Done... and thank you.

Topic merged - Site Admin. Prompted by my enquiries about the incorrect pay-out amounts from my Aristocrat Starlite, those with more knowledge than me suggested that it had might have been 'converted' to new pennies with just the application of a 1p denominator badge to replace the old 6d one. Havi...

Thank you for that.. Completely understand ... Should nobody come forward.. I'll just have to use extra pictures of mine :burp: As I understand things... ok for an adult to buy and have at home for fun... illegal to sell without the appropriate license? I would of course be picturing privately owned...

As a journalist and an excited new owner of an Aristocrat Starlite I feel compelled to write about it. My colleagues at Old Glory magazine have said "yes please" so off I go. Getting 'as found' pictures is no problem... mine fulfils that quite nicely. Post restoration pictures are more of ...

Quick calculator bash... about 25 cm of pay-out tube... 6d at about 1.4mm thick... 200 or so needed?

There was apparently a 1p denominator (is that the correct term?) attached to it at one time (he handed this over with the machine).

But still pre-decimal... Yesss!!! To my mind far preferable!

Even as a newbie, it's logical that all the oddity with the pay-out adds up to it still being on 6d...

Out came the vernier callipers... A difference of between 0.14 and 0.2 mm between old new pennies and ‘new’ new pennies. I learn every day!

A stand... In the words of Frankie Howerd ..... Ooooh stoppit! It'll have to put up with the workshop bench Strong consideration of getting it on tanners though, maybe try and grub up 20 so I can give it a try for a full pay-out. Questions... 1. If it's not paying out the correct amount because its ...

Magnetic Coins It occurs that newbies like me may not (I didn't) realise that later modern coinage is magnetic The composition of 1p and 2p coins was changed from bronze to copper-plated steel in 1992 and the composition of 5p and 10p coins was changed from cupro-nickel to nickel-plated steel in 20...

The kitchen table comment resonates... It's a veteran of my many dalliances. At least 4 clocking in machines, umpteen Kart engines and recently a couple of race-car cylinder heads that needed 'clean room' attention for measure and build! While resistance is probably futile I shall try to temper my e...

Topic split & copied from Introductions - Site Admin. SO... first newbie question... Approximate date? I'm assuming post 71 as it's decimal. Second newbie... the carcass is blue (Hammerite type ) paint and if it's an overpaint it's very neat. Front mesh has definitely been overpainted. Any idea...

You know what it's like, you casually mention to a pal that you'd like another project and they pipe up.... What about a fruit machine, wouldn't that be fun? The inevitable internet search followed, this with three main criterion in mind 1. Cheap enough. 2. Inexpensive... 3. Not much money Suffice t...
