Bryans allwin anti-bounce unit identified
Hi All,
I have a question regarding the "unidentified flying object" that exists on the vertical bar (see the screen shot). I try to figure out what is the function of this element but with out any progress yet...
Can someone explain what it is and what is its function?
-Thanks

bryans elevenses part help
Topic merged - Site Admin.
I have just rebuilt my Elevenses and I am stuck as to what the part arrowed is for ?
It must have a purpose but I can't work out what it is?
Anyone know please ?
Also is it possible to get the ball to return to play after a win or not ?

Re: bryans elevenses part help
I refer you to the answer I gave only eight years ago!
Should be a ball bearing in there.

Re: Bryans Elevenses anti tilt identified
Thanks mate.
By the looks of it, that spring shouldn't be on there either? It can't be doing anything.
How do you get the ball back into play after a win ?

Re: Bryans Elevenses anti tilt identified
I think you'll find that spring controls the flux of The Earth. Don't remove it without warning us all first!
To alter the ball return after win, look to the left of The Earth flux Controller.
You'll see the funnel that the winning ball passes through.
Inside it there's a deflector which sends it back into play or leads to the rod that holds it for the next penny.
That deflector is adjusted by the red painted thumb screw attached.
The family of the last person to remove that spring .......

Question re Allwin mechanism
Topic merged - Site Admin.
Can anyone tell me what the purpose of the indicated part is in this image? Perhaps some kind of counterbalance assist for the payout mechanism? I see it on some machine images and not on others. Where I have seen it the images aren't detailed enough for me to be sure mine is properly connected. Why are there two cotter pins that the upper arm moves between? Should something be connected to the upper arm? This machine is an Elevenses.

It's an anti-tilt device. Previous threads about it now merged above - Site Admin.

Re: Question re Allwin mechanism
BP must be having a bad day. The first thing he should have said was his usual "welcome to the best slot forum on the net."
So I'll say it, "welcome to the best slot forum on the net"!

Re: Question re Allwin mechanism
Apologies pschimpf, I wasn't having a bad day, I'd suddenly realised I was running late and should have been well on my way to pick up my new toy 50+ miles away.
Thanks to coppinpr for stepping in.

Pilwin 56 anti tilt question
Topic merged - Site Admin.
Hi folks,
I have a Pilwin 56. Looking at the anti tilt mechanism with the ball bearing in it. Is there something missing such as a spring etc? I cannot see what it actually does. Picture attached
If you have one of these could you post a picture so I can check it against mine please.

Re: Bryans allwin anti tilt device
I think this device was only used on Bryans one-ball allwins, and not all of those. It's on my Pilwin, not my Gapwin.
Four queries in and we've explained what it's for but not how it does it...
You will notice from the other pictures there is normally a right angle bend on the lower 'finger' of the thin tilting plate (yours has been straightened out). Presumably the idea is that this comes to rest against the payout locking bar below it (when the tilt ball has rolled to the right), thus preventing that bar from being lifted by a ball in the win position.
As a gravity dependent device, it is uncharacteristically finicky for Bryans - it might work if perfectly clean and lubricated. I notice it's held in place by a single wingnut, as if they knew that sooner or later the operator would remove it. Also, I can't work out how it is supposed to reset itself once tilted. Surely the operator didn't have to do it? Is it described in Bryan's adverts? Not mentioned on Melvyn's font of all Bryans wisdom. Strikes me as more of a sales gimmick than a practical feature, wall-mounting being the standard deterrent to tilting. Bryan's fans feel free to tell me I'm tilting at windmills...

Re: Bryans allwin anti tilt device
No Mr P I think you're wrong there.
I've only seen one Bryan's Windmill and I didn't see an anti tilt gizmo on that.
A clockwork motor yes but that was all.

Re: Bryans allwin anti tilt device
If my calculations are correct I'm pretty sure that while you were perusing said Windmill you drank the vintage alcohol contained in the fluid flywheel BP!?
Re: Bryans allwin anti tilt device
Many thanks for the explanation as to how it works. This is exactly what I was trying to find out. With your picture I can see how mine has been bent and altered.

Re: Bryans allwin anti tilt device
I think Pilwins, U Wins and Gapwins are probably the only allwins to incorporate this device, as those are the ones where the player could gain higher payouts by tilting.
