Marvel trade stimulator without coins
Re: Marvel trade stimulator without coins
Evening all,
I just made a trade and scored these two nice ones. The disc in this Comet is blanco so no numbers. Will try to figure out how the mechanism is working this weekend. The reels of the Comet don't spin properly, so a new adventure. Because I know you like pics, here's a quicky.
Greetings

Re: Marvel trade stimulator without coins
I like these.
I can't find a photo of the Marvel with that particular grooved case. The other one is interesting - it's a 1950 "non-coin Comet" made from Duval parts bought up by Comet when Duval closed down.

I thought the Marvel only had two grooves in the case, but looking at it again I think it's just the way the photo is shadowed.
Re: Marvel trade stimulator without coins
Thanks for that coppinpr, just made a start of cleaning a lot of dirt so i can see the parts . When i Pull the handle the mech works, the only thing not happening is that the reels get a 'kick' to spin. For the rest iT Will make it's cycle. Someone can tell me what can cause this? Thanks in advance!

Re: Marvel trade stimulator without coins
I'll dig my version out later and have a look. Is the kicker moving into position to push the reels?
Re: Marvel trade stimulator without coins
IT Will sound stupid but I don't know what or where is the kicker?
Re: Marvel trade stimulator without coins
Just took the Comet to take a look at the mechanism. When I pull the handle, the reels only get a push and not a kick. It looks that the handle don't go far enough to give the kick. When I put the mechanism in the Marvel case it's the same problem. When the mechanism is out of the case and I will do it with a screwdriver it will give the kick.
Anyone an idea? I don't

Re: Marvel trade stimulator without coins
Start by checking the arm movement on the case with the mech out,see if its giving full movement that would be transfered to the mech if it was in the case
Re: Marvel trade stimulator without coins
Thanks for that coppinpr, but that's not the problem I found out. I don't know the mechanism, so have to discover everything. After trying several things it seems to be the roller that is hit by the pin that releases the mainlever. The roller that is riveted has a little space, so he is just a little bit downwards and too late to release the main lever.
Now the reels get a kick on the ... each time I pull the handle.
Does anybody know if the sticker with numbers for the disc are somewhere available?

Re: Marvel trade stimulator without coins
i think i printed mine on card and stuck it on with glue, but paul is offering you one on vinyl so may be a better option.
Re: Marvel trade stimulator without coins
Coppinpr that would be great! Maybe you can pm me about the costs? In the time i replied i saw your reply. Maybe after this reply someone is offering to come to the netherlands to put it on the disc

Re: Marvel trade stimulator without coins
paul i am sure it should be set at the correct size if it was to be printed on a4 paper, i done mine white but you may want to tone it down a bit if you prefer.
