Fantastic Work ... well done Does anyone know why the German wall machines did not have logical win combinations like the US bandits? For example... on Coppinpr's great artwork... there are no wins for 3 of a kind fruits. Even the wall machines that used numbers were still strange combinations. All ...

Hi Alan
What a work of art... not a grease stain in sight... an amazing beautiful cabinet.
Well done.. I love it when a Jennings shines.

Never thought about how many coins in the jackpot... but your observation is far more than I ever thought.

Many Thanks PM for that last set of clips you posted ... You have found me a clip of my 1960s Ditchburn coffee machine in action .... something I have trawled the internet for years looking for, and have never found. The clip in the film "Scotland at Six: Vending Machines 1963" - starts wi...

Hi 07smig Looking at the front door, there is a pay-out solenoid for the 25p token award but the actual coin chute from the coin acceptor looks like it should feed a hopper and it is the hopper that I believe is missing from the bottom of the cabinet, although the hopper would normally go where the ...

I hope so too ... it will be devastating if lost ... I think I have watched every one of them and always look forward to the next.
It's a great archive of some wonderful machines and always love the enthusiasm that comes free with every video.

Regarding the 4 micro switches...
Could it be that there should only be 3 and someone replaced a bad switch with the red one and left the bad switch in the machine as only 3 of them have mounting brackets? ? ?
Just a wild guess.

All the best, Dicky

Good luck Paul. Hopefully you will find a solution... I guess you could have a sliding scale... for example: 50 pennies for £5 25 pennies for £3 15 pennies for £2 5 pennies for £1 At least it would be more profitable should someone buy 5 just to take away and more economic and encouraging for punter...
