Thanks for the pictures. Below is link from the forum. (Now merged above - Site Admin.) I've seen a number of different variations on the Brooklands racer, however it's the first time I have seen this particular option with the car and Brooklands under the reel glass. There must be lots of other opt...

7s appear on melons and mad melons award card artwork and I am sure on others too. COR, you may have to decide what you want to do, e.g. to take the reel bundle back to its "original" payouts you would need to remove the overlays and that can damage the originals below, especially with the...

As it has overlays already, it's maybe likely that it started life as "X" reel bundle from the factory and has been revised once or more times to match any number of different award cards through its life. I was giving the wild aces as an option as a possible lower award card to marry up t...

Here's a couple of pictures of the award card in a new cabinet now. The reel bundle on this is a converted Tic Tac Toe reel bundle with the aces placed over the Tic and Tac Toe symbols on each reel. The black strip has been converted too by scratching out the original Tic Tac Toe and substituting wi...

Hello, The aces seem to be overlays so could be covering another winning symbol or lemons. Intriguing that the bar symbols don't look to be overlays, however the type font for the bar is unusual for an Aristocrat. There are a number of wild aces Aristocrat award card options, so maybe one of them or...

Malcymal, yes - a company called Ace manufactured those classic e/m games like King of Clubs down in South Wales but Treefrog is correct that this Ace company was a US company formed after Pace finished circa 1950/1951. As usual ,slot history is full of somewhat conflicting information, however from...

Well had an email from Alex and it looks unlikely that he can get to me and just as unlikely that I will be near to him in near future so looks like this thread may run and run......

I will leave Alex to run through suggestions offered previously.

Yes, Pace went onto Ace and then into... Space. The mechanism is Pace and yes, it's a Pace handle, star boss, and yes, it's for sale for just a penny plus a nice Win a Race Bonus Extra please.

I sent Alex a pm saying if he could get it to my house I would take a look, show him the dangerous bits etc. but no response as of yet, and have just realised that I passed nearby today on my way up to Carlisle services collecting some other machines. Anyway, offer still stands but you may have conq...

I have listed this slot in the Market tonight. Interesting machine - not your usual Hi-Top.





I have shown pictures of the cabinet but it has a mechanism/escalator/jackpot etc.

I'd be interested if anyone else has one in their collection.

Really great machines those original mannequin bowlers, both the Williams and Evans versions. Benchmark games did a modern version with LED scoring rather than old pinball type score reels but I believe they were appalling in terms of faults in normal usage so were quickly discontinued.

Is it this one?

Hello,
Have you spoken with Henry yet?
What coin (Euro) or other is it?
Have you a picture of the cabinet?

25 kilo? Are you thinking of Sheerline style cabinet badged as Arcadian? I know there are a number of different variants of Arcadian badged machines from Aristocrat, e.g. Sheerline style with an Arcadian badge to the Bonus Aristocrat in an Arcadian cabinet with bigger top-box to incorporate all the ...

I have a coin if anyone would like to borrow it...
