Good Stuff Daniel. I guess that particular One Armed Bandit was the submersible model ?

That is sensational Daniel, and the pictures dont really show how bad it was in real life. Yep pokies & pins should never end up in an tip. Was like the big purge of pins decades ago where they were just dumped at the local tips all over the place.

Knew that you would have the patience and skill to do this baby justice & extremely glad it is going to restored to its former glory. Very nice work mate.   ^^^

Well i have the reel assembly backtogether and its semi working.  Still have the payout unit to rebuild before ill worry about the little gremlins.

  Here are a few before and after shots.   The actual reels have not been touched im going to check it they are available anywhere before i risk damaging them !@#
