Wont pay out ?
Hi there. My brother died 4 years ago and left me is Jennings Bingo Belle one armed bandit,it is all original and still on 6d play. Since i have had it it as been great until the other week when one of the kids put a 1p coin in,i managed to hook it out but it fell down into the machine.I never thought anything of it until i had a winning line come up but it wouldn`t pay out.I know nothing about machines( i wish now i had took more notice when my bro was tinkering with them,he had had slot machines since he was 13 and was mad on them and knew them inside out,he was 50 when he died so along time)
The machine still plays well,you put 6d in,the handle pulls and the reels spin round like they always have,but if you get a winning line then you just hear a click and no payout.By the way i still can`t find the 1p,so it may be wedged ??
Could someone please help if you have any idea what could be wrong,much appreciated..Roy.

it sounds pretty much like you've answered your own question. sounds like the 1p is wedged in the payout mechanism.
your going to have a dig about it inside it, and find that penny,even the old mechanical ones are easy enuf to take apart. and youtube and google are your friends.

I am very sorry for your loss. If you have a look around the machine it will tell you the company that made it, when you know who this is, try to contact them for advice, but if it is too old you have no chance of any help down this avenue. It will help if you can descripe the machine in more detail. Don't rip it apart until you know a little bit more about the machine.
how about a greasy pork sandwich served in a dirty ashtray.

well roy thats an absolute cracker, its called the "old indian head" machine, story has it you used to rub the indians head for luck.
do you realise the value of that machine?? and i assume you have it listed on your house insurance. and is that the original stand aswell? an easy 1500- 2000 grand all day long
i know its of great sentimental value, but get it listed on the insurance, trust me on that
