Isn’t fablon wonderful 😂 Still working on it, cab not ideal but actually looks quite good! Not a bad match really.

You'll probably find T60 and 61 have met their maker as they do suffer from battery plague. I usually replace all the components in the RAM supply section (can't see them from the photo) as I expect they would have all been affected too.

Cardiff the capital city of fruit machine manufacturing.

Not a lot of people know that A.C.E. bought Gilbern cars in Llantwit Fardre in 1968 the Collins family sold it in 1972 for £1. I did work at Gibern cars for a while, not for me, heavy work didn't suit me. There were a few new fruit machine companies setting up in the late sixties. One of these was Automatic Amusements. They were working from an old disused garage in Richmond Road very near the junction of City Rd/Mackintosh Rd/Crwys Rd. They did conversions of mainly the Monte Carlo I think if I remember rightly the machines were called San Marino. Yes I worked for them They didn't last long, One of the owners was Dave Shenton. He joined a company I mentioned earlier Lynguard Automatics. Lynguard was based in Sanatorium Road Canton. Again I worked there, I have just realised I followed Dave Shenton (no I wasn't his love child). After stints as a bus conductor, a milkman, a mobile hot dog salesman I went back to fruit machines. This time as an fruit machine/ juke box engineer with a London based company called Gainsmede. The Cardiff offices were in Leckwith place Canton. My love affair with fruit machines ended when I left Gainsmede. I became of all things an entertainer.
