PJ:
You may want to check all of your payout combinations, as many of these Japan-built Sega models
were coined for 6pence, and new owners will re-badge them to 10c, without changing the slide stack.
The 6pence, 10c, and even 1c, will all play the machine, but the payouts, (especially on the high end),
will be off. Strange that you have a roll-off escalator in yours, as they usually didn't install them on
the offshore models that I remember. But could have been done by an operator, at a later date.
I bought many of these Foreign-coined Sega Bells, and Jennings machines, in the 1980's, that a local
antique furniture dealer was having shipped to the states, in his container-loads of furniture. I would
do a complete tune-up on the mechanisms, and re-coin them with U.S. slide sets & escalators. Then
clean up the cosmetics of the case, before sale. These are well-built models, and most always, operated
flawlessly. I still have a large box of Foreign slides, that will make a nice 'boat anchor' for someone. Or
even stack them, to use the smaller coin sets, as lowering-block kits for your Mini Cooper, and the larger
coin sets for your Shoe-Box Fords, etc!
Gee, maybe I'll start up a new category on eBay? Like we
don't have enough already!
