Machine crashes on boot, sometimes initialising, sometimes opto alarm then freezes, all dead at the minute so no lights. I did have MUX fault flashing but realised I knocked out the cable taking the decal out. One part of the £25 decals are stuck between the glass and won’t slide out at the minute. Pain trying not to get glare/reflection in the photos - anything else you need?

Bingo Bell, I have the original version. 5p play with a dual 10p/5p coin mech and single 5p token mech. all payouts made in 5p tokens. 10p in gives one play and one token change. auto start spins reels three times and any numbers that fall on win line will light up the corresponding number on the top bingo card. after three spins the player has the option of two nudges which can be used on any reel to gain more win lines. Number 46 in the centre line is always lit as a free number. An experimental machine from BF running electro tech 50v with operating boards running on a 24v supply. Edit.. Missed the main feature out where a possible random bonus can occur during any game. As the reels spin, The machine will light the full bingo card and can repeat.

Ron, I recall playing a bell fruit machine, in the 70's. Electro Mechanical. Same cabinet as the top cherry, and it was a bingo card, and you was offered 2 nudges randomly. All overlaid numbers transferred to the bingo card. Can't remember the name (But I bet "bingo" is in the title) 2p play, and it was a good way to spend time. Any ideas?? Statto

Some more cab work, There were loads of impact gouges in the cab. The original partical board was cratered up and material had fallen out. Had to all be filled, orbital sanded flat and I also used a resin to bind it all and give a glass like and totally solid finish. Looks shite in the picture but will become clear later on. The back edges were pretty buggered all around the cab so I routed a small 45' chamfer all around so every angle you look at it once it's done it will have a nice freshly machined edge (too much filler just falls out of edges). Also used resin on the partical board edges. You can also use watered down PVA glue and keep sanding it flat to re bond the open material too. Would show an after but can't remember where it was 🙂

New T molding, This cab has really tight curves so cuts had to be made in the molding so it bends around. Used the old molding as a template. 2nd pic is a dry run with the new molding masking taped around. Left it a few days like this so when I come to glue it it's pre stressed to the right shape and I'm sure it will go in nicely. (Trying not to show to much)

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)
