As I said in an earlier post .......... "P'raps, best come on the day and bring your machine or part of it so you can check!"

I have cable tied together hundreds of bundles of slides, and couldn't tell you what coins they were for.

As we speak, Mick and I are planning the final 2 trips to get the last of it out of Sheerness and up to Derby.

We originally said July to get that done, so it's looking good. Then, if I haven't found my camera, I'll have to get down to WH Smith for a sketch pad and a pencil so I can draw the spares. I don't have Microsoft Office on my ZX Spectrum so I'll be writing the lists out in crayon.

First though I'll need to brush up on my ejucashun as I don't reed and right so good.

As soon as I have more to share I promise I'll let you know unless it's beer.


BP :cool:

Just to confirm to everyone that our friend dutchboy isn't the same person that wants to drive over and buy up what's left after the event. !THUMBS!

That’s right, i wish i have the space..... i only need some parts for my two chiefs, but to miss an event like this is a sad. I saw there is a direct flight to nottingham.

It's just up the road from me, so I'll try & get there after my nightshift. Incidentally, I bought one of my first bandits off Mick Jnr, 20 years ago.

I also bought my first bandit from Mick five years ago. Collected it from his home. The smoothest running machine of all that I have.

I’m sure I must have met this bandit legend but for the life of me, I can’t place him. Are there any photos of this gentleman that could be published?

Thanks PM. I vaguely remember chatting with him but it’s the noisey young ones I tend to remember like BadPenny. Incredible man though and obviously the font of all knowledge on slots - not BadPenny - but that’s true too.
