Re: Bell Fruit Cascade

Well finally got round to getting it working and it is soooo addictive, spent hours on it in the last couple of days. I have one issue though, the bonus chute seems to ‘give way’ after no more than 3 coins are in it. I’m guessing it’s either too sensitive or something is wrong with the alignment. Ha...

Re: Bell Fruit Cascade lock

Hi TF, I did think that myself but the barrel in my machine has a head diameter of 18.7mm and the replacements are all 16mm.

Bell Fruit Cascade lock

Hi,

I’ve looked through the previous threads but can’t see what I’m looking for.

Is there a suitable source or replacement for the Bell cascade locks ? The lock is out, I just need either a key or a new barrel.

Thanks

David

Re: EH / Collector Connector sales

That seems to go against what I understood. I thought Steve just accepted the highest bid. If the seller gets to choose to accept or reject the highest bid, then surely any lowball bids would never get accepted ?

Who kept check on the operators?

Something I’ve been wondering about and, I’m sure some of our older collectors will help me with, is were there ever inspections of the operators and their machines to make sure they were not fiddling the payouts? With stories about payout fingers being removed and award disk holes being filled up, ...

Re: Restoring award plates

I put it into an ultrasonic cleaner which removed every bit of paint/ink, then under a microscope with a very fine brush added the paints back onto the plate. I used Tamiya lacquer paint.

Re: Stolen Machines

I’m sure most of us have alerts on all the web auction sites as well as eBay and marketplace, so hopefully they turn up. They may just try to sell them to some antique shop ?

Me again after more advice.

What techniques do people use to restore metal award cards such as this one ?

All sorted now. It was as simple as a weak spring not doing its job on the clock.

BDR reels spinning slowly

Topic moved & merged - Site Admin.

My BDR top reel is spinning slowly and it seems to be because the ‘win pin’ starts to touch the lower win cog as soon as the sequence starts.
Has anyone experienced this and know a fix for it ?

I’d come to the conclusion that old furniture was probably what people used and you’ve just confirmed this for me.

Making cabinets

I’m sure it’s been asked before but where do people get their oak from if they have to make a new cabinet ?

I’ve noticed some cabinets are made out of several planks glued together but some are made in one piece.

Would love to know people's thoughts.

Just in case anyone wants some artwork for this machine, here is what I've reproduced for mine.
