Re: Allwin Punch and Judy keys
If the front fits inside the case (as most allwins) the lock usually only goes a couple of millimetres into the case side and you can usually use a suitable lever/wedge between front and case to make a big enough gap to ‘spring ‘ the case open without doing any damage.

Re: Treasure Cave (Elephant Gift Vender)
Definitely keeping the elephant and as much of the original machine as I can. There's a top flash to go on it as well, but one of the glass panels is broken, and it makes it too tall to go through a standard door, so may have to be a bit of sympathetic re-work on that. I've even got a load of origin...

Last year I deci...
