That sounds a good idea ab88, you are right on the cost for me to move to tokens. I think they will be in the region of 20p each which is more than losing the old pennies at the moment. Looking forward to seeing your Arcade when it's ready. :-)

However, any input should be seen as helpful, as it may lead you to the resolution through another route, maybe not now but in another time in the future. Many thanks for taking the time to share some ideas. Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated, I guess that’s the whole point of the forum :-...

If you drill a small hole through the old pennies, say 1/8 inch dia, they can still be used on the machines but will have no value to collectors. Just an idea... :!?!: I would love to put the price up. Yesterday went I told someone the price was 10 pennies for a pound their reply was “that’s an eff...

Topic merged- Site Admin. So, as many of you know, I operate Temples Penny Arcade. This weekend has highlighted what is becoming a big problem and I am asking your opinions/experiences please. All of my machines work on old penny. We offer these to the public at £1 for 10 old pennies. We always los...

Here you go folks. There is evidence of the remains of two rusty pins to the left and right and what looks like a screw hole in the centre. In the correct light you can see a faint impression of an oval looking shape in the wood…

Feel free to drop me a message and keep me informed. :-) Your work is most excellent and I am so pleased to have this now. I have been looking for a counter top digger crane for a number of years and it’s proved impossible. I will be replacing the glass with toughened as I’m not sure how strong the ...

Many thanks :-)

Sounds interesting :D , It’s possible but It depends if you are in a hurry for it :!?!: , Stuart. :tarah: Hi Slotalot, I am delighted to report that I am now the new custodian of your amazing Erie Digger. Would be interested to stay in touch to gain any additional info about this. I have tracked it...

From what I believe it was made by Jamieson and supplied by Kraft. Interested to see if there are any other owners out there with the Electrodart that has the supplier plate on the front door.

Hi folks,

It seems that my Electrodart has a missing Krafts Automatics oval metal sign. I’m trying to locate one to complete the look of the machine again. Has anyone out there have one or know any resources where I can acquire one?

Here is a photo, sorry it's a rubbish one!

Hi folks, I have updated the Calendar with a number of events that I will be bringing the arcade to throughout the rest of this year. It will be great to meet some of you so if you are attending come and say hi or drop me a message in advance.

Elvaston's only a couple of miles up the road from me. I didn't go this year. Would've done if I'd known you were there. Sorry we missed you. To be honest the event was a bit of a wash out; poor attendance plus rubbish weather did not lead to the necessity of emptying cash boxes. :-) I will let you...

Many of us are likely to have grand kids that have never seen some of your other novelties.

Put in the Calender when and where you'll be displaying your Organ, hammering your Striker and Punching Judy.

Happy to do this if it's ok with you folks. :-)

Looking fantastic !!THUMBSX2!! Now here is a controversial question. I notice half the machines you now have are bandits and I know you have dabbled with different machines… are they good money takers? I only ask as I always wonder whether today's kids and youth can relate less to more obscure skil...

Cheers, thats a great idea, will do. We are out this coming Saturday (3rd September) at Sutton On Trent show near Newark.

The Penny Arcade is out 6 times this summer at steam fairs and private events. Here are a few pics of it at Elvaston Steam Rally earlier this month.

Here is a photo of the Sega completed and in situ on the mobile arcade :-)

So work is progressing. I wonder if anyone can point me in the direction of finding one of these old 1D coin denominators. I know there are resin smaller versions on eBay etc but would like to find something a bit more “correct” before I go down that route :-)

Thanks for taking the time to post this info. Looks like a quest for the Holy Grail

Cheers for the info. It was part of a job lot I acquired some time ago. I have been looking for a crane for some time and was told there was one in bits in the lot I acquired, this was it! Still looking for a table top crane.
