Re: Help me sell a Wurlitzer Lyric E Jukebox and Sega Bell

I've got a sneaky feeling that Burntisland near Fife in Scotland isn't between Derby and Burton-on-Trent which is the journey I tend to do mostly these days, so guess I can't assist.

Re: Help me sell a Wurlitzer Lyric E Jukebox and Sega Bell

My father-in-law now tells me it may be an Indian, not an eagle and it is on the right side. Indians & Eagles ? I'm lost ....... I'm guessing there is a jackpot behind that glass, but it does look as if it could be showing the base plate instead. As Treefrog said without knowing about back door...

The British Newspaper Archive

Re: Who made this one???

Don't feel sad Scottie it's all a front. We don't really have an annual slotty auction. It's like this forum which isn't real either. You didn't really think there were over 500 members did you? :!?!: If there were, just think how many new postings there would be instead of the half a dozen or so a ...

Re: Aristocrat Five shilling token

I'll have a shufty through the buckets of tokens I have. In the mean time congratulations on your first posting.

Are you the chap who held up his buyer's card continually until the lot was knocked down? If so, you were determined to have it. If not .... don't know what I'm talking about.

Re: Coventry 2011

If it was in a green box then yes I did see it. It was sitting on the stage at the end of the day. Perhaps Jerry scooped it up with the rest of the debris, but I really don't know.

If so I guess it gives you the perfect excuse to visit his arcade or come to next year's event. :cool:

Re: RE-CHROME

Best of luck chap. I've never had any success having Jennings replated. I believe the secret is something to do with having the Ally plated in something else first, otherwise it just shrugs it.
The other way round it is to take up stamp collecting instead.
