Re: The law, company history and fiddles
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.

The law, company history and fiddles
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.

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

Re: Arcades and Slots
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.

Jubillee Riviera symbols
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

Re: BM Co. 'Fleet Air Arm'
My understanding is not so much that O. Whales took over BMCo but that they bought a quantity of stock from BMCo around the time of its closure. 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-...

Re: Showman's Paint
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.

Re: Bringing them back from the grave!
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!
