Thanks dirk.
It's a nice machine and after I've cleaned the back playfield up it should look better. Ideally it needs a new front glass.

The lamps in these are called festoon bulbs. You can't use LED lamps as the the filament lamps already fitted are AC. The LEDs are DC. It will not work unless you alter the lamp output to DC. It will also need to be regulated and not just through a bridge rec., otherwise your LED lamps won't last 5 mins.

I am interested in [please post adverts in the wanted section - thank you]. Does anyone know where I can get a good working one.?
I am in the UK

OK Bingolette fans, I have spotted something kind of interesting:
In this video of the Flip Expo show in Le Treporte, France I spotted what looks to be a modern solid-state version of the Bingolette games?
It is in a cabaret arcade cab and the winnings seem to be digital numbers.

Anyone know what this is?

5:10 in the video video

I don't know what it is, but nice line up of wall machines, briefly glimpsed.

I got so annoyed when the video briefly showed that tables of penny games, and then the guy just pivots and goes the other way! COME ON!

Does anyone have any info on the "timed version"? How does the timer work?
I haven't found any schematics that include the timer.
Ours is autoplunging immediately.

A more important question:
the coin microswitch is busted. Can anyone recommend a replacement that would work???
Any help greatly appreciated.

My Rialto is all fixed and working great!
You can find my friend's repair thread here: https://www.maaca.org/viewtopic.php?t=25552

There is shrink tube over one of the switches to prevent the timer auto-plunging the ball.
North America is 60 Hz to 50 over there, so things run a little bit faster and the auto plunge was rather fast. Can readily be undone.

Now on to my Ballwin project...

Hi cait001
Glad the rialto is all up and running I'm sure you will have lots of fun with it.thankyou for posting the link very informative.

That looks great. I have exactly the same Rialto model in full working condition. Got mine from the late Harold English. They work great on the new 20p coin and make a very nice money box.

Mine seems to use Canadian nickels ok.
Can you post a photo(s) of your money box? Mine is missing one.

Sorry I've been away. As soon as I'm able to access my Rialto I will photo the cashbox. My machine is in a loft eave cupboard behind some stuff and I've recently had surgery and not allowed to lift for a couple of weeks. I won't forget to do it for you.

Hi,
Anyone able to help at all - I have a Bingolett machine but it won’t pay out on the highest win.Thank you
There seems to be in all 3 wires coming from the relays and the end of of each block of numbers 2 blues and one white and blue, but the one I’m having the issue with has only one blue and blue and white.

Hi thomas911
Can you let us know if you purchased this machine with the problem or has it suddenly started?
On your Bingolett, what is the highest payout and what coinage?
Does it pay anything on highest win or nothing at all?
Best regards Derek
