The payment hole in the top looks to fit the 1np well but the interior mechanism looks a little large to me. The payment tube also looks right for the 1np.

Well I've taken the slides out and have cleaned them up they were covered in oil.
But now I can see that the holes are much larger than the 1np coin, the diameter is approximately 24mm thats about 4mm larger than the 1np. Does anyone know what size coin this might be for?
Here's the photo.

Thanks guys for all your input I have removed all the 1p coins pre 1987 so now it is all steel 1p. This doe's seem to have some effect on the payout which is now: 3 bar pay 10 3 orange pays 9 2 orange & bar pays 9 2 cherry pays 4 1 cherry pays 2 3 bell pays 2 3 plum pays 2 2 bell & bar pay 2...

Wow - that will make life much easier. I'm afraid my knowledge of all this is pretty poor. Thanks for the tip.

Thank you both for all your advice. I will keep you updated.

Thanks TF when I started this the machine had totally wrong strips so I was unaware if it was paying out correctly or not. I am sure the strips are correct now I have checked through them six times to check and double check. It does have five payout slides but it is a new penny machine not an old on...

Well the strips turned up and they look great, but now I have the correct combination I found that some of the payouts are incorrect. IMG_3894a.jpg The 1 cherry is correct at 2p The 2 cherry is sometimes right paying 6p but sometimes only pays 4p The 3 Bars is correct paying 10p The 3 Oranges pays 1...

Yes they are sold as a seven strip set, when I asked them they said it was so they could be altered to suit.
I'm ordering them today, will keep you updated.
Thanks for all your help.

Well I have mapped all three reels again, I think I have the order right now, I checked it three times. I came across a web site called Slot Machine Reel Strips * so below are the results of what I found for sale and how they matched to mine, its hard to make out the code number but I think I have g...

Thank you so much - that is a great help. I will map reel 3 again as it is a little strange that both the plum and the bar seem to be in the same area, so now I can carry on with the restoration.

Well I've mapped the reels and It bears little resemblance to the spools I have, from left to right, looking from the front it is: BAR.. BAR. .. O O........ B........ L L....... C........ P P........ B....... O O....... O........ B P....... C........ P C...... P... ...... L L....... C....... O O.......

Thanks Coppinpr,
I have a feeling you are right in your assumption that they are not the right reels, as all 3 of them are the same number GP- CH-1 and have been sellotaped in place.

Thanks Treefrog,
I'm afraid that I'm a little green on the workings. Have looked on line for new strips but can't find any over in the UK .
The bay shows a confusing selection but no clue to which machine they fit.

Hi, I'm new to this forum and have just brought my first slot machine a Sega Bell, serial number 739491 and stamped July 1965. It has a Mills mech, no jackpot and no escalator , but all seems to be working ok, but the reel strips are wrong, all 3 strips are the same code GP-CH-1. Can anyone please t...
