Bishop Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Slot Machine/Bank The entire unit is made from wood except the shafts, plastic bushings, springs and steel cables. It only works if you insert a quarter in the slot and then it drops it in the base below. All the power is from the springs that are set when you pull the lever forward, no batteries, motors or other power. I was drawing some gears for a friend when I got the idea and I just had to see if I could make it. It's like a government machine, you put the money in and it gives you nothing back even if you win. :evil: Sorry the videos not better it's my first attempt. https://youtu.be/iJdf4tAF0bg God Bless Homer & Carol amazingkevin, Scrolling Steve and Lucky2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
