Re: Aristocrat Five shilling token

I had given up anyone ever responding. I'm in Chester and was at the auction but only got lucky on the Double Six machine which I will fully restored in time for the auction in 2025!! The Aristocrat tube is a little bigger than the old 2/- coin. I use some foreign coins at the moment.

Re: Coventry Auction - 29 November 2009

I hope to be there in Coventry on the 29th. To be honest I've looked forward to it since the minute I left last years. I also appreciate the hard work that is put into organising such a well run day and the shared advice given to those of us whose machines aren't working as well as they should. Keep...

Re: Caille Ben-Hur

Thanks to all for the information. A friend has told me that he had a machine exactly the same some 20 years ago and he was told that some 200 machines were imported for the British market between the wars.
