Brighton Beach bonfires
Years ago, I heard a story that when Britain went decimal, as all the old machines were going to be too costly to convert, all the arcade and fairground owners got together on Brighton beach and burnt all their old machines.
Did this actually happen, and has anyone got any pictures?

Re: Williams Pinball
Sort of related, as it's a Williams of the same era, this is one I'm restoring. Someone had painted over all the lovely graphics, fortunately, I was able to get the paint off with some strong cleaner I 'liberated' from work, a few years ago.

Re: Electrodart on eBay
Finally finished the woodwormy Electrodart. Electrics were a bit tricky, but after a bit of work, they now all work OK. Had to replace the capacitor on the play relay, & also fitted a bridge rectifier in place of the old selenium one, fitted 2 LED bulbs for the main lighting, as they run a lot c...

Re: Williams Pinball
Saw a few of those drawings on a F/B group, the other day. Good find.

Re: What colour to stain a new softwood case for a Rotofruit?
I've just made a new base for my Electrodart out of pine, & I used some Ronseal 5 year wood stain (mainly 'cos I had some left after painting my gates), & it seems a reasonable match.

Re: Electrodart on eBay
He did say that it had worm damage, but he didn't think it was recent. I've not found any live worm yet, so think they all died off years ago.

Re: Electrodart on eBay
I bought the Electrodart, picked it up Tuesday, & started work on it today. It was very wormy, but apart from the base, the actual case isn't too bad. The rear panel & the board that the door electrics mount on were toast, I didn't need to unscrew anything off the back board, the screws just...

Re: Slot Market News 86-91
Wonder what happened to all those old machines? Hope they're all out there, in someone's collection.

Re: Don’t let go
Whales Win a Chew, all original, complete with patina. Gottlieb Buckaroo pinball. Aristocrat Clubmaster. Not the most sought after bandit, but I love the way it looks. Mills/Boland bandit. Again, all original & never restored. One I wish I'd never sold? 1971 Williams Jackpot pinball. My first pi...

Jamieson Automatics Starlet restoration
Topic split & moved from Jamieson Automatics Starlet Information manual V1.1 - Site Admin. Well, thanks to Dickywink, I've now got my Autofruit working. There were a few loose wires, & a couple of old light switches & an extra relay, which I presume was some sort of payout limiter, so I...

Re: Electro-mechanical Wall Machines
The wiring diagram would be a great help to me. I've got an Autofruit, which is almost identical to your machine, that needs a rewire.

Anyone remember, a few years ago, when the Hand Cranked Pleasures auction was knobbled because someone reported it to the GC?
