced by Annealed glass, which can be cut to size and ...
