FORUM

I went into the German forum Antik-Automaten. Unfortunately I know nothing about the German language
I found these pictures posted by Cleantex.

I have no idea about what the chat was about, but does somebody knows where you can get spare parts like this in brass

I bet you never thought that the backing cloth was green when you first got your machine did you?....

Yes, I have to admit I got a little suprised when I removed the spandrels on the backing cloth.

and the last ones

I used a French polish technique on the timber

Nice job rigg Please let us know how this French polish technique works

Thanks gameswat :) Are you really sure about the number 103B should be a serial number and a unique number for my machine? Mr Pennymachine had a guess that it would be a model number and in this case a machine that have an improvement compared to the clown 103. I don´t say that you are wrong but it ...

NICE WORK

It has been really fun to follow your restore of this machine. Hope to see your next project too.

You are not only a good restorer, you also have great taste of music ABBA from the great country up north

Thanks BP for your advice. Sometimes I think too complicated "can't see the forest for all the trees" (or is it the other way around)? You know what I mean. I just cleaned it, stretched out the leader a bit and put some silicon cream on them. Now the damper works perfectly and I have adjus...

I add a picture...

Thanks Arrgee I have disconnected the damper and unfortunately it is the same. The damper has hardly any resistance at all. I think the gasket is too worn. Maybe if I get the damper working, the spring that forces the arm down and the damper would compensate each other. That way the handle would tur...

I assume the handle to get the ball rolling from the top is going to turn quite easily.
Could this be the pump that is not working as it should?

Thought I´d ask before I do something stupid (again I have to say )

:dammit: :dammit: :dammit: Was going to correct the hinges. When I was removing the door I smashed the coin slot in the top of the cabinet. The coin slot is in mazak (monkey metal) and it went into a thousand pieces. Someone knows where I can get another suitable coin slot :-? Maybe someone has a sp...

Don´t worry :roll: I have listened to your advice. I won´t destroy it with a major renovate I stick to the light polish and some oiling to the mecanism. I don´t think a have the heart to do it anyway. I looked up Barbara Cartland on internet and that is a good example not to do it :D . Anyway I am v...

Here come the documents.

This is a machine I bought a year ago on ebay. I think you collectors with more experience than I have do know what I mean when you got a machine in rather good shape. Should you start to restore it or should you leave it the way it is?? One day I think RESTORE IT :???: . The other day DON´T DO IT :...

Hi there rigg!
Thanks for your answer .
Mine runs quite smooth.
You don´t by any chance know where I can get a lock to my machine

Here is a machine I bought a year ago. Now I am in the middle of restoring it. I bought it trough ebay and it comes from Florida. I was told it is from the early 30:s and was made by Peo Manufacturing Co. If someone knows anything else about this machine, please let us know. When I bought it there w...

I also want to thank mr Pennymachines for all helpfull information. Maybe someone knows the difference between the clown-numbers and what it means. There is a lot os numbers between mine 103B and arrgees 8303B :-? If the British was behind the patent of this machine idea and the Germans was the firs...

Thank you very much Penny Machines :D Great information :D I am although a little confused about where the machine is coming from. On the instruction card I read "made in France" It works with old pennies. And you tell me it comes from Germany . :-o When I bought it, the seller wrote that ...
