Re: Buckley kicker question
Is that not an earlier attempt to repair the worn kicker? If it is, then the changes you made to the kicker would not help. It could be that the added kicker extension is made of a softer metal and has bent slightly over the years (it looks it). If so, bend it back and test again.

Re: The Forum's yearly check up
However the sheer knowledge of some members can be intimidating. I'm sure it makes some members wary of posting and risking their wroth (and sarcasm) true :lol: The real key to any forum, on any subject, is post volume. there needs to be a continuous stream of posts so people think to take a daily/...

Re: Can anyone ID this machine?
I managed to get a couple more photos (not very impressive). The owner thinks possibly made by Peter Barson (a new name to me).
I've circled three areas new to me.

Re: The Forum's yearly check up
I did a yearly "state of the forum" for some years but stopped when activity on the forum took a nose dive (not that it got bad, but quite a drop). I might take a look at the stats and see how it's going now, clearly still strong,but replies are slower to come than they used to be, I have ...

Re: can anyone id this machine?
I couldn't say, I've never seen it close up. The maroon section appears to be attached to a metal area of the same shape.

Pete Barson wall machine identified
I'm doing some work for the owner of this machine. I've never seen one before. Anyone have any info? I really need to know if the central wording is at it should be.

Re: Trouble with Aristocrat reels not releasing
The dog will not change this, other than ensure that the arm that retracts the fingers lifts on top of the lever highlighted in green Tom, I was under the impression that's exactly what he's saying does not happen? It appears the round thing on top of the rear V section (see photo) is not raising h...

Re: Trouble with Aristocrat reels not releasing
As BP says, it's going to be the dog and anvil. From what we can see, the dog is very worn (much more than usual). If you can't adjust it into the right place (which is never easy), you might need to replace it or reshape it as a last resort. As to the brackets on the main operating bar, most machin...

Spreading the word
I had a pleasing and unusual request sent to my www.penny-arcade.info website today. It was from the head librarian of the Niagara Falls Library, Canada. She had a request from a member of the library for information on a specific slot machine, described as "a grasping mechanical hand trying to...

Re: Nice row of cast iron machines
I agree with Tom, how did those machines stand the weather on a pier? wind, rain, cold and salt corrosion! I think the bucket was to accommodate spitting out your chewing tobacco prior to the photo. At least, that's what they're used for here in Tennessee. Luxury, when I was a lad we dreamed of havi...

Re: Bryans Hidden Treasure
I was thinking the same about the numbers being out of sequence. All that was needed was one more "X" on the 145 machine and it would all fit nice and cosy.

Re: Bryans Hidden Treasure
As to the Roman numerals, what's needed is a third machine displaying the numbers, to get a good guide. Gameswat's original idea of the 1978 update makes perfect sense on the first machine as it reads 78 in Roman numerals. Could the second machine simply be a case of the guy not knowing the "L&...

Re: Mills/Sega/Jennings Lucky Horseshoe/Devil/Chief
Perhaps that 5/- is in tokens rather than a token,in which case 10 6d tokens would work if the machine has a separate token tube

Re: Celebration
modern thinking is that in the future flight crew will consist of one man and a dog, The dog will be there to stop the man from touching anything and the man will be there to feed the dog.

Re: Worth a few bob!
The photo is listed as "confiscated machines". and if that a showroom I'm surprised they sold any machines, the full photo shows casino tables on their sides and other gambling equipment, a card table can be seen behind the Mills roulette, hardly a display room

Worth a few bob!
I wonder if these machines are still in this warehouse where they were put after being confiscated. I assume the one near the man would be the most valuable (Callie Peerless?) Can anyone ID the one second from the right?

Re: CELEBRATION
Would be nice for you to own one of the machines you played as a teenager.
