Re: The EXAMINER
I would have been interested in buying it, as I have the two usual conversions, Cricketers and Buy British.
Shame about the deal-breaker mentioned in the advert...

The EXAMINER
Has anyone heard of The EXAMINER, a Little Stockbroker conversion with, seemingly, a different gameplay?
It's on eBay, with an even more fantastic price than the one which sold at the Elephant House last month, but without the hole hacked into the front.

Re: Bell-Fruit 500-600
Looks at first like a re-glassed Action Line, except for the absence of the distinctive dual symbols.
Payout is electric, and seems to be all there. Does it make any sounds when you get a win? If not, it could be a simple blown fuse.

Re: Quite a rare beasty - Mills Futurity
It's happened 3 times against exactly lots of times when 2 cherries popped up on either 5 or 10. What happens is you put in the coin, pull the handle and then magic happens. BP :!?!: Looking at the reel order, I'm guessing that this is a 2x10-stop mech., which changes over at games 5 and 10? You wo...

Automatic photo booths became popular when the Working Man joined the Jet Set, and everyone needed a passport.

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: Mills/Sega/Jennings Lucky Horseshoe/Devil/Chief
It's an Instone and Ashby-style conversion, but I've never seen one on a Jennings.
There doesn't seem to be a description of the Feature?
Odd!

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...
