Here it is done,now for the final touches.so I've got to strip it all now.

This thread is constructed to form a guide into the working actions of the 70s electro-mechanical machine. References will be made using my own Bell Fruit Super Nudge Gambler as the base machine one of the most popular electro's built in that era. To make sure that all the machines actions are fully explained will take some time,so I will post each step at intervals to allow for any comments or questions for those not sure. As the components such as relays,timers,cam switches are different from the modern machines layout,so best start with the aid of pics to show and label the main components used in the machine. All these below can fail at any time and will be the cause of many breakdowns,those and other possible faults and remedies will be explained during each part of the guide. To answer what might look as two pics the same,yes the Hold timer and Feature hold timer both look and are the same style but seperate timers, both however control different stages of the game cycle and will be explained later how & which one controls each part of the machines game. 1. Coin Switch 2. Cam Switch 3. Covered Relay 4. Open Relay 5. Cam Timer 6. Hold/Nudge/Lamp Flasher Timer 7. Feature hold/Variator Timer 8. Reel Solenoid 9. Reel motor/Drive belt 10. Payout Solenoids 11. Main Control Panel 12. Power Supply

Now all wired and tested..it works.now onto final finishing.may take a few days.

It looks very impressive Simon, a testament to your skill 👌
