Badpenny, I thought you said you've 'never mention ONE of the three again :shock:
Pardons begged Lothario.
Oops, off topic.
Hopefully the Coronet pics will be up soon. They're not good but I can get more if there's interest.

Hi Rory,
How was Chicagoland? Believe you made acquaintance with a certain Mr Roth? Ace dood huh!
Bought many spare parts and had great advice from Jerry over many years. He tends to favour the Mills 'feature' machines such as Bonuses and Futurities and is exceptionally knowledgeable.
No Coronets at the show one would assume??
I wonder where the one in Ladwig's book is these days..... come home to daddy baby!!!!

Wow, finally some pictures

You can see where Ainsworth got the ideas for the Clubmaster, similar cash tray arrangement, handle and art decco design. The marble formica is certainly not going to be missed. Unusual door arrangement for a bandit, there even appears to be some pattern on the inside door and walls of the machine??

I will get the clown catcher out ready for exchange !!CHEERS!!

Thanks PM,

Yep chaps she's a beauty isn't she!
I think the pattern on the inside of the door is glue which would've had felt or foam to dampen the sound of the mech - strange coz it's extremely quiet anyway.

Not sure that I'm too much of a fan of the crazing, however like the front and the mottled colours...

I suggest that machine is an easy £7 - 8.5K

How about all UK members of this forum club together in order to buy it and get it back here .... err ... in order to ummm ..... return it to .... the country where it's ...... errrrr .... never been before and we can keep it at my house? !!UHOH!!

Sterling idea that man!
I did the same with a school woodwork project as a kid. A classmate & I built a magicians' guillotine - 6' tall and the blade passed right throught yer neck - coz it was 'magic'!! We took turns looking after it then I grew up.....
Middlehurst & Sons obviously went to enormous trouble with the Coronet. Orig. parts and their own name in the main frame casting and yes, a definite pre-cursor to the Clubman/Clubmaster/Aristocrat from Ainsworth Dental.

Re:: Tree-frog's earlier post, I just spun the old girl around and yes, glue - but having seen another foam-lined bandit, the foam breaks down and chokes the clock/ mech.
Hence removal.

And as for selling her (to coin a Badpennyism) offers on the back of a fifty.. :D
