Re: Duomat penny slot machine
I was wrong again, TF didn't have 6 only 5
Your machine looks to have the makers reg plate on the front, if so ,with typical German efficiency that should tell you not only the year it was made but also the month and day
The first one I had took 1d and had the playfield converted to 1d payouts which I think look a little plain. The one I have now is on 1d but I have returned it to the original Pf numbers on the playfield and info cards and I think it looks much better that way. You can see the difference in TF's video and the photo above it. However, if you do wish to use the UK coin markers I am happy to send you the kit I made myself (see below). The last photo is how it was when I got it.

Re: Duomat penny slot machine
Who?
Have you started making machines out of corpses Paul?
If I tell you the location and plot number of my late Aunt, any chance you could do me a Buckley Bones?

Re: Duomat penny slot machine
My god you are picky BP, you didn't used to teach Latin by any chance did you, they used to be picky about the wording just like you.."people they called the Romans they go the house" sounds as good as "Romans go home" to me.
Re: Duomat penny slot machine
Please children, play nicely!!!! Well it arrived today and I had some clearer photos emailed to me. I will list them in the order that I would go about repairing it.
Firstly, the arm that links this to the wheel is clearly missing.
Secondly, the back plate at the beginning of the machine is missing. (I have cut one of these from mild steel before so think, unless anyone has a spare lying around) I can manage this.
Thirdly, the clock. Which if I understand from an earlier message needs to be soaked in Diesel? Is that regular car diesel? Seems to be attached with just 4 screws and easy enough to remove?
Lastly, I'm not sure if this has come out in the pic clearly enough, but there seems to be a missing part connecting the first part of the coin chute to any other part of the machine!
There are bound to be other issues, but if I can get it turning, I might be able to diagnose more myself. Help please always appreciated. Mei-mei

Re: Duomat penny slot machine
Hi, coppinpr. I love the look of the stickers, does that mean that my machine is in phenigs? If so. does that mean it would pay out in phenig quantities?

Re: Duomat penny slot machine
No way to tell for sure till you run it, depends on the conversion. What does the info card on the machine say about payouts? The numbers on the top circle are certainly the Pf ones. Is there a maker's licence on the front? If so, what is the date out of interest?
Don't forget the clock is connected to the machine so it can do its job, not just the four screws.
Not quite sure what you mean by the back plate
When you drop a coin in the slot what does the coin do/go?
A strong word of caution! Your machine looks very dry and stiff in the photos. Do NOT force it in any way. The mech is made of pot metal, designed to last three years then be scrapped. It's close to 70 years old. Parts WILL break if under pressure.

Re: Duomat penny slot machine
Way ahead of you on the oiling front. OMG spent a very happy 3 hours oiling, checking connections, adding missing springs and C clips. Only info on the machine is '0BEN Angezeigter Betrag' on the front inside the lower round glass, and the number 005848 on the metal plate where the penny goes in on the side. No makers mark as far as I can see. Also checked the penny slot, which helpfully takes a penny that goes part of the way down and then gets stuck. On second inspection I was mistaken about the missing back plate, it is in situ, so undid all the screws and eased the plates apart slightly which helped,but think the problem is with the rather shoddy adaptation to a penny from phenig. Seems to have been a poor connection to the tube leading to the payout slot and on just a quick look the penny catches on the tube which has also been hand crafted rather poorly.
Would love to purchase a set of english stickers if you still have some. How does it work, can you do it through paypal? Payout info on front is in pennys. Have I forgotten anything? Mei-mei

Re: Duomat penny slot machine
Do you want the kit on plain paper, photo paper or sticky-backed matt/gloss vinyl? Do you want it now or when the machine is running?
Re: Duomat penny slot machine
Sticky back for sure, but as to shiny or plain it kinda depends on what the original would have looked like? Also your advice on whether to try to remove the old stickers first? Another problem that appeared yesterday was because it doesn't have a back door to act as a stabiliser, it is hard to keep it in the upright position to work on it safely. Anyone out there gotta spare door?

Re: Duomat penny slot machine
I'm searching on my computer for the sticker kit, but as yet it's lost in the maze. It was some years ago. I'll find it, give me time. Do not remove the old ones as yet, I may need the measurements to create a new set for you later.
The problem with the back door is... it's not a back door, it's a half cabinet about the same size as the front half (see one of my photos earlier). Even with the back half they tend to fall over when you work on them. Best way by far is to remove the mech which comes out in one piece very easy (I think 3 wing nuts and a couple of cir-clips and it's out). Then you can work on the case easy and the mech easy as it stands up nicely on its own.

Re: Duomat penny slot machine
Thanks, helpful. Still need the other half (door) though or the mech might get damages with use.

Re: Duomat penny slot machine
I may have the frame for the back bit, probably tatty as hell, but it's a start.

BP you are a life saver! I can deal with the cosmetics not a prob. How do we proceed? Mei-mei
Re: Duomat penny slot machine
P.S. BP, I have attached a pic of the mech attached to the handle at bottom of the machine. It would seem it is missing a part where the rod attaches. Might you also have one of these?

Re: Duomat penny slot machine
I was running out of room in the truck, so didn't get to load all of my machines, but remembered to dig out the "gash" Duomat.
Turns out it has 3 sides of the front case but none of the rear part - sorry
The mech is lacking payout tubes, slides and clock - but I seem to recall you're ok on that front.
I think it's the handle and gubbins you need.
Look at the photos and have a think.
