Not a machine but really useful tools.
Clearing out my van prior to flogging it I came across some of the most useful tools I ever bought for working on bandits.
The fact I last saw them over two years ago demonstrates I've done bugger all work on any bandits for a while.

Fantastic for hooking up springs at the back of slides, peering into awkward bits like the reel striker or holding a screw in place while lowering a screwdriver down through various bits of gubbins.
Dead cheap too.

I don't think it really matters what time you order them jimmy, just make sure you're not holding one the next time you have an itchy bum.

Re: Not a machine but really useful tools.
Some years ago I was in Estonia and bought loads of these dental probes, needle point tweezers and several surgical lock clamps (some with long handles over 12" long - great for grabbing that screw that fell in the works) from an antique/junk shop selling old Russian Military equipment. These must have been expensive when new, as they are made of top quality surgical stainless steel and precision made (well Russian precision). I find these very useful. There was also a long nozzle metal syringe - great for precision oiling.
By chance I'll be in Russia and Estonia in two weeks time, so if anyone wants any of this stuff just let me know. I can bring back as much as I like because I'll be on a ship, not flying, so bringing in sharp, pointy heavy stuff is not a problem. I'm sure they will still have some - they had bins of it there. Let me know if interested.

Re: Not a machine but really useful tools.
Thanks to a long line of retired dentists in the family, I have a good set of these already. However, I've been nursing a toothache since Friday.

On the contrary dear fellow. The stir fry was delicious. I blame my misfortune on damage done some years ago by a rogue dentist (no relation).

Particularly useful for coin slide reassembly spring reattachment, used mine a lot over the years.

Re: Not a machine but really useful tools.
I bought a set of these last year (For dental inspection, not slot machines )
The case that comes with it is pathetic, so made a little leather pouch for them - think they might have to move from the bathroom to my garage now...
