Wonder Win and Place allwin machine

I find it hard to get serious over 1/4 inch plywood

Me neither but headmaster Pennymachines might come after you with a big stick. MM

Ok, so just dismantling the metal work on this machine and noticed that it is missing 3 of the control wires two lower ones in place top three missing. (See pics)
I could really do with a blueprint, template for replacements or at least a diagram and measurements. Anyone able to oblige?

Take another look at the images 13rebel posted on the second page of this thread - they tell you everything you need to know. It appears you're missing a shoulder screw (identical to the others) and the three upper wires. These act as gates impeding the downward progress of the ball until the handle has been turned. If you unscrew the various plates, you can see how it works by observing the ball channels. Find some similar gauge steel wire (I confess to using old coat-hangers on occasion) and use the wires you do have as a guide in shaping new ones - they terminate with the same bends. You have to get the lengths just right. If they're tight up against the end of the slots they'll obstruct the payout movement, so expect some trial and error. Sorry, I can't offer dimensions as I don't have a Win & Place.

I've been watching this video last week. For me it was great to learn more about allwins.
Maybe useful in this matter? Very nice site and the owner is also a member I believe?
