Title: Games Inc 1958." Double Shot"
Post by: ralph67 on December 20, 2014, 12:59:19 AM

Hi All any body seen or know anything about these games?? . The 2  games i  am working on are from the Shows i think.  ( 1958 "Double Shot" by Games Inc)  One  is almost fully working now after some hours of work. other really badly seized up! and missing one large stepper unit unfor . I think they work like a modern skill game with lights moving up and down , and you push the button to stop the lights moving and try to get the ducks , birds etc  lined up for payouts.  I am  looking some schematics for this game . any info would be great... Oh will get some pics on here some Cheers .

I'm pretty sure I have a Backglass for one of these and hopefully a schematic ill look tomorrow.  There basically a poker machine but instead of reel that soon the light imitate the reel movement.  Pretty cool game ralph.

    I think Rory had one of these not that long ago

Game cooked the small transformer after about 100 games then died. Replaced the transformer from the spare game i have , also new fuse holders installed and unscrewed steppers to clean out 50+ years of spilled drinks and dust , Cleaned up the wiring while i was at it . Found a few small faults with a couple of contacts and game working fine now *%* Installed a couple of new Anodised  red game buttons and cleaned up the cabinet as best i could. Game name plate inside cab (Juke box Music Co PVT limited) Is a Afircan (Zimbabwe) company which i believe is still operating now. but Game Built in Chicago by Games Inc 1958
