Regent Automatic Supply

Hello everyone!
I picked up an old Sega Hi Top this week with decals for the distributor being Regent Automatic Supply.
Anyone know anything of their history? I would be interested to know.

Thanks, Neil.

Thanks for the additional photos. It is clear from the first two photos that the Brooklands is just the U.S. Mills Black Beauty with jackpot removed and racing plaque in its place and the U.S. coinage replaced with the old penny coinage. Does this also mean that if I bought a machine similar to the ...

brooklands

Thanks JC, pix is great. That is how I remember it, although I think I remember it with a dagger handle. Also, is that the time period they were produced, 1950s and any particular colours, say British Racing Green or other? Finally, did they produce a range of these machines with other sports instea...

Hi, I'm looking for some details on this old slot. I remember from years back as a one arm bandit, with an old racing car emblem plate on the front above the payout tray with the Brooklands logo above, presumably the old motor race circuit. Also been told that it was a Mills or Bollands? and that ma...

Re: Circle Skill and variants

Thanks, Jerry. Firstly many thanks for the prompt response. Were there many different manufacturers? Or would it have been made by say either manufacturer X or Y? Just trying to pin down the manufacturer for my customer's own interest. Finally, I have been interested in coin-op items for about 20 ye...

Wall vending machine with rotating pins

(Circle Skill topic merged - Site Admin.) A customer of mine has this neat wall vending machine on old one penny. Any ideas on manufacturer or age? I am presuming that if you were successful in rotating the pins to get the ball into one of the cups you won the corresponding cigs or other item behin...
