Re: Myers double Road Test

Most of the TV stuff is absolute Tosh! When i did Antiques Roadshow, the presenter knew nowt about my machines and totally relied on a pile of Millers books and my info pre filming, then they come over as true professionals in the final cut. :HaHa:

I'm guessing he didn't buy it from a well-known vintage slot machine dealer in Hull.

Sorry to hear this Bob but it doesn't come as a surprise. You need to be in your own building or be rent free in a shopping centre. It's a labour of love otherwise.
