Re: Hello New Member from Essex UK
Hello and welcome to the forum. I can only paraphrase others' advice here. As a new entrant to this hobby your best route in would have been to include the specialist live auctions, however due to Covid they are suspended with no indication of a return. Henry will supply a restored machine ready to ...

Re: Calling Bryans Forks Experts!
Lovely looking machine Paul. I'd also suggest that more than a few of them may well have been supplied in pre-decimal, then be converted to decimal, and ended up in the hands of a collector or vintage arcade operator who wanted it back on old penny. I for one have put several allwins and bandits bac...

Re: Exacta German One Arm Bandit
I've just searched my GW manual and of course it doesn't have an exploded view of any of the variations, merely the bog standard variety.
So swapping out the reel symbol was clearly the best thing to do.

Re: Sega Athletic Scale
I thought it went very cheap. When I worked in Spain in the mid to late 70s prior to Franco shuffling off and the country relaxing its draconian opinions on gambling and freedom of thought, the only coin ops in bars etc. were Pinballs, Jukeboxes and Strength Testers. I once commented to a barman tha...

Re: Exacta German One Arm Bandit
The free spin (when there's a symbol on reel 3) is a disc on reel 3 that a hammer falls into. This gives a free play on the machine not just one reel. This rotates a thin axle (which can be seen in the video) which runs across the bottom of the casting where the coin drops into the tube, it ends in ...

Re: Exacta German One Arm Bandit
Some years back I posted about the Exacta that I had and waffled endlessly about its free spin function and also its re-spin button for the first reel. I was most impressed though by it's tilt mechanism which kicked in if the case was thumped, it incorporated a rod which dropped locking up all of th...

Re: Repairing diecast, aluminium, pot metal and cast iron
What ho! Young man, how are you keeping? In the twelvety years I've been on this forum, I've probably only written a dozen different posts and just repeated the same old dross (most would confirm that) every few months. I think the true value in this forum is that newcomers to the hobby stumbling ac...
