Re: Rare Diana shooter on eBay

Does any one have the original artwork for the Running Hare to be able to get it scanned and printed on card as my machine is missing the artwork pressed to the glass? Thanks so much, Jonathan.

Rare Improved Tivoli Wall Machine

Rare Improved Tivoli Wall Machine.
Don’t know its true age, make, value and what bits are missing. Please see the following photos, hope you can help me out.
It sure has a charm to it with its unusual circular play field and beautifully carved front.

Hi, Thanks, and yes this is my 'Fireworks' allwin. I restored most of the mechanical side to this game myself, but as you say 'had not dared to plug in due to ancient wiring'. A friend of mine is a genius with these things and he sorted the electrical problems for me along with some teething mechani...

Re: WW1 and WW2 related machines

Hi Woody,
You're welcome. Please note. it is not the 'Allies Flags' as miss-quoted in the Automatic Pleasures book, but is actually 'The Conquerors Flags'

Re: WW1 and WW2 related machines

Here's a photo of the 'Conquerors Flags' made by the Automatic Novelty Company of London,circa 1916.There is one also pictured in the book Automatic Pleasures by Nic Costa,but you will notice it has been incorrectly titled 'Allies Flags'.

PHOENIX 'CLOWN CATCHER'

My own research has revealed that this rare 'Clown Catcher' was infact produced by Phoenix Manufacturing Company of Birmingham cica 1920's. I believe the Union Jack was added as a symbol of victory following World War 1.

CENTRAL AUCTION.

Hi all,
I have been in touch with Karl Shelley (Tel:01212331058) of the Gaming Licencing Board and he informed me that you can obtain up to 2 Licences per year to sell machines in auction free of charge.
I explained to him that these machines are pre-decimal.
