Much thanks for the picture! :cool: I've got a lot of help from USA some time ago. Special thanks to CoinOpCollectorForum.com. Meanwhile i rebuild the payout system to max 20 coins payout. It was reduced to max. 10 coins payout when it was converted for German post war market. I cast the missing sli...

Currently I'm doing tests with steam to shape the veneer before glueing. Its a very diffcult job. The grain direction is 90 degrees offset to the base

Thanks for the information :D Youre right, its not easy to get really god veneer these days. Here were a small company in my neigbourhood which delivers the veneer for Rolls Royce :cool: The price was high, but i could check every sheet before buying. I used this type of material for the Zeppelin ve...

Excellent work, TF!

Witch type of filler and what kind of glue (for fixing veneer) did you use on the Caille project?
What thickness have the veneer?

A lot of Merkur parts are Mills or 1 to 1 copied from Mills. The clock is modified to "produce" the 15 seconds runtime per play according to german law.

The swatistka is mostly used by several companies as a symbol of luck.

I think the only German company which used it deliberately to Nazi Germany was Erbü.

Is there a reason that the manufacturer is not specified in the auction description

Nice digital displays

Thanks fot this information

I have used old sheet metal stripes which i had in stock. OK, they have some scratches, but i like them.
It´s still some work, i have to bushed the clock and install a future play display.

Hi gameswat!

Contact "Deutsches Automatenmuseum" , they have a complete machine in stock, maybe they could help you with pictures.

Thanks for your answers!
The machine has no assembly for future play. I think if it ever has one, it was removed long time ago. A sheet of paper was glued on the window.

Have bought a converted Watling Blue Seal Confections.
Hope someone could tell me about the function ot the small window at left.

... but you can’t beat original parts. Thats also my opinion. In case of Wulff parts it may be helpful to cast them with a modern alloy, but not printing. To use a 3D printer to build up a modell for casting is ok...but not more. I´m a little bit old school in this case, but it´s part of my hobby t...

Hi T/F. Don't suppose you have a handle plate in that useful pile, do you?

Do you need the complete assembly or only the plate?

The handles assembly takes a hammering and the weak pot metal seems most affected here, especially the internal clamp which crumble.

Hi Treefrog!
The clamp is a typical problem part on Novomat and later machines. Are this parts also recycled in the Roma?

The "Brevete SGDG" coin insert was a typical purchased part, used for various machines.

Are the fixing screws for the knobs (three per knob) slotted, or seemed they to be unusual?

Looks like an integrated scale.

There is one member who has over 2000 scales (a lot of coin operated) in his collection.

Hi PM! :cool: I think the top is not original, but very old. There was no red or blue paint under the enamel sign. DSCN5649.JPG The playfield seemed to become the hardest part. Here a mirrored picture of the wooden plate. The white rings marked holes. Two colums pick up three balls, the fourth activ...

Have removed blue and red paint in large amounts
The wooden case shows some scratches...normal for a over 100 year old machine.

There is still a lot of work to reconstruct the playfield.
