Re: Rex Rotor problem

If I read this right, the machine is tripping the RCD in the house before blowing the fuse.
If it is, you have probably got a neutral to earth fault occurring.
An overcurrent fault should take either the trip or the plug fuse out.

Old Pathe films

Not sure if anyone's posted it yet but British Pathe is now on youtube with 80,000+ clips. Only found two so far for amusement arcades.

Re: Bally Electro Mechanical owners

Timmo, How much of a project are you looking for? I have a couple of Ballys that I might be willing to part with. Two are almost finished projects and one is a complete start and I can't recall what the last one is. !PUZZLED! I am just outside Portsmouth. I would be willing to part with one to the r...

Make your own parts

I was reading yesterday how scientists are now able to 3d print with metals. How long before we can all have access to this technology? It was not long ago 3d plastic was new technology, now look how far it's come. Just think, the ability to print out new parts for your beloved relics. !!THUMBSX2!!

Shipping from Dublin

Just wondering if any members knew of the cheapest way to have something shipped from Dublin. Said item is £250, the weight is, say, about 85kg. Looked at collecting myself, but the ferry was £295 return, so wondering if anyone knew of a regular traveller who might bring said item over. I could coll...

Re: New Addition - Bally Sir Prize

Re: New Addition - Bally Sir Prize

I'm just off to work, doing a late shift tonight, but, without getting my book out, they determine the length and order of stopping. If you move each bar 1 hole forward, you will see. You can always move them back. Is there a definite touching to the bottom plate? The springs should pull those lever...

Re: New Addition - Bally Sir Prize

Those bars do sit close to the ground. Make sure that on the first reel, the bar at the front is in the second hole on the bar, the second reel in the 3rd hole, and the last reel in the fourth. Check this, then we will look from there.

Re: New Addition - Bally Sir Prize

Make sure you have cleaned every bit of gunk off. Also check the bars underneath. They should be in different holes: 1st reel in hole 1 nearest the front, and then the second and third reels accordingly. And most of all, and it can be boring, keep playing it. They seem to get better the more you pla...

Re: Call Bally Experts - Ebay - Should I, Shouldn't I?

Hi malcy, I owe you a bit of an apology - I ended up buying the 4 reeler against my better judgement. I should have taken my own advice. On getting it home, it has totally the wrong hopper in it. Not much chance of getting another one so am going to adapt this one. The one you were interested in - I...

Re: Call Bally Experts - Ebay - Should I, Shouldn't I?

Malky - I have a 4 reeler which is why I didn't fancy this one, as I have one almost the same. Mine is a Slimline Super on 10p play, 200 coin jackpots. The 5 reeler I think is the E series. I spoke to the guy and there is no hopper for payouts - it's all paid to a credit meter. I don't think it coul...

Re: Re-Chrome

I did actually sand it down to so the chrome was removed. The paint is Halfords Peugeot Royal Blue with a coat of lacquer on top. It does chip, so wondered if a stove enamel finish would be better. Just trying to gauge what people think of a non-chromed finish. At least with paint you could choose a...

Re: Re-Chrome

OK, given up with rechrome due to cost and it's a shame to let a machine go because of badly pitted chrome.
So what you think, right or wrong? Answers appreciated.

Got that feeling of deja-vu. I do apologise and thanks to Op Bell for the correction !!THUMBSX2!! Next time I must get up and look and not rely on my fading memory.
