Thanks, helpful. Still need the other half (door) though or the mech might get damages with use.

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

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?

How do we proceed?

1st thing is you have to laugh at BP's jokes. It's not easy but pays dividends

Wow you wanna make this really hard. Ok, he he he he he

This really is your lucky day!
I'm aiming to collect all my babies Sun 18th December.

All hail BP all hail BP!!!!!

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.

Closer ones of what the back of the handle mechanism should look like ......

Hi, sorry for the late reply, I have been away for a few days. Yes that's the baby. I need the connecting shaft thingy and the bit it is immediately attached to. Thats a great start for me thank you so much. Keep an eye out for a back of some sort. What do I need to do now? Mei-mei

Just had a thought, if you don't need the three sides particularly, could I canibilise them to make a back? Mei-mei

Might be tricky mei-mei, but not impossible, as the rebate in the door would be the wrong way round

Thanks for your concern. The only thing I have in my favour is that I have a background in furniture restoration so, fingers crossed this should not be too much of an issue.

Hokey Cokey .......

This is the case, which is minus the bottom width. You can see the dials because the mechanism is still sitting in it.
I'd sell it with the front casting and handle as I can't be bothered to dismantle that assembly.

This is the gubbins that is on the back of the handle, you look to be missing part of the turret and ratchet.

In this photo I've left the mechanism in (you can have that as well if you need it, it looks cleaner than yours and has no Monkey Metal deterioration, it's missing the payout slides and tube, also the clock.) I think you need both linkages indicated by white arrows so, even if you don't want the mechanism I'll include them, what about the one by the yellow arrow?

So over to you, what do you want ..... what do you not want?

BP (Who's sure he knows if you're male or female)

From what I recall the rebate or groove in the front door is made identically to the rear, but the rear had a piece of wood glued in to make the tongue. So, easy enough to glue a similar piece of wood into the female front groove to make it a male back door!

Hi BP, could you give me an idea of what you want for the whole thing plus postage. I can manage without some of the bits but I can't get to the machine to check at the mo because I am at my daughters house for a few days and not because I am in PRISON!

Not really rocket science to work out which gender I am as I signed my email to you using my first name.

Hi gameswat, yep I notice that too and have already in my posession appropriate ply for the job. Mei-mei

mei-mei ......... please email me your postcode, then I'll draw you up a figure.
