Hi, coppinpr. I love the look of the stickers, does that mean that my machine is in phenigs? If so. does that mean it would pay out in phenig quantities?

Please children, play nicely!!!! Well it arrived today and I had some clearer photos emailed to me. I will list them in the order that I would go about repairing it. Firstly, the arm that links this to the wheel is clearly missing. P1010005a.jpg Secondly, the back plate at the beginning of the machi...

Appreciated BP. I won't exactly know what I need until I can get eyes on and then won't be sure until I have asked a few more questions. But def will be in touch to see if you have what I need.

Thank you tree frog, will keep that in mind and maybe get back to you for further information.

Not at home at the moment, but will check when I return and try to get some pics. Aprox mid next week.

P.S sorry forgot to say, I believe it was a penny machine originally, judging by the spacing of the pins, but I could only find chutes for a much smaller coin so I made the sizing for the old silver 3d coin which works quite well.

Hi, Thanks for your comments. I wish I knew more about it. It is difficult to tell who the machine was made by as all relevent info was burnt off. None of the original case survived so no serial numbers or makers name. Judging by the quality of the image, it did look as though it might have been sup...

Post split and moved - Site Admin. Hi, coppinpr, bit embarrassed to send you this, but you did say you liked pics! This is my first attempt at repairing a penny machine and it was a doozy. My father pulled the remains of this one out of a bombed out pub in London in approx 1946 then put it in the g...

Thank you, I will send him a message.

Hi, thanks for your insight. If they are missing is there any way to replicate these pieces?

Thanks guys, the fog is clearing here. I agree it would be better to diagnose when I have the machine in front of me. My skills in repairing machines is in its infancy :smash: so I will get back to you when I have given it a priliminary inspection. Love the idea of a plastic coleslaw pot for the cov...

Thanks for clarifying that. So just because I'm having a blond moment (though I'm not blond !PUZZLED! ) does my machine have a penny shute or a phenig shute, cos the one in the pics sent to me has a shute at the bottom of the machine and one in the middle. Mine only seems to have a shute at the bott...

Appreciated thanks for the advice. I see what you mean about the coin slide, so the penny slide is at the bottom of the machine and the phenig slide in the middle, do I understand you correctly?

He he he. The thread re: grease very helpful and funny

I did spot one thing, the coin slide that goes across the middle of the machine from left to right as you look at the pic, seems to be missing?

Hi, yeah kinda guessed that it might be. He said he had found old victorian coins in it and had dated the machine by the date on them.

Oooo I just remembered, would you recommend grease or oil for this rather sadly dry machine?

Hi, pics very useful. I have had a message from the site, I think, showing me how to attach the photos, so hopefully they are at the bottom of this message!

Thank you so much, I do not have the machine at the moment but it is being delivered in about a week. The seller has sent me some pics, but it's not clear and I have no idea how to upload them on this site? Thank you, Salli

Hi, I am new to this site and I have just bought a Duo Mat which I know is not working properly. Does anyone out there have pics of the mechanism so that I can compare it to mine and see what is missing? Thanks so much.
