Looking forward to Coventry and seeing you lot there.... I'll be the old guy

I acquired a Nostalgic Machines 'Hole In One' and the backflash is -predictably- sun damaged/discoloured and warped.. So I wonder if anybody knows of a template for it.. ..Or could I replace it with a similar backflash? Its a mk 1 machine.. I know this machine isn't exactly an enthusiast's choice, b...

Wow. And you worked on 'Tommy'? Great movie (my experience of seeing in particularly enhanced his mum!) but I can't watch it now cos of different feelings when seeing those pinball machines being smashed up! V best from dismal Oxfordshire.. Martyn

Win-a-lot; superb & thanks for the video. Love the Christmasy lights..


'Win-a-little' might have been a better name though!

Hello there old prune - if that's not too over familiar- so which allwin did you acquire?

I've got the mk1 Payramid and the jackpot won't pay out; different mechanism to the one shown above; anybody got any hints please? Cheers chaps.

Well, progress with my 1/2d Payramid; great news; as pennymachines suggested, the original 1/2d WAS behind some plastic padding (pooh!) filler on the top casing, so I am somewhat chuffed.. Thanks Guv'..

Best to all from sunny Oxfordshire..

Well, I can confirm that both those posted 'results' and the postee were absolutely 'live' at yesterday's auction, which I had the pleasure of attending.. Some lovely machines -must admit I was tempted by the Bryan's Gap- but it was tooo much, but I found consolation in the purchase of a 'pinball' b...

Are those Payramids at this Sunday's Coventry auction? The catalogue seems to stop at item 193!

I think you can use Tesco vouchers at Drayton Manor, so it could be a sort of freebie...
(Thats a UK supermarket loyalty scheme, for any US readers!)

I'm really pleased to be the custodian of my halfpenny mk1 type Payramid, and I must admit I paid a lot (+100s) more than £1,500; but I would love to compare it to others 'in the flesh' as it were. Is the collection at the Drayton Manor 'family park' worth a peep? Oh - I hope to be able to attend th...

I must tell you I paid in excess of £1500... probably too much I now realise but it is quite a rare machine so OK over the long-term I hope!

Thanks for comments. Yes; it's a 1/2d play- coin conversion removed. Instruction card is glued in and is rather rough; needs to be replaced; anyone got one they could copy for me please? Locks being refurbished. You know, I think I'm inclined to agree about the chrome/obvious age etc... But I intend...

Post split from Hi from foggy Oxfordshire - Site Admin. ...to my delight I have just acquired an old HALFPENNY PLAY PAYRAMID!!! It cost loadsa money but I am quite delighted... Predictably, I would like advice on how to restore/maintain the Payramid and will create a post asking the question 'shoul...

Ah, I know of a similar one; the late owner's wife thinks it's worth "thousands". 6p play: all chrome: not pristine... hmmmm... I offered £1000 via a contact; no reply!!

Goad afternoon Forum chaps and chapesses; introducing myself; I am a retired chap, named Martyn; I live near Oxford. I have always been fascinated by mechanical things and electro-mechanical things like jukeboxes and one-armed bandits... About 30 years ago, before the kids were born, I owned a 'prop...
