Re: Allwin Deluxe backflash
Some people like what is generally called ‘patina’. Unfortunately I’m not one of them. You wouldn’t keep an old car in a worn and scratched condition or call it patina and I don’t see the difference. If I can restore a machine to a condition it might have been in when it was new then that’s my prefe...

Re: Spicers slot auction 25 Feb 22
I just noticed the Bell Cascades at £650 and £700. A complete machine in good condition is no more than £500. Both were missing parts and that was only what we could see from the front, wonder what was missing in the rear. Unfortunately auctioneers who can’t describe them accurately enough taking ad...

Re: Restoration of Mills high top, and Mills Jewel bell.
Hi, Well 9 years later and I now own both of these machines, apparently taken to Oz and then brought all the way back and ended up local in Lincoln ! I'm after some help with the Jackpot on the Hi-Top. The window has a metal spacer ( shown in photo) but this allows both the jackpot and the reserve t...

Re: Bell Fruit Cascade
There are two mistakes everyone makes when working on a Cascade. First they take out the glass and all the parts "cascade" onto the floor, second when they put it back together they put the top arm of the bonus retainer in the wrong way round (you will find the bracket is not square at th...

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 ?
