wow.

thank you very much.

i go study this.

dou you know how the lights work?

is only the red light flashing when the arm is pulled?

are these parts available you think?
is the flashing bulb flashing from itself? or is something make the bulb flash?

i think is posseble that the part under the reels make the bulb flashing,could be a switch?

No problem.
Only the red light flashes and only while the clock is spinning as its the rod conected to the clock that pulls the wiper over those contacts.
I would say it would be difficult but not impossible to acquire these pieces as quite a few prospectors were produced.

thanks for your help.

i think i really miss too many parts if i see your movies.
i have only the naked mechanism too. your mechanism have many parts more extra on the mechanism than mine.

Custer, did you figure out your prospector in the end? I now have the Challenger monte carlo version and my red light flashes but never stays on. it is supposed to stay on every 4th pull, but doesn't. There is also a loose wire by the reed switches near the clock. can anyone advise?
