Title: Any information about this machine or an operators manual Post by: bigdog75043 on May 04, 2010, 06:08:47 AM I found this in a garage sell, it works (mostly). I was wondering if anyone can tell me anything about it and where I might could find an owners manual. I only ended up paying 35 cents for it. $15 to purchase, but it had $14.65 in it when I got home. It's made by a company called c.o.p.s. ltd, but I couldn't find anything on the web about them. The main issue I am having with it is that it doesn't always pay out on winning combinations. Any help would be appreciatred.
Until I can get photos to upload here, they can be seen at this link http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=132521 (http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=132521) Title: Re: Any information about this machine or an operators manual Post by: bigdog75043 on May 04, 2010, 06:15:22 AM I keep getting this message when I try to upload a picture.

Give it a try now....

It looks electromechanical, not processor, and if so everything is fixable with a bit of patience.
I've never seen a C.O.P.S machine before, but you would be surprised how many unknown British manufacturers came and went in the period from 1970 until the breweries took over and consolidated the business to three or four. I wonder if this is an early Peter Simper. Is there any serial number plate with maybe an address or phone number? PS was in Bordon. UK EM machines of 1970s vintage tended to be all ungrounded 240v circuitry, so check your life insurance before you go poking about. Some photos of the innards would help me to make more informed suggestions. I can't see any start or hold buttons - is it a mechanical guts with a handle, with electric payout?

It's a Mills mechanism conversion in a custom case, with electromechanical crediting and payout.
