Re: 50 years today
Can vaguely remember emptying old pennies out out my piggy bank, for my mum to change at the post office!
My Question is, what prompted this change of coinage, we didn't enter the common market until 1973?

Re: Vending machine advice
So I thought you might be interested in the end product. First time I’ve tried using water slide decals. Scanned/made up some artwork and inkjet printed them. A bit fiddly to get on. I damaged one but adds to the slightly vintage look I guess. Tricky to get stuff to fit the machine. But ended up wi...

Re: Clacton-on-Sea - The Pier Bally Machines
Hi I had some dealings with the Harrisons in the early noughties. Mainly with Ted Harrison Sr.(RIP) One of the last vintage machines still in operation then was a very worn out Streamline Novelty Merchantman. I can remember the whole case was coming apart, but all the castings were there apart from ...

Re: Barn fresh Bryans Hidden Treasure
thank you pennymachines and tallstory. Dissembled the pump and soaked the washer in hot water and then applied some buttercream and works a treat. All the jackpot mechanism is complete and is revealed by a sliding door every play and hidden again at end of each cycle, so you have to play it once to ...

Barn fresh Bryans Hidden Treasure
OK, so this just made it into my workshop today. Because of this Covid crisis, I thought I would try and restore something a bit different. I know nothing about Bryans machines as I have only restored Bandits in the past, so a few questions. 1. How do you get the mech out of the case? 2. It cycles b...

Re: Xmas 2020 a year to be forgotten
Best wishes to Tom and others on here.! Yes 2020, worse year for buisness ever. I have both parents alive but as in 80s, we dare not risk having them round for Xmas dinner. The only thing good is I completed 6 projects this year. I have had a taste of retirement and i think i can live with it Lol! L...
