Re: Middlehurst Coronet
Thx PM...
Badpenny, I thought you said you've 'never mention ONE of the three again
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!!!!

Re: Middlehurst Coronet
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

That is the dog's danglies and no mistake.
For the first time in ages I am speechless, can't think of anything to say.

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...

Re: Middlehurst Coronet
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: Middlehurst Coronet
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..
