....not sure why but this posted itself before I was finished.????
Anyway, the pokie ..... it 'works' as follows: Someone must have set it up for 'free play' as you can pull the arm and the 4 reels spin around. It does not work with money. Two fluro lights work in the top section, but the other fluro (in front door) does not. None of the counters for games played, payouts etc re-set when I push the small red button.
That's about all I know about this. .... I'm looking to get this repaired/restored. Does anyone know where I can take this to get work done on it? I live near Gosford so Central Coast or Sydney area would be preferable.
Rather than 'stumble around in the dark', I'd prefer to get this repaired/restored by someone who knows what they are doing.
Any tips or leads would be appreciated. Thanks, Mark
These machines look complicated but if you break it down into sections they are quite simple.
The coin section is probably the easiest part to fix, purely because it's readily accessible.
Spend an hour studying how it works and you will soon work it out.
I am working on one at the moment (my first one) and there is a button/lever that you push down that eliminates the need for coins.
So I guess look for something out of place, a spring missing etc
