No the chap, I can’t say names as Chris would shoot me,, I have another coming in next week a mk1 nudger ,, 10p per play £2 jp mint too ,,

I was working on this quicktime in my lunch break so missed a few stage pics.(New material + trim to shape and new T molding slot cut ) Kept spraying it with primer so both sides of the joint can do all the expanding and cutting it back flat each time with sandpaper so you can't see a joint later. Here's the area (without showing too much lol)

Can't really use filler as it's too big and the filler would just fall out. The plan: let new material into the cab and use a bearing guided cutter to run around the original shape. To do that I had to router it flat and then using a straight edge as a guide so I can let new material in. Set the router depth to exact thickness of my material (13mm). There a few chips there still but I wanted to keep my joint infront of the two concave curves

Well yet another ews shuffle this week, abit of a drive to Torquay from Wetherby..

The next project - no idea when I will get round to this one but we'll start with the guts and the MPU3 🙂 How could I say no (cheers Lee)!!

Well, I fired it up on Monday morning. Lights came on straight away, which is always a good sign. There were 68 credits on the counter. The first few games the reels were stiff to start. I left in for an hour with the lights on, and it was away nicely. The first payout was a bit staggery (technical term, there), and the first feature win took a while to start, but all was well by lunchtime. There was an odd fault; as soon as the credit counter reached zero, it immediately ran up two plays! Turned out a wire in the coin accepter had looped itself over the 5p-2 plays coin trigger. Easiest fix yet. The coin mechs needed a clean and polish, but everything came out OK. The 6d/2½p tokens are smaller than a tanner, and so light that everything has to be spotless to get good results. It's great finally to have something that uses them. It pays out tokens only, but takes 5p (2 plays) and 10p (four plays). The coin entry was originally triple, taking 6d as well, but this has been blanked-off. Gameplay is good; long spin for your money, plenty of holds (no tampering with the selector), and enough of the Top Cherry feature to keep you playing without it becoming boring. There are two 'options' on the reel mech, both of which I've turned off. I'll go back to them later. Just enjoying playing it at the moment. A delightful machine.
