Any idea what this is?

[pachiball]

G'day,
I bought this off Chris at Direct Gaming International.

It was the first machine I bought and I had no idea it was a custom job.

It was sold as a Monte Carlo.

Can anyone please tell me what we have here, I would love to get a manual for it.

Bloody quick reply, thanks.

Now you mention cats, it makes sense.

I just checked out your links.

The Lucky Cat I have must be older than the ones you linked me to as they had video in them and look different.

[luckydog]

then it must be a Daruma cat one

That's the one thanks, now to find a manual.

I would love to get it back to it's original state, anywhere I can buy the belly glass?

[BigBearSteve]

Did they change the glass? Or just put a sticker over the original?

[pachiball]

I went to have a look and I can't find a way to tell without taking the front door apart.

Is there a simple way to get to the belly glass?

[luckydog]

if you open the door you will see 4 plastic tabs, 2 lined up with the top and 2 with the bottom of the bellyglass.

just press them and the bellyglass frame and glass will come out very eary.

Thanks again, that was easy.

However, not good news, all I found was a piece of cardboard printed with the monte carlo bit on it.

I have emailed Chris to see if he will post me the original stuff for it.

I will see how I go, although his communications have not been too good of late.

EDIT: I can't find a manual for it that I can read, any suggestions please?

It's not english but it does show the machine, the belly glass and the reels.

You will have to learn Japanese.

Ha So

[pachiball]

Seems I can't get the original glass for the machine.

Can anyone tell me how to get access to the top glass please?

I can't find any plastic clips like there is on the belly glass.

I think I may use this picture just to get rid of the awful Monte Carlo sign, IF I can get access to the top glass.

[pachiball]

After removing several screws I have managed to change the machine to a custom Dream Games machine. Thanks all for your help.
Edit: Uncle Sam is there as my wife's Great Great Grandfather served in the American Civil War and was the first Civil War Veteran to be buried in Australia.

He fought for the North, actually he was in the Navy. Looking at the ships they served on, they did it very hard back then.
