No projects for me

But I am looking out for a crane this year. Let's see what pops up on ebay.

Stolen...... How did it happen was it a chance break in or targeted. :-x How many of us here dont have any isurance. what a scary thought. Did you have serial numbers or pictuers of your machines. It could be possible someone on hear may have bought one of them innocently and could leed you back to ...

Mine is not a pennymachine as such but a pinball i sold to a big collector in the USA. It was a game called Rat Race by Williams. only 10 made and 6 found check here of my actual game. http://www.ipdb.org/search.pl?any=rat+race&sortby=name&searchtype=quick#3718 It had been stored almost sinc...

Offered £1250 and wants £2000...... Tell us!

I would grab the £1250 and run if it was my machine. My estimate, if I was trying to buy it, would be £450-ish.

There is a bit of a shortage of machines on eBay at the moment. Where are all the sellers?

They're going to own the machine for a loooong time.....

Don't forget the Jennings machines of the 30s. My 50c Prospector makes those horse's hang their heads in shame 8) Each to their own I guess..... Buy at the right price and you won't lose any money when you want to sell. No matter if it's a repro or antique. I started off with a rusty Riviera ...... ...

Hi Slotalot, Don't worry, he is safe with me. :D You did a great job building this machine. I've had it for a few years now in my collection. I can't believe you built it all from scratch. You really should be building more machines for us collectors. If you are ever over Leeds way you're welcome to...

Hi For a Watling Roll A Top reproduction Electronic version I would say £250 - £300. For a Watling Roll A Top reproduction Mechanical version I would say £350 - £400. These are the prices I have seen them for sale in the last few years.... Save your money and buy a nice Jennings for about £700 - £80...

Hi Penny Machines, definitely upload your article to the Arena, it will be an interesting read. I'm on the lookout now for a World Series after watching youtube videos. Does anyone know of any that have changed hands at auction or on ebay? As I don't think I've ever seen any for sale. See you all at...

After a little research on the net, I couldn't resist the temptation. Great game 10 balls for 1D. Also it's nice to have a machine that's different to a Allwin or slot machine And the ball lift mechanism is a work of a genius. The machine looks all original and clean inside. It is missing the legs a...

Hi Guys

What are your thoughts on a Rockola world's fair - is it a fun game?

I have the chance of buying one in very nice condition, not what I call a bargain so I'm in 2 minds to buy it.

Any thoughts, how much they go for these days.

mmmm tempting......

Cheers.

HI It has a pay out tube inside filed with small silver english coins. All complete inside and quite clean. Its about the same height as a allwin deluxe and about have the width. all most a cross between a clown catcher and a pickwick If anyone does know anything please post a reply. Thanks all Craig

I tried to go for the high score playing about 10 games a day for about month only managed 180,000.

Donkey Kong is a tough game. Still not as hard as winning the jackpot on my Jennings...

Hi all I picked up a mini shield catcher last week. After a week of searching around i cant find out any information, Just wondered if any of you guys have one or any information..... There is drawing in the Museum/catcher area of this site but i after looking through my AAM and other mags i cant fi...

Ooops wasn't signed in but is was posted by me......

Does anyone have any nice before and after pictures when you have done a restoration on a allwin or a Bryans machine.

I need some inspiration before starting my Bryans All Sport.

Show us your skills…

Craig

Thanks for the replies guys, I heard the story about Tommy in Leeds and his quality collection. Is he still a collector does anyone have a link to the newspaper article? As well as working models JC did they produce any other machines i.e. allwins etc? Also i read somewere that Bryans had a distribu...

Just thought it would be interesting to hear about your finds over the years of collecting. I have been collecting Pinball's / Videos for several years lots of nice finds, but only started collecting old machines the last 3 years. One of my best finds is an early circle skill. It had been stored in ...

Does anyone have any information regarding any machines which were made or companies which built them in the Leeds / Yorkshire area.

I read some were a while ago naming a company in Leeds back in 1930's or 50's?
