Re: Win a Penguin restoration

Hi Cheeky
I did send a PM to Polaris to help him with a rebuild on one of his cabinets back in 2013. I can rewrite it for this forum but wonder if Pennymachines can tell me if it's possible to just cut that PM and paste it here. Can you advise PM.
Happy to write it out again if not.
Regards
John

Re: Nearly got it!

I had a similar problem with my hi-top. I took mech out of case and found the safety slide was preventing payment. This didn't happen when 5 coins were paid as the weight of 5 coins ensured they dropped. But with two coins they held up, sometimes dropping later. I filed open the aperture on the safe...
