Thank you Admin, that is brilliant. Didn't think the cashbox was that big, but it makes more sense now with the chamfered edge and the various slots inside the cab. Will knock one up in ply, and before gluing I will dry fit into the game, to make sure the door still closes and that it sends the coin...

Hit n Run back together working. Pays out up to 8 pennies if you load all 3 bases and make a home run. This game was missing the cash box and 1 or 2 coin chute parts. I made one coin chute plate to guide coins to the pay out tray. I made that out of thin stainless, after making up a template out of ...

Try F-20 starter 4-2 Watt 'HPM' brand or S-2. These mostly work well, but I have starters that refuse to work on Aristocrat Fluro's on 1970s era bandits.
Another one that works in my game: FE-T 4-22 Watt. That's an Aussie brand, also 'Clipsal'.
Good luck.

Insert them with glue till they have gone right in, then I lift them back a few mm's then trim with side cutters. Then glue i...

Can you post a few photos?
Are the hinges loose because the screws are loose in the timber ?, or are the hinges knackered?
I am sure someone on here can tell you where you can get the correct hinges it needs , good luck

Coin parts are made, I put together the coin tube, which I will need to shorten and or modify slightly if the coins won't slip off into the cash box properly. I will see when the game is complete and operating. DSCF2234a.jpg My friend made up the Teflon housing and put together the 4 fancy spring lo...

Made the small ratchet part needed out of 3 Pinball target lifters, I used 3 to build up the thickness it needed. Only a bit of grinding and one small hold drilled to take the spring, it worked after 1 minor filing. DSCF2227a.jpg New cards and decals fitted. Thanks to a collector friend Adrian and h...

Hi Ralph Found this one, if it's of any use. Alan Thanks very much Alan , wow that was quick , was hoping someone had one cheers , that looks great. I will send you a private message alan Thanks again to BP also about tips about the resins too The only Wonders coin slot of the same style I could fi...

Oh I see, yes I could paint out the bottom part of the P and be left with a small capital D. I made a few Wonders coin slots a few years ago out of Prince August metal, I think I may still some somewhere. Hi Alan57, if you do find any would you be prepared to sell one? It will go to a good home. :D

The existing penny badge could be 'de-decimalized' quite easily, until the right one could be found. Was thinking of doing away with it altogether if I can get the cast one, but good idea about changing it back. I could get a decal made for the time being. wonder-pools-525x700.jpg DSCF2204a.jpg In ...

Hey Ralph, I'm in Perth but sold the last Wonders allwin over a decade ago so can't help you with looking at another original sadly, which of course is the best way to go with jobs like this. I have a few other allwins awaiting restoration and various parts though again nothing Wonders. What is act...

If I ever get an Aussie bandit still on pennies, I'll have to import some. Your 'tanners' are insanely expensive over here. I gather you kept a high silver content right to the end. 92.5% silver from 1910 till 1945 then 50% silver through till 1965. We went decimal in 1966. I bought a 100 early one...

Are pennies hard to find in Australia? No I just ordered a 3kg bulk lot of them. I had a few dozen already, but not enough really seeing it might take more than that to hit the jackpot. I will convert it all back to use pennies now, after reading all the replies, plus I was wrong about the thicknes...

Thanks for all the welcome ... Topic split & continued: Wonders Hit-N-Run Restore - Site Admin.

Part of the payout ratchet system at the lower part of the vertical payout arm is missing and the ball trip lever appears to be stuck in the down position. These photos may be of help. Yes that's the part that is missing, the small ratcheting lever. I have a fitter machinist friend that can make th...

Hi From Perth W. Australia. Studied electronics at high school for 3 years during the early 1980s, before starting an apprenticeship as a electronics tech. We even had a Gottlieb Card Whiz in the classroom and a tesla coil amongst other cool stuff. The card whiz wasn't working but, as an older kid h...

Copied from Hi from West Australia Site Admin. ...my latest find was saved from a skip bin by a friend - a Wonders Hit-N-Run. I am working on it atm and need tips with the restoration work. I will make a new post with some pics and a few questions. The Pics I show are of the game removed from the l...
