This could be a Jennings Little Duke conversion as the coin slot is facing to the right. You're right Dave, this was a Little Duke conversion by Whales, had the original Jennings handle and 50-60 years of a family of woodworm, but was all there including back door. In fact I tried it and 3rd penny ...

Well, as usual it was an interesting auction, I was only there on Saturday. Prices were very strong at this one. A very large Mr. Peanut roaster had the crowd expecting maybe 30,000 to 50,000 and bidding slowed there but then picked up steam again, ended up with a $110,000 hammer (and then there is...

Maybe a small printable of some kind

I'm also no expert but I do know that gearbox grease was/is the norm for this sort of gearbox, but as I remember it it was injected in through a nipple, so, in this case, I don't know if the oil cap and oil filter makes a difference and it should be oil, but it seems unlikely. Gearbox grease is, of...

Hello there, I wonder what a PC-55/88 is !PUZZLED! Aristocrats manuals are not a published item, some collectors have copies of original parts catalogues including myself. Theses typically are just pages of broken down parts as codes and can help when looking for missing bits…if it is a service or m...

Ha ha, that’s the one I bought at a Coventry auction, probably 15 years ago and still have

Trying to sort why a viewer that was running slowly, I had omitted to check inside the motor gearbox and discovered one of the worst hard grease toffee attacks I have had. :shock:… I should have checked this in the first place, but I am going to ask an obvious question as I'm less familiar with the ...

Bran Tub - a vendor. Just an update, as many are aware lots of these have turned up. The conversion was done to simplifiy the Clock as many punters found them a little hard to grasp. The conversion made then easy visually to understand and helped the machine take more Money. I was told that Glenvil ...

Another Las Vegas Coin Machine, well the mechanism is. These pop up occasionally given what % of the slot machine market they had……see if there is any indication inside cabinet

See below thread on these machines

Re: Help with my latest project

Bargain,

Looking at the part numbers, the imprint is weak, as such maybe a produced machine, of which there are many and they often use Sega mechs and the hoods are totally different… Nice and cheap though.

No, But I wonder if the below could be made to work, looks very similar and could be bent, pinned and bonded and any excess filed off the bottom |/XX\| https://www.metals4u.co.uk/materials/aluminium/aluminium-fluted-edgings-and-nosings/10423-p?ppm=false&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI07LAtJ6...

I always wondered if this machine was an April fool from Mr Bryan and could never see it as a serious arcade machine, once played, never played again …….as for value, how much does an empty box cost

Seen this a long time back. It is already under the arcade section with a few others
Re: Vintage Slots in Films and Newsreels

I am sure skulduggery has gone on for years at auctions from hiding items people don’t want others to see, pilfering, through to swapping lot numbers……when I have pointed things out to certain auctions houses, they often show little interest…

Yes, it is a beautiful machine with original paint and amazing chrome. I've parted with many machines over the years but this is one of 3 bandits I’ve kept. I’ll send you a pm regarding those tokens thank you grains. It is a lovely machine :cool: …..is the top glass a later copy as the black seems ...

Not sure if this is allowed so if not please delete … I’ve decided that sadly a lack of time is going to prevent me doing this once justice. With some regret I’ve decided to let someone else have a shot at breathing life into this lovely thing. I’ve therefore just popped it on eBay. Wanted to let y...

Yes, very similar to Mills gold award tokens and if you had searched on this site, list of examples….
They sell for around a fiver each when appearing on eBay.

Before I assume anything, have you lost the key and it is locked…… Best best if you can is to try getting in through the back if screwed on… You can sometimes lever the door open without damaging the wood or try getting someone to pick it. They usually have between three and 5 levers, depending on t...

This version like the below one sold the other week at Taylor’s. It was suggested to be Firmans. Another sold at the Elephant years ago. You can see the off centre jackpot and incorrect I believe early Jennings handle on this.

Looks like you got the cabinet panels for both machines. Would they not sell the Polo? !PUZZLED! The frame looks good and if seized, a combination of a good soak in a solvent and maybe use of heat could help free parts, just not at the same time. I remember the Spicer football game a couple of years...
