Help with my latest project

And here is the finished article..!

On reflection I think I may have somehow managed to miss polishing the front plates looking at the picture and the bumper I obviously did polish!

Thanks Paul,

Not my best job to date but it was a real state to start with so I guess I shouldn't expect miracles!

I was pleasnantly suprised how easy it was to replace the missing reel strips - actually just needed to manually line up a couple of known combinations and then it was easy!

Nice, I'm feeling inspired to consider thinking about planning to decide to restore my Hi-Top BONUS

Digging an old topic, but someone from Norway posted some pictures on a Facebook group of one of these Las Vegas Coin machines, but what is unusual is the arrangement as it is setup so much like a Jennings with escalator attached to the mechanism as well as the jackpot. Also the rear hood clips slide like a Jennings. Never seen another.

'JOKER' instead of the Bar. Some Buckley machines had that.
The 'Guaranteed Jackpot' is a Buckley thing, too.

Funny I was wondering Buckley with all the cast coin chutes and also the case of the machine has no jackpot window. I have now seen they guy had two mechanisms below, which has 777, so more likely for this machine.

Never seen the first mechanism before with that jackpot. I wonder if off a later open front type machine like the Mills did where the escalator protrudes through the casting or maybe some kind of half top, weird all the same.

I have yet to own a Buckley and in fact a Watling machine, never ben driven towards them, but who knows
