I don't know a lot about it.
I get it confused with the famous 'timewarp' arcade at Mablethorpe. I've not seen photos of either, although there is film of the interior of the Margate one.

That sounds like the famous (and fast becoming fabulous) 'Arcade at Margate', well known in these circles.

Catching the coins being chucked down the glass was a big part of the fun in playing the large version. Watching people scrabbling to catch the coins always reminded me of seagulls squabbling over a spilled bag of chips; an undignified display of greed. I never imagined a single-player Wheel-'em-In...

The famous Mills fruit symbols were 20 to the reel even before 20-stop mechs were even thought of. Mills opened-out the reel window so as to expose three symbols on each reel, rather than just the ones on the payout line. It gave extra excitement, because it produced the 'just-one-off' factor.

It's in the same vein as Crompton's Derby, or the various Whittaker-style Roulettes. It would be great to have a list of what actually survives, and in what condition. That way, things would have a better chance of survival when storage becomes unavailable. To start such a list, I have a (Pugh's) 2-...

A feast of my favourite electro-mechanical gems.
Jamieson's Automatics are well represented. One of mine (Top Dog, I think) has the Kraft label still present.
I didn't know these were available in 4-player form. Something else to look for!

Matches are dangerous; they can catch fire.
They should sell them without the red bit on the end; same as they've done with sweet cigarettes.
Much safer all round.

It's certainly got blanked-off holes, but the extra symbols look to be oranges, not lemons, which is odd.
I'd clear away all those 'stuck-over' symbols, and see what's beneath.
