Wonders Plioneer with free ball
Bought this new addition a couple of months ago and am now about to spend some time tidying it. Can anyone shed any light on ball return feature? I notice there are two balls in the machine and on winning when the knob's turned to receive coins it pulls on two copper wires lifting the ball release, thus giving coins and free play. Is this original to the machine or an operator addition? There are no operating instructions, they appear to have been removed, but it's the first time I have come across anything like this.

It’s the Plioneer Mr P, had a look and found another in the EH with the usual standard operating instructions, so looking like it’s possibly been altered.

I wonder why they put Chinese people on the backflash bottom left, west coast railway builders perhaps but not wagon trains

I always presumed it's a play on the word pioneer. Plioneer saying 'play - on - here'. If that makes sense

No.
Jack Glover was born in Bethnal Green. As far as I know, there were no Wonders Brothers. He ran the business with his wife.

That's the Antipodean idea quashed then.
I 'wonder' where the other rumour originated? The one concerning the dodgy trade-mark?

Not too difficult to deduce the origins of that as Tudah P Glover states 'Tudah Walter Glover.....was a great one for joking and misleading people' so my guess is that he intentionally created that 'trade mark' we all know so well with the 'amorphous' W just above the thumb stop, as a humorous graphic image.Brigham wrote:I 'wonder' where the other rumour originated?
