Anyone spotted the Sega Bandit on Ebay at the moment? It's for the case, and all fittings, but no mechanics!!! Complete with phone number to call. I'm guessing the insides are available privately, nudge nudge wink wink... Well done to whoever this is (maybe someone on these forums?). Very clever ide...

What such a shame that a hobby so harmless is so hard to pursue. Maybe collecting knives, guns and drugs may be an easier hobby to take up!!! Sad to see the disappearance of the Slots from Ebay... Find it quite boring now, typing in Slot Machines, and being bombarded with plastic toy slots!!!! Looks...

Hi Guys,
Does anyone own or know someone who owns the Mills Future Play machine, who they can put in touch with me. I'm after some High Quality photos of said machine. It's proving quite elusive.
Thanks.
Example of machine below:

Ouch, that looks messy... If I'm honest, I think you're mad leaving those electrics in there. From memory, I believe there are no true earths in that wiring. Those transformers get hot and if the coil breaks inside - potential melt down or worse, fire! I think machines do look nice lit up, but would...

Been offered this slot, but I don't have a clue about it.. Only had pictures sent, but looking closely at the workings they look somewhat different from usual Mills type mechanics?

Is it someone on here... we're all gonna be paranoid here now. Is it you, or you, or me!!! Ahhh

Let's get the Sherlock Holmes hat on and solve the mystery....

Thanks Jerry, Glad you liked the article. As Jerry mentioned the photos will do the article justice, so hopefully these will be on line after Christmas. I have further articles that may be of interest following recent trips to Vegas, and the teaching of my computer students of how things were achiev...

Hi Guys, Have been reading this post with interest... Just wondered if anyone else received a message from an eBay member when they listed a machine. I had a machine listed recently, and received the following message from another user: "Hi Do you have a gaming licence as I understand ebay will...

Just wondered if anyone owns this book, Automatic Pleasure - History of the Coin machine. I've tried searching for pictures of the content, or reviews but found none. Can someone here give an honest opinion of the book, if its just picture after picture, or does it give info about the machines it sh...

Stumbled across this web site, thought you guys may be interested in getting your loved one to buy you one for Christmas, if not, buy it yourself..
Ties with slots and more on them!!! A tie may go well with my jeans, T-Shirt and trainers....

Just a thought, has anyone here ever considered arranging a trip for PennyMachine members to the infamous Chicagoland Coin Op Show that is organised twice a year. We could treat it as a "Jolly Boys Outing / Holiday / Buying trip", a group of us fly over, have a few beers, chat about slots,...

:HaHa: :HaHa: :HaHa: Just flicking through Ebay, and noticed a Sega Bandit up for sale.. £1,500 buy it now.... Mmmmmm let me think, shall I grab my wallet and buy this bargain of a machine..... Nah! I think not! Where do people get these price ideas from, Sega machines like this never have, never wi...

Thanks for the ideas.
I'll check out the 20p thing, see if they roll as well as a round coin!!!!
As for the suggestion from Elephant Auction, I rather fancy the Vintage Antique Disco Rope Lights!!!!!

Does anyone have any 5c/Nickels they don't need? Or know where I can buy some (without flying to the States!!!), maybe one of our American members can help out? Or is there an equivalent UK coin size? Thinking of buying a machine that takes 5c coin, would prefer to keep it on that denomination. Thanks

I can't wait to the Auction... I love the back page of the catalogue, Page 20, Additional Lots... I just know that when I turn up, there's gonna be announced that 2 late arrivals have been added... A Mills Futurity, and a Mills Horse Head Bonus... Well we can all dream!!!! Off to blag the cash point...

andydotp your knowledge on these Jennings is outstanding. Thanks for the info. Really solves a lot of puzzles for me while I was stripping.. eh, the machine!!!
thanks

Operator Bell you are correct, those are the payout values. Last night I rebuilt the whole Jennings Mech, I had every nut and bolt apart, cleaned and ready for action. Started at 9pm Saturday, gave myself a couple of hours to totally rebuild, in fact I was so cocky that I even believed it'll be done...

Thanks for the info. Will try 10p. As you own a few of these, just wondering if you can help on this... As you can see from the picture this Jennings has 7 slides. The picture states how many coins are held in each, what I've never seen before is the top one...its HUGE!! it holds 7 coins... is this ...

I notice on Jennings they always have 2 pulls for 1 coin. This I hate - I like to grab the punters money from EVERY pull, :HaHa: , that's the greed in me coming out!!!!! Apart from this, why are so many of these Jennings on the old 5p (or should that be, Shilling!!!). Is there an EASY alternative, m...

Thanks for your comments. My next project is the workings of the Mills HorseHead Bonus mechanism, how it manages to pop the letters up in sequence, and know which ones are already displayed!!!! Some might say my videos help educate the younger generation on the absence of electronics... others just ...
