Yes, thanks for that. I agree. Very nice looking machine indeed and I love Mr Clown, but then beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

Re: Southport pier closed

That's very disappointing and sadly pretty much the story in my own hometown. I don't think the Southport Lawnmower Museum will cut the mustard for me!!

I've read that book but it is very expensive indeed for some reason.

Re: Great Yarmouth arcade on Quest TV

Hi Peter,
On the Square Emporium, Belfast had a puppet machine recently for sale. Not sure if it's still for sale or not but certainly worth a try.
Regards Nick.

Re: BBC Rewind - Minnie Delino, Barry’s Amusements

Where are they all now…. We know the Mutoscopes ended up in England at a museum… Yes a lot of the machines ended up in England although I have the largest local collection of Barrys Machines in my house. 272268314_4635043499884577_8251040944503162136_n keys.jpg Me with some of Mrs Delinos keys from...

Re: It's Slick

No problem Tony if you need any further photos give me a shout. I love my Slick machine. It is the actual machine I played as a young kid.

Re: Slick power

Hi there Handyman,
I use a Panasonic 3R12 4.5V in my Slick. On ebay for around £3.00.
Hope this helps.

Re: Recent purchases

Yes, bought it locally about 18 months ago along with a Ring a Bell machine. Definately a 'money taker' for the arcades, as very addictive!

Re: Recent purchases

IMG_1369.JPG Will keep an eye open for that promo film hopefully it will be repeated soon. Yes I probably should have bought that Ice Hockey machine too. The one I bought I bought purely as decorative wall display for my bathroom, as I'm getting into my wall displays these days. The auctioneer was ...

Re: Recent purchases

Thank you!! I was hoping no-one had clocked the slick machine lol ! but given I used to play this actual machine and the Grand National I would have went much higher as been looking for these two for years. The Ice Hockey machine I knew when I viewed it a couple of weeks ago it would have been a bra...

Re: Recent purchases

Thanks! Some of the signs and larger items were from Barry's Portrush indeed, though the older stuff was Barry's Bangor. No definitely shouldn't be any added paperwork for old machines like this going to the mainland, though a different story for sausages and cooked meat. In fairness, we have always...
