Mechanical Memories Museum
Does anyone know wether JC’s arcade is still open in Brighton. Me and my wife were thinking of visiting Brighton at the weekend and would like to pay it a visit if possible?

Some very smart engineering, what year of manufacturing are we looking at roughly?

Re: Event This Summer in Derby
As has already be said, many thanks to the organisers of the event and the people who brought their machines down to sell. Some nice machines on offer and obviously the main reason most people were there was for the vast array of spare parts and goodies available for reasonable prices. Some very use...

Top flash for Win a Penguin
I have just finished building a new cabinet for the Ruffler and Walker Win a Penguin door I bought at the last Coventry auction. The main play field artwork is fine but unfortunately I don’t have a topflash so I was wondering whether anyone had an image of an original or a decent photo? Any help wou...

Re: J.F Frantz MFG. Co. Long Shot restoration and top pendant
So after a short hiatus I have finally got around to finishing my Long Shot kicker/ catcher. After scarfing in new oak and restoring the cabinet I managed to source a new top marque from Crow River Trading (highly recommendable and great communication). I also managed to persuade my old Man to machi...

Re: Facebook joblot of machines sale
Interesting, they look like some nice machines, shame that they have all been converted. Would be intrigued as to how much they sold for?

Re: Coventry Auction 25/11/18
I would like to add to the positive feedback regarding the Coventry auction. It was my second after last year's. I thoroughly enjoyed it and was nice to speak to many like minded people about the hobby we all love, It’s not often I bump into people with similar interests in slots so it was good to h...

Re: Coventry Auction 25/11/18
I'll miss the Coventry auction this year, first one I've missed in 7 years. I like to stay in Coventry the night before, have a curry at one of the best curry houses I know (and I know a LOT), get to the club early to move a few things around for the two J's, claim my usual table and comfy chair, a...
