Be influenced by what moves you - if you want a light get one. A small battery LED light with sticky pads and hide away inside over reels, they last for ages on batteries. I've got a Jubilee mk1, and no, they didn't come with lights, but I don't care as it's flipping mine and I installed an old pygmy lamp. I like lights and it looks a lot nicer on its stand at night and can still be played as reels illuminated.

Looks great. I painted the red in on the badges on mine, I think it looks better.
Anyone know what the little round window is, on the side? Thought it might be for a play meter or something.

Oh yeah, defo going to paint - they look great, really makes the middle stand out more.
The window on the side is to read the play meter. I have the counter on the side of my mech, that was one of the reasons for putting a light in so you could see the counter and mech.
Going to try with the battery light as it will only light the reels, nothing more to light up on these.

The window on the side is a jackpot counter - mine still had this attached. :lol:

Hi, is there any chance one of you guys could post some pictures of the coin mech, as mine seems to have the arm missing that pushes the coin down the tube.
In my pics I think there should be a rod that moves down the bandanna-shaped hole that hits the coin down. Need to find out if I could make one if I can find some pictures on how it is attached.
Cheer guys - hope a few of you have these machines.

The cover is not on, so we cannot see the linkage that should be there that is operated from the operating arm.....do you have the levers and links, see below

Hi tf, no mate that is what I need to see, I've got no linkages at all so I need to mock something up if I can see what is missing.
That's the only things missing and I'm pretty sure that no one will have these as spares so looks like I'm going to have to bodge something up. It's looking where and what they are connected to. Whould appreciate some pics of the back and side to show me how it's connected to the arm please. :D !THUMBS!
I presume on the pic I've put up this is where it is connected to the arm. Would like to do it right and sure I could knock something up to fit.

I may have the parts, but would need to check as these only existed on early Aristocrats as they changed the coin acceptor assembly after the Sheerlines.

I am getting errors trying to send a private email to you and cannot send picture in messages.

So I have an arm as mentioned, that should work, off a Sheerline.....if you choose you can cut rounded like original

I have no spares coin engagement levers for Clubmasters, but the Sheerline has a similar longer version with the correct attachment for above arm. You could cut shorter and bend as indicated if you have a good clamp....I would bend while long, then cut and maybe heat before hand......

I do not have the very large shoulder bolt that holds this in place, so if you cannot find one, maybe a appropriate fitting bolt with a shim in place may do the job...

Cheers Tom,
I have a couple of shoulder bolts or could knock something up to fit and a really big thanks for digging through your treasure to find this stuff for me, really do appreciate it mate.
I will send you a PM with my address if I can and let me know how much including postage and I will pay you before you send it. Can't wait to get the Clubmaster up and running because the wife will let me bring it in the house then instead of calling it all junk. 😂 Like I said to her, it's my junk that helps pay the bills.

All done painting the badges and it looks so much better.

Pennywise. Would you be able to take a close up photo of the award card please? The payouts have been altered on mine, and a handmade award card made, would like to go back to original.
Thanks.

Aristocrat Clubmaster award card

That's brilliant, thanks.
Got the payouts sorted on mine, this afternoon. Firstly, the coin slides were in the wrong order so it was paying out 7 coins, instead of 10, then the payout fingers. There are 9 fingers, 4 of which had no springs. The 3/5 finger and 10 finger were fine, but the 3 after which should be 14, 18, and twenty were all 10 coin fingers. The 4 with no springs were all 20 coin fingers!
Anyway, after some treatment with the Dremel and a file, I've got it working fine, apart from the award card.

Anybody know what the 4 spring-less fingers are for? I guess different reel strips with more payouts.

Funny how often machines turn up with slides wrong way round, I can only assume the less knowledgeable owner having a play....

Interesting the finger question, as you say more fingers normally refer to machines with other win or special award options, seen often on later Aristocrats.... What is odd is I had never really noticed this myself as looking at one of my Clubmasters, it is the same. The last four fingers are unsprung, but do have holes for wins not on awards. What is strange is that the top win is normally near the hub, but the Aces are the last finger working 5 in from the hub. !PUZZLED! I am going to check a few machines now as this is an odd one.

If you put springs on them all, lots of mystery jackpot wins. :cool:

Not mine, I used 2 of the 20 coin fingers to make the 14 & 18 fingers!

By the way, your award not only gives usual card symbols as awards with Aces being jackpot, you also have the Aristocrat symbol as the Jackpot... This was often seen on later machines with the Crown symbol and Aristocrat word... Do you have this on you reel strips, as all the ones I have owned stop at Aces? I had assumed this symbol started being used on Sheerlines onwards. !PUZZLED!

Thank's Special is that the correct order of the payslides as i have only 5 working and one that was in the cash box when i got it, why it was taken out god knows.

Your slides look in the correct order, but need that slide put back at the top. It should be a 2 coin payout. You will probably have same issue as Special's machine where the operator chopped the Ace, Queen and King payouts so 14, 18 and 20 only pay 10. So if you also have the spare upper fingers, as discussed above, you could return your machine to full pay... Not sure how your award has been changed, maybe just stickers with 10s on....

Yes TF, it had a sticker with 10s on it that I peeled off, but in special's picture of the slides the spare I have looks like it goes 2nd from bottom according to the pic. That's why I asked if that was the correct order.
At least I have the info now how to get it to correct payout, so it's just where to put this slide now.

If you read his comments you will see his were wrong.

From bottom up on yours, the first slide would be 3 coin, then 2 coin, then the big 5 coin, then 4 coin, 4 coin and on top a 2 coin.... From your picture, assuming your spare slide is the same thickness as the one second from bottom, then it should go on top of the stack as previously mentioned. Good luck.... You got those parts fitted yet?
