Re: Cigarette vending machine info needed
Soren Wistoft, Danish company, and I'd bet my boots it started life as a vendor for Aspro or something similar. Nice job though Widget.

Re: Gallopers - Carousel
I have just checked some old photos of my kids on a carousel in the Shelburne Musuem Vermont and that is definitely going anti clockwise, but more importantly (to me anyway) why in my family are Gallopers referred to as "bobby horses"?

Re: British Treasure American Gold Mills for sale ebay.com
I forced myself to watch this show as I'd seen a trailer that featured a) slots and b) my home town. What a load of crap. Are all the programmes of this genre that bad? So a fella who is supposedly an expert says his 100% complete, original and fully working Space Invaders machine is better than the...

Re: Official Historian?
........... in the very long term I believe that current technology cannot be relied upon to allow indefinite access when compared with the printed word, which has and will continue to last for hundreds of years. This was brought home to me a while ago when I tried to open a 20 year old CAD drawing...

Re: Grand slam
Definitely based on bridge then although I don't believe the term "book" features in the actual game the term "finesse" does. It is not a game I know or have any desire to learn so can't help you any more than that. As coppinpr says, it does look overly complicated for what it is...

Re: Grand slam
I can't make out the words from your photo but it is almost certainly based on the card game "Bridge". Post a close up of the words if you can.

Brenco Heads n' Tails identified
Sorry about picture but it's all I could copy from eBay search page as the listing itself had been removed.
This looks to be a bit different although perhaps way too late for some of you. Any info on how it worked?
