I discovered today that this machine cannot be a Bingolett. Its more likely a Rialto or other in the range because of the numbers at the top. Although mechanically they're identical, on the Bingolett, the bottom right number is '4'. On mine, its '2' and that tallies with a Rialto. Obviously I could change that if I wanted to, but it didn't come up until I printed temporary numbers and couldn't work out why the '4' was lighting for a score of '2'. From this point on, it could become either machine but worth knowing that if anyone picks up one without a front glass. There is one number different between a Rialto and a Bingolett!

Not many would have seen the Bingolett/Rialto/Tivoli cam up close. Check this out for a right bodge!

Definately a case of "You show me your cam and I'll show you mine". WHY did they do that? Were there more teeth there? Can anyone have a look on their own one? They will be cams 6 & 7 from the left or from the right. Just need to know how many notches on each. I could print new ones out of ABS if so. If there IS only one notch on each, I can just smooth out that rough surface. Its the not knowing.....
