Oppps my mistake, should have studied the pic a bit closer. You are right the coin releases a gum ball which you shoot at the target. Bit odd though, the gum ball must get a bit battle warn with continual shootings, who would want it after that?

Hi, an American cent goes into a slot in the gun and you pull the hammer back and try to shot the cent through the hole. This then will release a gum ball in the side cup. I have a similar one and it is great fun.

'I've been watching this video last week' thank you so much Dutchboy, really helpful video. MM

Right hand pic on the right, just in front of the pinball machine. Looks like a trade stim shooting game. I have one. It works great. MM

Ok, so just dismantling the metal work on this machine and noticed that it is missing 3 of the control wires two lower ones in place top three missing. (See pics) I could really do with a blueprint, template for replacements or at least a diagram and measurements. Anyone able to oblige? P1010001 (4)...

Me neither but headmaster Pennymachines might come after you with a big stick. MM

Nightmare, I talk 1/4 inch ply and you guys talk poop!

If the back had worm, check and treat the case edges if affected. Thanks coppinpr, The entire in and outside has been nibbled. Gone over the whole thing with stuff. If you don't have an auction near you try Charity Shops. Thanks B.P. great idea. No auction houses near here but loads and loads of Ch...

I hesitate to ask this question, having stirred up such a poop storm the last time, but here goes. Does anyone know where I can get 1/4 inch ply to replace the back board of this machine. Woodworm have had breakfast lunch and supper for years leaving it looking like Swiss cheese. All the DIY shops h...

Thanks J Peterson, def my kinda DIY!

Sometimes this site get really weird.

Trust the Americans to do it big!

If I re-chrome after re-attaching the handles with pins, won't that mean I will never be able to get them off again? What international incident? Have I breached some protocol?

Not a prob 13rebel, no need to beat yourself up about it. I would have tried the outside taper pins as it certainly would be less effort, if I was not so worried about getting the replacement pins to look neat. Being a bit of a sledge hammer person :smash: I thought it more prudent to try to repair ...

Hi Gameswat, yeah that pretty much describes the exact look of the pins, bent, mushroomed and broken off. Your suggestion sounds solid so as soon as I get the tools I will have a go. Ta again, MM

" The only taper pins MM need worry about is the one holding the trigger shaft to the hammer arm and the handle shaft" Wow, how much simpler is that. I have the taper pins on the handles as shown in Gameswat email and Oh Boy are they hard to spot. What with the pitting and rust I had to ta...

Thank you guys and sorry not to respond sooner but have been away from the computer. Yep understand about the acceptable split pins but this machine has several others dotted about all over the place. Yes the taper pins are broken off on one side of the hole and the one on the flicker also seems to ...

Oh lord I hadn't even spotted that one although it is intact and not damaged in any way. In order to get it re-chromed is it necessary to remove that one too?

Thank you Bad penny and Penny machines. As I mentioned earlier I only have sight of one end of the pin so might be a bit tricky. Also I have just spotted that one of the pin holes seems offset to the other so not a direct route through. Yep they are in situ so fire out of the question and the only g...

Oh yeah, my kinda DIY!
