Re: tim ticket machine manual

I've got one of these machines and a helpful fellow called Rob Willson at Lowestoft Transport Museum, Carlton Colville, very kindly sent me a copy of the operating instructions. He also marked, on a photo I sent him, the screws you need to remove to clean and re-ink the machine. Don't touch any other screws or it will fall apart inside!

The instuctions and photo are on this link.

Re: tim ticket machine manual

Go to a good stationers and quote the width of the ticket. They will be able to find a till roll to match. You may have to wind the large roll onto another spindle to fit the machine. Cost per roll les than a £1. Much cheaper if you buy a box of rolls. I've got suitable rolls for the TIM & Gibson from Colemans in Peterborough.

Re: tim ticket machine manual

Hi Chris just wondered if the TIM ticket machine manual would still be available and the re-inking procedure in particular?
Thank you

Re: tim ticket machine manual

there's a chap down my part of the world 9Ashford, Kent) who is a ticket machine specialist but I can't remember his name! He can tell you chapter and verse the history of and how to fix every ticket machine.
