My new One Armed Bandit from 1962 Jubilee

[malcymal]

Id like to share with you my recent purchase on ebay, a 1962 Silver Jubilee Mk1 club jackpot one armed bandit. I picked her up for £150, which is very good value. Fixed the locks, got the piston working for handle return and all jackpots payout. Thing works on old 6 pence (known as 6D). Amazing to think that in 1962 the average wage was £13, so 6D was quite a high outlay.

Ive given it some TLC, polished up the dull metal, oiled the bits i should. Im currently having a loft room built where this will sit alongside my King Camel and MuMu World. I think they will compiment each other nicely.

The Jubilee Bandit is all mechanical, no electrics at all and this one was built in London England, although they originate from Australia. Okay, its not a pachi, but it looks great alongside them. Will post a picture when they are all lined up. I opened up the base plate and underneath there were old sixpences, and some US Dimes underneath, gleaming new..been there for years.

Thanks all malc
