I don’t mate, other than I know he wanted his machines to look mint, and they did. I bought one and still have it and happy, not a Allwin mind. I am sure all the streamlined cases were new from memory, but maybe someone will correct me.

I reckon it will straighten up quite well. I had a similar state machine and pressed them out, but the seam between them had become detached and needed brazing.

Nice job grains

I heard if Charlie machine, he had them revamped and changed by Bryans factory with all new bits, so probably back to 1D. I maybe wrong, but sure verbally this was mentioned to me at the Coventry auction they all sold at or on here. Also all the cabinets bolts were painted on request for some reason

Just part of the risk in bidding partially blind I am afraid. Auction houses have every exclusion from any accountability and make this clear, even if providing condition reports.

Should be an easy fix. Probably just move the reel stop back, undoing the screw slightly... https://www...

Not sure I understand the point of the tilt device as these machines were meant to be wall mounted of course if you were a cruise operator they would have been a nightmare on ships

I believe it is the pendulum part from the anti tilt device missing from the machine.....but someone may correct me. I have similar devices left on mine, but missing the actual lever with the words on, see below. Again nothing to do with the free spin...

Ha ha , still no straight shot from rear, but one of the pictures, I can just see the lower rod that holds the free play lever is missing, you can see the hole in the side frame where it was. Not sure if I have this part in my box of bits, but can check. It is a long rod like the one that operates t...
