Almost impossible to re-create.
Where are they going to find all those Yanks?

I have to agree with JC here.

This was the problem that ultimately led to the (usually hideous) front-opener.

I'm ready to take a few more Boland machines...

... but not at £1300!

I joined that Club a few weeks ago, with what claims to be a Black Beauty, but doesn't have the hand-load jackpot (like yours), even though it ought to have.
They're a good machine, and you could have a collection JUST of Hi-Tops, such is the variety.

That sounds like good advice!
Thanks.

It looks like it has a hopper payout, which means complicated electrics.
I already have a Grosvenor Electronic which I can't fathom out. I really ought to stick to all-mechanical types in future.

It's on eBay.
I need some help in NOT buying it!

The EGYPTIAN Holy Water dispenser is certainly not a period drawing.
The perspective is right...
