Thanks for the info. I didn't realise you could buy that type of spring. I was searching clockspring which brings returns of car parts. Searching clock Mainspring gave me a couple of hits so I will see what comes of that.

The clock spring in my Wulff Duolett has broken. Anyone know of a repair technique for this type of spring?

I'm wondering if any of you have a side interest of Jukeboxes. A friend of mine picked up this non-functional music machine a month or so back for next to nothing. It is now working and we would like to see what we can find out about it. We know it is French and a date of 1969 or thereabouts but hav...

I got the main ones from here. The 4 case ones are 1 1/2" stainless rivets that I tapped a thread on.

I know it should be red but it came to me yellow and I think it looks better yellow. I managed to locate some slot-less screws to replace the original rusted ones. Not many slot-less screws around.....

I have been searching for some good reel tins for ages and finally got some last month. Before that I had been trying to find someone with the CAD skills I don't have to do a drawing of some reel tins so I can print some. I finally found "the person" and this is what came out. I am really ...

He took $250 off me promising he had sent the items fedex. He told me that at least 4 times on email before I realised he was either a crook or there were other issues. It's not the money it's the machines that are on hold for part to turn up....

This is the one I wanted....
Now I have looked at it again after so long I would still like it but there could be better machines to desire....
How close to home is this machine Moonriver?

I wanted a Aherns Pile Driver that was in Mablethorpe. Rubbish to play but the workmanship was amazing. I would visit it whenever I was in the town but the owner was not interested in selling. The last time I went to see it the owner had died and the machine gone. One of the guys in there said it ha...

So.... Just to follow up on my last post here, 12 weeks or so ago, about sending items for chroming to ACF Howell in the midlands. 13 weeks later I have the items back and wow do they charge. They estimated about £200 plus carriage. The final bill was £303. Overall I am not overly pleased with the f...

Just to save me reading 130 pages of this post can someone tell me where you can view/ collect items from. Its not obvious on the web site...unless it is and I have missed it....

The Merkur is finally done. Not perfect, but good. I have really enjoyed doing this machine. The wood had gone and the mech just solid with rust after being under a bench for 30 years. My biggest regret is not being able to get hold of some new reel tins. The ones on it are usable curtesy of Treefro...

There was a Head Ball in Mablethorpe in the 70s. I can't quite remember which arcade at the minute. Likely Jacksons Radio. Played it a few times.

In the last 12 months I have had quite a number of items chromed and the results are as follows... RSChrome Failsworth Manchester. This is not too far from me so I dropped off the parts from a Clubmaster. They took just over 4 months to turn the items round and did tell me on two occasions they were...

This is my latest purchase. The bloke I got it from says it is a Tom Boland machine. Does that mean Mr Boland bought the mechanism from Mills and made his own case or is it an American bandit re-cased? He also said it was '50s, but to me it looks '60s. Any info on age or history would be welcome. It...

I need some new reel tins (Mills type) for a restoration. I ordered some and a good quantity of springs from MrSlot in the states back in November. These have yet to arrive and despite emailing and at first getting replies with apologies I have not had them and think I will have to write off my mone...

Thanks BP. Now you say it goes over the top of the bit circled it looks more obvious the handle isn't up high enough....

I have just got my first Jubilee and I can't get the mech out....
The part circled is stopping it coming out. I have tried some grips on it assuming it moves out the way but it wont budge. What am I missing?

Topic moved & merged - Site Admin. This Machine sold today for £1050 plus commission taking it to just over £1300. I was ready to bid and thought my 500 plus commission would seal it. Is is not just a Mills High top with a added front bit? Is it rare? I assumed it would be a copy as Brooklands ...

I have this carcass stashed away. I will check if it has what you need.


Update....Sorry it hasn't but if there is anything else from it that would be useful let me know.
