Sega Clover Bell

[dutchboy]

I just scored a Sega Clover Bell today, just in time before leaving for a holiday. I never have seen one, except on the internet. Does someone know if these machines have no reel brakes so the reels keep rolling till they stop? When you push the gum button each time it will give a gumball. Do I miss a spring somewhere maybe? At first sight it’s not so easy to take the mechanism out, I think I have to take off the handle first. Another machine to explore, but first a nice holiday so it’s got to wait a couple of weeks.
For the people who also go to travel, enjoy it!

The reels are on a ratchet mechanism and will stop themselves randomly.

I saw one of these at a jukebox fair in Brighton some time ago and it was priced at 175 quid and appeared to look very clean. I was quite taken by it. I seem to remember it being supplied with tokens marked Sega. An attractive piece and more in the look and feel of a bandit for display over the Mills/Sega Vest Pocket. Nice find, congrats!

Thanks for that! I can’t find much about it now, wondering if there was a cashbox from origin. When I’m back home I will take the mechanism out to explore it.
