Sega payouts

This is my current escalator.

Well it's a a standard escalator with most of the works removed. Can we see the other side of it please?

[geordy55]

Do you mean the front side or the left side?

Normally when they chop the teeth on the slides, they also modify the lower bar to be angled downwards to allow the coin to roll down, especially on larger and heavier coins like 3D and 1D. I guess sixpence is small and light enough to fire across.

These mods were done to reduce the time spent by operators clearing jams, as these escalators are prone to it..... I sold a machine to someone recently that had a Chalmers chain driven escalator allowing you to see the coins, but with the reliability of the chain drive like on Jennings... Seen lots of old ads of these even in the States... I have two or three spare ones.

Just realised that as it was converted to 10 coin max payout and the fingers butchered so the top 3 don't work. It also means the jackpot cannot be activated as that requires the top payout slide to operate and it never will until I get some un-butchered fingers.

I remember buying a machine a few years ago and there was a set of spare fingers taped up in a pack in the cash box. I'll look see if I've still got them... I'd forgotten all about them, god knows where thy ended up, but I'll look

Thanks in anticipation.

Also Mystery payouts do exist and will either be a 10 coin payout usually combination of orange with melons or a 2 coin payout on combinations I cannot remember.

Mine are:

Orange Orange Melon
Orange Melon Orange
Orange Melon Melon
Orange Melon Bar

All pay 10 coins. Most Segas pay these amounts

As mentioned there is also on some machines a mystery payout of two coins, usually includes the lemon.

[geordy55]

So far the mystery payouts on my Sega are all 10 coins and as follows:
Orange - bell - £
Orange - £ - bell
Orange - orange - £
