real slot handles

[alstonj1]

you have the drive now do the task there is no such word as try young jedi !!!! I feel like a little green muppet saying that .....

and no that isnt my volume control its another mod that allows me to deposit tokens from the hopper to the tray with out opening the door .

incidently i gotta thank the guy that i bought my handles from , he sent me a defective handle (the handle its self the key at the bottom ws broken off .) and i wrote him and he said he was going to send out the base unit with out the handle (and did ) but that wasnt the problem . so i sent him a email the same day that i needed the handle not the base and he was upset about having to send another package as the other was already picked up (same day service dam i like this guy) . But he sent another package that arrived today with the handle . Now this is service with a smile and oil change !!!!!
i cant say enough to thank him and he didnt even want the extra base or handle back i'd have gladly paid the postage back to him.so I offered to repay the postage of the second package if im right he'll decline the offer i know i would but there aint to many on ebay that would go to this effort.

this stuff is what they use. its not decal material, but very thin formica. nice thing is it cuts cleanly with a razor.

This is not even close to what PP uses. I have both. I've done my own machines in the above referenced material and really like it but it is adhesive backed. What PP uses as I've had them send me some, are sheets of hard laminate.

Here's some pics of an unused sheet, front - back - and angled for depth.

piece of cake! is that your vol control hidden in the lift handle?

did you mount yours yet birdbrain ? if so lets see those pics buddy !!!

[birdbrain]

mounted and operational on winning post machine( should be the same for new terminator etc) wire to brown and orange wires on spin knob.saved a lot of pain by not mounting outside plate. just blasted big hole with holesaw and used plate to set bolt hole position(top two bolts are straight across).http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y24...e/DCP_2514.jpg

I was able to get the IGT slot arm installed today, the job wasn't as bad as I first thought. My only real concern was the clearance problems. I was able to get the unit inside the case and mounted without having to trim the hopper. I installed it on my NE Pats Conversion machine. The only parts I needed to get were three 1 inch long 1/4 - 20 carriage bolts, as the stock mounting bolts were too short. I cut a 2 1/8" hole with a hole saw, and used the chrome plate as a template for the mounting holes. The transformer had to be relocated also. The plastic chrome IGT cover I had to install upside down due to the angle of the arm hole running through it. This can be fixed with a little trimming.

And a big thanks to Vince for the wiring insructions. I was able to retain the stock spin knob function also.

Excellent work one and all ya make me proud to be here ......now if we can get the junior jedi on board then were good to go ......"wasnt as hard as it seemed "seems to be the common thread well it never really goes as planned but thats why they call it a mod and not a stock option.....Nice work everybody !!!!!!!

it seems the two handles are different in the way the handle sits .the gold handle bends to the side where the chrome tends to bend to the front of the machine both are just as esthetically pleasing but definitely different ....

[birdbrain]

you can mount the handle either way. i ended up turning mine forwards as the kids had a hard time reaching it.note: i intend on putting a chrome one on the sbj,but remember the case is lined with sheetmetal and will need a bi-metal hole saw to cut cleanly.

he's in one of the bulding spaces inside as we said great place to try new machines (window shop ) but prices are outragous ....cheapest machines like $250.00 hes probably good for parts tho he buys containers full so i imagine he has parts machines.

This Englishtown store has nice quality machines and the prices are decent considering the fact that warrenty service is included, lifetime warranty on lightbulbs and a techincal support number is listed for the customer to use if there should be a problem. I know this why? because I am the owner of the Englishtown store called SlotKing Inc and the owner of the other store in Rt 18 market. We do our best to get the machines that customers want and we are always willing to go the distance to make sure that our customers leave our shop happy and satisfied.

Welcome to pachitalk! I almost came to see you today for some tokens. Turns out the "hobby money" had to go for something else, so, maybe next week.

I haven't been to the RT18 store in a few months. That is because everytime I stop by to look or buy tokens, I get the itch to buy another machine and I just dont have room! There is something to be said for being able to play and inspect a machine before you buy it. Internet orders save you money but you dont even know if you will like a machine if you havent played it. Plus UPS/FEDEX likes to beat the piss out of em. I wish I would have played Super Blackjack before I purchased it. I'm not that big a fan of this oh-so-popular machine. However at the time you didn't have any in stock.

First off WELCOME TO THE MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE PACHI SITE IN EXISTENCE !!!

Now on to more pressing matters .While i agree the store does have a nice selection of machines and the machines come with a great warranty and a lifetime supply of bulbs .the prices are not near what we've become use to here on pachitalk . We have been spoiled by the likes of milt at stealth and gaku at big bear . Do a search for bigbear and goto his site ( http://www.gaktradinginc.com/ )and see the prices for his machines in immaculate condition delivered to my front door for as low as 149.00 and thats a large selection to choose from at that price not just a few continental xxx and o hanabi machines he also has better machines for a little more delivered . not to mention manuals on specific machines not just copied generic ones i think you'll be surprised that the people here are a tough nut to crack when it comes to these machines they know what they cost to bring over and what a machine should cost with a decent profit . Their not afraid to get their hands dirty and dig in to fix a broken machine themselves or at least ask for help and its freely given by the rest of the group . I hope you'll stay a while and get to enjoy our little slice of heaven and get to know our Proud family of pachi owners .......

My handle arrived yesterday and I am about to start installation. Yes, the 1/4 inch carraige bolts provided will be too short. I will be mounting mine low on my Speed Racer cabinet as some of the other members have done. The real slot handle has three leads/wires on the switch. The two lower ones provide a momentary closed when the switch is pushed and the upper one provides a momentary open when pushed. Do I need to use the third wire momentary open function on the switch ? The original black spin knob has three wires too. Red, brown and orange. The thread says to use the brown and orange wires. What does the red wire do ? Does this correspond to the third momentary open lead on the real slot handle ?

Frank your only going to need the common and the normally open contacts (momentary closed) the other isnt used . as for the wireing on the speedracer contact autoslot for the two wires needed to spin the machine the wire colors are diffrent on each type of machine thats why he has so many models of autostop boards .

The Real Slot Arm is installed on my Speed Racer. It took half an hour to install the arm. 20 minutes to measure and to drill the two inch hole for the middle hub and the other three holes for the plate. Our Pachislo cabinets are thicker than regular Vegas slots, so the short 1/4 inch carraige bolts had to be replaced by 1 1/4 inch long ones. Due to the increased cabinet thickness, the hub sets back about half an inch which will require slotting the plastic arm cover. The Dremel tool worked great as someone else stated. And yes, hot glue will have to hold it on. Vince gave me the info that it only needs the two wires. The last ten mimutes were spent on the wiring. Easy mod and kind of fun. Speed Racer now has three arms !! Frank A, Jackson, NJ

I just picked up another IGT S Plus chrome bandit arm from Slots4home. He had none on eBay, so I contacted him. He responded quickly and said he had more, but he had to remove from machines first. 15 minutes later he had one removed for me. His name is Darell, and he charged me the same price as the first one. 20.00 bucks plus 9.00 shipping. Can't beat that with a stick.

[Tulsa]

$20 and $9 shipping is an excellent deal. Never having been one that's felt the need to make this modification to my machines, it's still more than I'd want to pay but considering what we've always seen the cheaper arms going for, anywhere from $50 to $80, this is a fair deal.

To me, they look to long though, these machines now take on that Frankenstein appearance and you might as well shove a KISS belly glass in it for that true hacked to pieces effect, but hey that's just me.

[alstonj1]

Well we cant all go around with that ear popping noise coming from our machines just to be purist (come to think of it I don't know anybody that does ) and it seems most want English theme machines not Japanese (like thats purist also ) so we mod those and this is just another mod , but then again a Kiss belly glass would look good over a 100 % mint million god machine any day. but thats my preference also .As for the length of the arm i beg to differ you've just gotten use to telling yourself that length doesn't matter and now your buying the hype (couldn't resist that one) . My arm comes to the same height as my spin lever and coin slot and looks like the perfect height to me but then again thats my preference also.....If it looks hacked to you then all i got to say is PIMP MY PACHISLO BABY cause i like it . as for the price of the arm ,you tell me where you can get a machined mechanism with ratchet sounds for less than $20.00 (besides from the washed out casinos in Louisiana for free ) the crappy designed arms that look like they belong on Frankenstein (bolts included ) cost 3 times that amount and there total junk .



Hey Young Jedi you finished yet ? Everyone else is on there 2nd machine already still waiting for your pics.....

[jaiello]

KISS belly glass in anything machine would be cool !!!! Rock on !!! You guys sold me on one of these arms for my IGT Winning Post machine....Damn this place is so addictive....I love it..... Thanks

[Tulsa]

Length matters after all?


I don't like them on American Slots either. It's a dinosaur concept from a day long past.

[alstonj1]

as will be reels soon and coins already have .the machines you own now are the relics of 5 years from now you can send me your spin luck when you think its a dinosaur and cant stand looking at it while playing your new video slot with card in and ticket out.......
