Looks good! I’ve never had a chance to work on or even look at the mechanism for these games. Care to explain how it works? What’s the mechanism for registering a ‘hit’? By inserting coin it resets gun so you get ten shots. The ducks rotate by mean of a 110volt geared motor, I've installed a transf...

I can imagine what the grown-ups would have said to that.
Is it a BANCo gun?

It's an ABT gun, giving 10 shots

Got bored so bought a few bits off eBay and went through spares box and come up with this.

It's my interpretation of a Duck Shooter.

Didn't have a 1d coin accepter but manage to find a 2 shilling one that works, it runs off 110 volts and you get 10 balls.

Just watched the 'Repair Shop' on BBC1 [Series 4 Episode 5], if you want to watch it.

Where they restored a 'Win/Place' machine.

They made an excellent job of cleaning all parts but a shame they didn't replace back of cabinet and put some locks on it.

Thanks BP

Having never been to Coventry Auction (it's a 3 hour journey), would it be possible for some photos of auction room etc?

Thanks for your help.

I've just got a Genco Spitfire for restoration. I've replaced all wiring as it was in poor condition, tested solenoids all ok. In previous post it states 12 volt SLA battery is suitable but not what Ah the battery is. At present I am testing with a 12 volt low amp charger which works OK on one item ...

This Sunday's auction is cancelled.

See EH website.

Hi Brian

If you're interested I've got a catcher that may interest you.



It still needs a little fettling.

I'm just outside Swansea, PM me if interested.

Hi there.

You have put a 'V' instead of 'X' in your web site address. *

All the best for the future.

Thank you Gameswat, I hunted high and low for a photo and could not find anything on this machine.

I'll try and make a video over Christmas, my wife loves playing it, but needs a bit more practice hitting the target!!

NOTE:- This is not for the purist. Earlier in the year I bought a 'Mutomatic Ltd., London', shooting gallery front. I tried to find out more of what the machine looked like, to no avail. So I put my imagination to work!! I was thinking of making a Pussy Shooter, then I saw a Clown shooter face at E...

I recently purchased an ABT Challenger pistol from eBay America. 1925ArcadeGun1.jpg When it never arrived I contacted the Post Office and Customs & Excise, both said it was not in the hands. I received a letter today from UK Border Force stating that it had been seized as a 'Realistic Imitation ...
