Hi
Thanks for the information. Just out of interest, what does an original stand look like? I’ve seen pictures with square and round ones. Are these correct?

Hi I am just after some information on octagonal mutoscopes, the penny grinder model, How many years where they produced for and how rare are they to find in the uk I’ve had a look on the new colcon website and it says there are around 10 known examples does anyone know if that figure is about right...

Hi Treefrog Glad you like what I’ve got done so far. The handle, as far as I can tell, is an older reproduction, and the reel tins I acquired off a spare mechanism I had. The cabinet was made by my dad's friend. I think he’s done a marvellous job of making it, as I dropped off what looked like a pil...

Hi This is how far I’ve got with the better one of the two War Eagles from Devon. It’s kept me busy during lock down. I’ve still got a bit to do and need your help. I have listed some of the parts I require in the wanted section. If anyone has any of these parts that they are willing to sell, let me...

Thank you for the additional pictures and finding out who made it, hopefully will be able to get a copy of the door sorted
Cheers

Hi thanks for posting the picture, do you have a rough idea of when it was made

F88BC958-38AD-42D9-9C16-A9F0A256DA00a.jpg Hi, I have recently bought this cast iron match vending machine and wondered if anyone had any better pictures of the front pieces that are missing, or a long shot, does anyone have the front pieces? I’ve had a look on the Elephant House website and the pic...

Hi treefrog it's just the operator's sticker on the side. The lady who I bought it off told me she had bought it in the 1970s from Bath, so that makes sense with the sticker. I think it's been in storage for the last 20 years. Definitely going to keep it.

Hi I bought the blue hi top from Leeds and have only just had time to have a proper good look at it. I have got a few questions about the castings and the inside of the cabinet. I took the award plate off and the casting is cut out behind it. Why would this be? Is it possibly for a light-up award ca...

Hi gameswat thanks for the info - will give it a read tonight cheers.

Topic moved & merged - Site Admin. Hi, I bought this Film Stars one arm bandit this morning from a local car-boot and am after some information on the age and maker of the machine. Also, has any one got any pictures of what the award card would look like, as it's missing. Any information would ...

Hi Chris, had a really enjoyable visit to your arcade on Wednesday, and my little girl absolutely loved playing on your machines, especially the Oliver Whales Have a Go. Glad she's caught the bug early, well worth a visit if you're in the area.

Hi,
I just thought it was a bit unusual with the handle on it, and didn't know if it could be matched to a certain machine. I'm starting to think that it is just off a filing cabinet and it was used for storage.

Does anyone know what machine this cash box is off or is it just of an old filing cabinet?

Hi,
I really like your allwin and how it's turned out. What did you use for the backflash and surround and where is it from?

Hi thanks for the reply and the information will have a look and check out the links
Cheers

Hi,
Would someone be able to give me a rough date of manufacture for this allwin and some information about the manufacturer?
Cheers.

Does anyone know if Watling Rol a Tops we're ever marketed to be sold in the UK or we're they mainly an American marketed machine, with a few been imported by arcade operators?

Hi penny machines thanks for your reply and the information on date and the manufacturer, have only been collecting a couple of years and still have a lot too learn

Hi have recently bought this attic fresh 24 cup BM Co and am after some information on a rough date of manufacture and how common are they to be on half penny play as a lot of machines I've seen are on penny. Would this make it older then a penny version of the same machine?
