When I turn the handle after the clicks both wheels go round .They stop in the right sequence and the payout slide moves back to where it was before play about 5/6mm to right.This happens without having put any money in. When I put 1p in to play it drops through to the reject slot.If I bypass the Cr...

Thanks for your help. In the first photo, just to the right of the silver looking coin chute, is a short piece of metal attached to a spring that fits in the third hole down. It's being held up by a rod. How do I get the rod to go down? On the back of the handle there is a rod that is touching the c...

I’m not sure what coin to use. When I've put 1p in it doesn't affect the use of machine. I can use the handle any time and the roulette wheels work.There doesn't seem to be a break that shuts the game off until you put a coin in. Maybe there's something missing from the back of the handle that rotat...

I have a 1959 Duomat machine. It looks good from the outside with the nice mirrored front. On the front it say 10pf and the coinslot is small enough to fit 1np or 6d. When I turn the handle both wheels go round. I think there is either a part missing or broken off. Please see photos. Also all instru...

Thanks for replies. The plastic is only 3 x 2 inches in size so I wanted to heat the whole of it evenly to get flexibility as it had twisted both ways and had a crack in it. I considered using a heat gun but thought it would be too intense. This piece of plastic has a picture on it and I wasn't sure...

Where can I get knowledge about the various machines made in Germany ? Thanks

Topic merged - Site Admin. I have a Fireworks. To cover the hammer there is a decorative piece of plastic on the front of the box held by two screws. Over many years of existence the plastic has twisted and cracked so badly the hammer won't work. The only answer I could come up with was to place it...

Mick also made contributions about bandits in books by Richard Bueschel.

About 4 or 5 years ago I bought my first bandit from Mick an aristocrat 4 reeler. I went to see him twice and he had great knowledge of machines. Most things went over my head being a novice. He still gave me his time. This was a great experience for me as I didn’t know of anyone else who was involv...

Hi, I have a couple of allwins with lift out fronts and Stevenson and Lovett— fireworks has a lift out front.

That’s a nice machine. Is it the same size as a regular pinball?
Did they ever get to England? It’s the first time I’ve ever seen a machine like it.

Thanks for posting.

I see the empty Playball is on show from Chippenham. Not my worst buy I have to say. I can't quite remember the Sweepstake machine but it looks good. Thanks for the update.

This week I went to a locksmith with my lock and my broken key. He said someone had drilled the lock in the past. The following day I went back to him and he had a key and the lock working. I put it back in my Bingolet and yep the key works even smoother in the other lock. £17.50 I was charged. Shou...

Thanks, I have looked at other photos. Not the Watling for me.

Hi Dutch boy, how do I get the translation in English? They do look good.

Thanks dirk.
It's a nice machine and after I've cleaned the back playfield up it should look better. Ideally it needs a new front glass.

Attention folks, I won a Playball allwin at Chippenham auction last Saturday. I must admit I didn't see it advertised until Friday afternoon. In my keenness to get myself registered and because it was late in the afternoon, I asked a couple of questions of said machine but failed to ask for photos t...

Hi,
The stop post - should it have a rubber sleeve on it and what do I look for when searching for light bulbs? The bulbs are 3 different sizes.

Thanks - one more thing, when the ball is initially flicked into play the very first post it hits has not got any rubber on it. What can I replace it with?
