Re: Greeting from New Zealand

Are those the original reel symbols? When did these 'new style' symbols start to appear?

Re: Mills/Sega/Jennings Lucky Horseshoe/Devil/Chief

It's my view that the machine isn't in ex-service condition. Notice, for instance, the American 'checks only' designaton. The removal of the drop jackpot probably coincided with its first use in GB, or is in line with a subsequent change in gaming regulations; probably the cash payout limit of 10x t...

Re: Where to next?

Powell's Automatics made loads of interesting Jubilee conversions, the best known being O-X-O. There's a now-scarce one called Pot Black, with a snooker theme, which ought to be a collector's item in its own right.

Re: Jamieson/Streets et al. Snap bandits

Do we have a timescale for production of these machines? I always think of them as part of the flurry of new games which came with the introduction of the New Penny. (Brenco Heads & Tails was another).

Re: Sega Diamond 3 Star Jackpot Mechanism

Payout slides are plentiful; they are Mills-pattern. The escalator is probably a roll-down Shefras type, a very common retro-fit from the day. Unless you are an absolute perfectionist, you should be able to make a credible machine from this with very little effort, especially with the expert guidanc...

Two manufacturers there I haven't heard of!
