Confirming the above the handle release is electro mechanical, I had a similar one called Sailor. It was also on free play and took me ages to sort it out, turned out that the wiring to the light tubes was wound around the wires to the handle release solenoid and a tiny current was being induced acr...

.............. that is my shed!

....... but you can't keep your biscuits in a Hi-top

I know just the person who'd have that .... oh hang on! it's yourself!

.................got a picture?

any idea how much its worth and is there any information online about these? Thanks Gary In the past we've tended to shy from valuing machines it's such a contentious subject. Suffice to say one man's wotsit is another's thingy. The mech could be exactly what someone is looking for and the machine ...

Every Nevada I've had had that lever fitted I thought it was to enable you to lock the jackpot off when removing it without it dumping in your lap?

sure do ......... it's a lot of handbag!

Back doors appear on ebay now and then, can't say I've ever noticed the cost likewise cash boxes. We may get some in the Coventry auction but won't know until later. It's not uncommon for mech serial numbers not to match the case serial number as they were all whipped out at the end of the season fo...

Congratulations Lora, I've never seen so much activity and willingness to assist a newbie before.
You've certainly stirred up this bunch of old codgers with your bright enthusiasm, I just hope they've got their heart pills in reach. Keep it up and good luck with your searches.

Welcome Lora, nice to have you on board, don't be worried, most of us don't know what we're talking about ........ ask our partners.

I once had a Sega that sported two factory fitted additions. One was a plug that sealed up one of the bells on the first payout disc and the other went on the brake star wheel to prevent it from stopping on a Bar.

Coin-op gives good advice, it may also be that you have two many thin coins which coupled with another clue you give us "how many coins are put in at once." would be enough to jam any machine.
Try it with only QE11 pennies and edumicate the little blighters to only put in one coin at a time.

Well done everyone, but ............ was it an original or a copy?

I've had a couple of nasty ones in my time .... if that helps.......

I'll get my coat

Hey Stuart your Mrs. has shoved you on Ebay and only £50
Clever Clicky Thingy

I can remember the days when £150 got you a pair of Hi-tops in perfect untampered condition mutter mutter, a new suit ..... two stone of monkey nuts ...... mumble mumble - youth of today!

Smart machine, all looks ok to me...................

Having had several E/Mech pinballs and most of those Zachs my advice would be if it works don't tamper, there are so many contacts ..... leaf switches etc. that you'll be bound to upset something that was previously working.
Deal with problems as they occur and not what might benefit from a clean.
