Be warned these machines become addictive. I started with a Jubilee bandit over 20 years ago and now, roughly one machine a year later, we have a games room full. The grand kids love them.

The question mark on the picture usually indicates the image is slow loading up.

Re: Mutoscope Stand!

Amazon say they are out of stock of the book.

Re: Jamieson/Streets et al. Snap bandits

I’ve emailed the person who built up the new set of switches, as per photo.
I’ve asked him to contact you to try and help you.

Re: Jamieson/Streets et al. Snap bandits

I was contacted by another slotty last year with the same problem.
He replaced all the micro switches (many were broken) with some he purchased from Amazon. But he did not give me any details.
I can email him and get further info.
See photo.

Re: Spicers Auction 24.11.2023

Watched live online.
Many lots did not receive a single bid and were quickly passed on.
The Disney automata machines only received a bid on the one unit which sold.
The auctioneers asked for opening bids which were just too high.

Re: Isle of Man Steer-a-ball

Most of us have projects in various states of rebuilding in the workshop. I was drawn to it by the Isle of Man course, several fellow members of my local motorcycle club have competed in the TT or Manx races, one very successfully but sadly one losing his life. What an interesting machine it will ma...

I know it’s 16 years old, but did this machine get restored?
Does anybody else have one?

In Yorkshire, nice means very good, spot on.
These machines are far from that.

Re: Jezzard Tap a Coin

I’ve ordered the diodes and capacitors.
The wiring is very simple, I just don’t understand the need for the rectifier diodes.
I will soon get it going.

Re: Novelty Merchantman Crane

I rebuilt a Bonzini crane and had to fabricate a lot ( the main bracket had metal rot!) The only thing I didn’t do was the position indicator. I have marked the knob so I know back and front. Put blue tack on the jaws and win on it most times. The grand kids think it’s fantastic. IMG_0858.jpeg IMG_6...

Re: Jezzard Tap a Coin

Thanks for all your help. The video is not very helpful. Looking at it is confusing. There is a NC micro switch operated by the coin as it drops from the 2nd run down to the 3rd ‘tap’ point. There are 2 micro switches as the coin drops out of play 1NC and 1NO. I intend to renew the rectifier diodes ...

Re: Jezzard Tap a Coin

I will probably have to remove one to read all the details.
Would it be advisable to fit 3 new ones?
I could probably get 3 new ones from RS components
I’m in the next valley in Greetland.
