Thank you sir.

Just sent Mr Miers a note. I will let you know the result.

Re Scarnes book - yes Mr Bell, I have a copy and a great read it is too, although the tricks mainly relate to fairground apparatus, rather than coin operated machines.

Love all the information on gaming laws and how operators avoided them (or not) like the recent post on Justice Scrutton, company history, like the article on Streets in Resources. Manufacturer and operator fiddles (am I allowed to say that?) intrigue me too, such as the adjustable finger on a Bryan...

My 1960 Elevenses is 17 1/2 inches wide, 6 ins deep, 25 ins tall. The cabinet is made of 9/16 inch oak. Hope this helps.

Two parter - good idea, as it would allow room for more in depth detail for the less experienced.

Absolutely brilliant, I'm sure many of us wish we had that skill and knowledge. Look forward to the magazine article.

Markymark-it would be great to see pics and details of your progression of making the mould and casting.

In my opinion 'Automatic Pleasures' by Nic Costa is an absolute must have book. If not available from the Library on this site, there are some on Amazon and sometimes appear on ebay.

Could someone let me know how many symbols in total on each reel are on a Jubilee Riviera 10p OXO bandit. I have been told 24 but thought it more likely to be 20.? Thanks

Apart from M.Wright's site there is some information on BMCo in Paul Braithwait's book 'Arcades and slot machines' available from the library on this site-...

Well said Malc, that is what this site is all about, not squabbles, bragging rights and one upmanship.

Thanks for pics Bob, very similar to English allwins. Would they have been manufactured in Australia (do you have a makers name? It all helps towards the history) or perhaps they are English and the paperwork changed.

It would be good to see some photos of Wineasies.

Silverblitz - excuse my ignorance, when you say, 'spray into the lip and paint on', does that mean spray into the lid and brush on? Is that what you did all over? Fantastic job!

Nor have I and don't envisage doing so
