Re: Bally Gold Cup Deluxe circa 1965

Going from memory.... The anti cheat relay should pull in on the first play cycle and stay energised through its holding contacts... Have you got a circuit diagram?

Pennymachines has found the correct picture, but it is quite different to the Plaza illustrated on the Seeburg catalogue page posted by dinkywink.

Re: BMCo auto prize payout allwin signage?

I am pretty sure the top marquee frame was original and used the same mounting brackets as shown. Just the top horizontal wood part was missing which I remade. Remember this was a "giant type allwin" and maybe suited the small marquee.

Re: Mutoscope - what adjustments are possible?

This is what mine looks like. You look to have a modern reproduction reel with straight cards. The original reels had curved cards. There is an article somewhere (maybe on this site* explaining all this). You may have to search on google.

Re: What the Butler Saw - info please

The handheld stereoscopes had a sliding card mount which you could adjust backwards and forwards to get the best position to suit your eyes.

Re: What the Butler Saw - info please

There is no shortage of stereoview cards on ebay covering every genre. Standard stereoview cards measure 7 inches by 3 1/2 inches and individual photos vary a bit but about 3 inches square. Your cards look larger than this but hard to judge from your photos - so maybe you will have to make your own....

Re: 50 years today

Re: Repairing a cog

Re: Auction madness downunder!

I think the seller will be very disappointed when the purchaser claims his money back from the auction house if this has been wrongly described. Sounds fraudulent to me.
