Banditboy, you might like to quickly edit your email address out. Better to rely on sending a PM from within this website if you don't want to be swamped with spam mail...

That is fantastic, Scottie. Are the dimensions of that part true? It certainly proves that 3D printing could be a solution for replacement of low-load components.

Was it Leonardo DaVinci that wrote in mirror script? *

A very nice arcade, Mr Merrivale. Some lovely machines. I look forward to having a play when I next pass through Great Yarmouth.

Just mentioned to the wife that hotels in the States were putting bandits in bedrooms and and asked her to give me a hand with getting the Sega Continental upstairs to our room. "You can f*** right off with that idea!" was her instant response. Women! No sense of humour.

Welcome to the site and thank you for the interesting article. Can't imagine why this was popular (BP, look away!):

That bar style is the same as on my Watling. The fruit patterns do not match, however.

When I was a kid over 50 years ago, their days were numbered.

As usual a good un from the master

Hook, line and sinker... 'master' indeed.

Is it possible the vendor components were removed by an operator? Presumably, the vendor ruse was not needed to circumvent gambling law in the UK? I suggest this because I have a Watling that was the subject of a Samson conversion and that has a dowel used to fill the hole left when the vendor handl...

BP, I still have to buy advent calendars for my children and the youngest of them is 25 years old!

I see the form and no error message, PM. I am running firefox on a windows 10 box, if that helps

What a cracking game! Never seen one working before, so thank you for posting that clip. I think that would be quite addictive.

I had a Bally. It was a lovely machine, working perfectly off the full copper 2np coin. For years I tried to get my eldest son to take ownership of it (he is in his thirties now and had been playing that machine for some 25 years). Finally, having bought his first house, he said 'yes'. Into the Land...

£5 per year? I would pay more than that just to read the BP missives! And, occasionally, I read a post that is absolutely spot on and I wish there was a means to simply tick a box saying 'I agree!'. Mr Peterson's thread earlier in this post is an excellent example. Well said, Sir! Now, please explai...

You would be well advised to do your own research before committing to importing any machines. Shipping firms might be a good place to look for guidance.

I thought "how hard can this be?" Wow, what a minefield. Don't take this as gospel, but this was the closest I could find. (Remember that 20% VAT is added to the sum of what you paid for the machine, plus shipping, plus duty (if any) and there is probably also going to be a handling fee ch...

I gave up on buying bandits after the tenth one so, whilst I plan to someday (perhaps) move on four of them there is one that I will always keep: a Sega Continental. Now I know you (Mr Coppin) are already thinking "that is because you cannot lift the bloody thing" but it really is my favou...

I guess that is the difference between an auction house that accepts internet bids and one that does not.

I'm currently going through a downsizing phase. At first I thought the above was part of the sentence above it about big knobs. then I realized your talking about machines,so we can expect some of your machines for sale at www.penny-machines.info ? Hey, Paul, you getting your websites confused?

£2 coin. Did you know the Royal Mint still makes a small number of thruppences? Something to do with them being needed as part of Maundy Money sets. Once we get through this Brexit business, maybe we can have a referendum on returning to a currency based on £-s-d? That will challenge the digital gen...

I like a bit of "captive coupling" on the right day !OMFG! :cool: Is that not just another name for 'marriage'? By the way, I have absolutely no knowledge of the electrickery stuff, so am unable to provide constructive comment. My apologies to radiochrissie. I hope you find the part you n...
