Re: Single machine Permit, this what it looks like

Why would they? They only pull machines that are reported to them, i have heard of people contacting sellers and asking if they have a permit then apparantly reporting them to ebay

Re: Primus slot machine


primus.jpg

I'm guessing it's this one. If the case is in good condition, the mech works correctly and you like it: £150-£180.

If the case needs work: £100-£120.
If the case is good but the mech needs work: £100-£120.

If both need work: £80.

Re: Primus slot machine

only Primus I've ever had, I made tea on !PUZZLED!
!TWWP!

Actually, I do know what it is - A Wulff, German-made wall machine,
but two things: we must have photos and we don't usually like to value machines.

Single Machine Permit - what it looks like

Well, it's arrived at last, I'd frame it but it expires in 12 months :#: . My conclusions: It's not that hard to get. It does allow you to sell the machine. It is now clear you don't need a permit to own, maintain or repair a machine (unless you intend to sell it). It's a great feeling to sell on eb...

Bad restoration on TV

I just watched an episode of American Restoration on TV and it contained an appalling restoration job he did on a Mills Hi-top. Nothing special about the Hi-top except that it MAY have come from the "Silver Slipper" Casino in Vegas. I say MAY because the only clue was the replacement top n...

Re: What have I bought? Misleading belly glass

Have to say I prefer the yellow one, Check the escalator, it might have been by passed because it takes a different coin - 6d most like. Never seen a "reserved" slide on an Aristo but they are common on another Australian machine, the Jubilee. I have tightened arms on machines but never an...

Re: Ebay & Gambling Licence

If you plan on keeping the machine and making any repairs or maintenance to it so that you can sell it, then the permit would be for the sale of the machine only. You do not require a permit to use the machine on your own premises and maintain/repair that machine I've just re-read this and it's rea...

Re: Ebay & Gambling Licence

I'm beginning to think the Gambling Commission is just an excuse from pushing paper around.

Re: Ebay & Gambling Licence

Does the eBid one tell you how many have viewed or are watching? ..... for comparison. The same machine had 34 VIEWS on ebid in 7 days, on ebay its 111 VIEWS ,26 WATCHERS in 24hrs Just to reassure you there is no 'Bot' on Ebay that is rejecting machines. I never thought it was a bot, in fact I was ...

Re: Well I'm certainly fooled

and I wonder how the Iranians interpret this weirdness ?
They wouldn't like it because the photo shows people doing exactly what they WANT to do, no matter how weird. In Iran, you do what God, The mula, and the male population (in that order) SAY you can do, however weird - no other options.

Re: Well I'm certainly fooled

Actually I think it's their way of dealing with political reformers. I believe it's another male interpretation of the Koran like covering your wife in a tablecloth which also doesn't occur anywhere in the good book. I've always wondered if they pull the tablecloth off in one fast swoop when they ar...

Re: What have I bought? Misleading belly glass

Good luck getting a reply from Powell. Sometimes a day, sometimes three weeks. I'm sure he will have the strips, but don't expect them to be the same as yours - they won't be. You will need to adjust them. Have you actually checked every payout combo to see if they pay? The most likely reason for re...

Re: Ebay & Gambling Licence

Although my single machine permit was granted a week ago, I still haven't received it, so I called the Commission. They told me I should have got it but one department had signed it off and the second had not. The very helpful guy told me because the permit is considered a very high risk level (are ...
