Re: My thing with slots
The Jenny Wren used to do trips along the canal, I remember going on her when I was a kid.
I know it still runs today. There is a floating Chinese restaurant between Camden Lock and Little Venice.

Re: My thing with slots
So Jackpot could play the slots, as I mentioned before, we all used to hang around the amusement arcades, and we worked out the best time to play. But Jackpot could play certain Fruit Machines anytime and win, all the time, on these certain machines. I guess he studied those machines, and worked out...

My thing with slots
My Dad had a shop in Camden back in the early '70s, right where the market is now. It was called Bradburys. He sold Bandits, Allwins, Pinball machines, Cranes, and all kinds of slot machines, and fairground stuff. He had a mate who was a travelling showman, and used to get a lot of cheap stuff from ...

Lucky Horseshoe bonus feature payout blocked ???
Topic merged - Site Admin. I've just started tinkering with this Lucky Horseshoe, and I've noticed that there is a piece of metal soldered over one of the holes on the reel bundle/payout holes. The finger that is supposed to go into the blocked hole is the finger that hits the micro switch, and the...

Re: Burstow and Hewlett Sale
I was at the auction, and I was surprised with the condition of the items. I know the Lone star is very rare, but it was in a bit of a state, and Im sure there were parts missing inside. The "Seeburg ice hockey table" was in a right state. The goals were missing and blocked up, so the ball...

Re: Challenging Bradley Challenger
I had the same problem, but I did manage to get it all back together. As far as I can remember they have to go in order. The long thin lever next to the chute you are putting back needs to be in the correct position, so the brass bit goes onto the cut out of the chute. Once you have done one the res...

Re: Eastbourne auction
I was at the auction. I bought the Sega/Mills Lucky horseshoe, lot 145. It is all working now, and it's really cleaned up inside now. I've got a mate who is sorting the electrical bits out. I just need to sort the paint out. Yes, it was full of dead spiders and all sorts of muck. I was suprised how ...

Re: Mills or Sega Lucky horseshoe???
Thanks treefrog, I thought it was a mish mash of both Sega and Mills. I bought it at Eastbourne auction for £270. I have seen more than one white Mills Lucky Horseshoe that has been restored, but they were a little different to my one. I guess a lot of machines had parts swapped and rebuilt, so it i...

Mills/Sega Lucky Horseshoe/Devil
Topic merged - Site Admin. Hello, I have just got hold of this Lucky horseshoe bandit, and I was wondering if anyone can tell me is it Mills, or is it Sega? It was sold to me as a Sega Lucky Horseshoe, but I'm not sure that it is a Sega. On the first reel there are horseshoes on every fruit/bar. I ...

Ok mate, thanks for the advice. The bandit you restored looks very nice, well done. With any luck my one will look as good.

Tips on stripping and repainting a Mills bandit?
I have recently bought a Mills Hi Top Blue Bell, and it really needs repainting. It looks like someone has had a go at stripping off the old paint, but gave up at some point. What would be the best way of removing the rest of the old paint? Rubbing it down, paint stripper, or is there another way to...

Re: Can anyone tell me anything about this allwin?
I will keep the backflash that came with it, and I will put it behind the one I'm replacing it with. I have taken a photo of the backflash, and my daughter is doing some work on it using Photoshop. I'm looking forward to seeing the results.

Re: Can anyone tell me anything about this allwin?
Thanks for the replies, I really appreciate it. Yes you are right, at some time it must have had a variable payout. After removing the backflash ( which is hand painted ) I found the numbers 2 and 4 above the ball gallery. IMG_8039a.jpg The halfpipe has holes cut into four of them, so the ball will ...
