Re: Bryans Clock with fruit dial
Could it be that 'Glenvil' refers to Glenvil Press Limited of Salisbury Hall Park road in Hull and they printed the dial face. They were trading from November 1951 and their main business was printing, now inactive.

Arrgee mentioned another 7 cup BMCo called Lucky Star with an automatic pay out. This one is a manual version on halfpenny play.

Re: R&W Many Happy Returns/Fill Em Up/What's My Line mech
Hi argee. I expect you will have sussed it by reading the rest of this thread, but if not, have a look at tallstory's photo of the ball retaining pins in the mechanism . There are two screws at the top and two each on each side to remove, as well as a wire attached to the locking lever on the right ...

Re: W.H Ell & Co. The Territorial Shooting Range
As the balls that land behind the bottles are returned to use again I presume there is a drain somewhere in front of the bottles to return those balls to the start position?

Re: Oliver & the Beak
Super sleuthing again Stuart, I don't know how you manage it. I see the basis of the fine was the use of the Corn Exchange. I would have thought Oliver would argue that (as opposed to saying that 'I didn't know it was there) it is a future pay machine, it is not a gambling machine. Not a great ruse ...

Re: Oliver & the Beak

Just sticking up for Oli...
