I wasn't aware that it was for sale...

If it has uniselectors, it's likely to be a flasher. I wonder how the 'LOSE' indication works. On the only EdiStan machine I have, (Greyhound Stadium), the loser is shown when the odds and the winning dog don't match. Perhaps a hidden word 'LOST' lights up when the table has stopped flashing. I can'...

I'd like a close-up of the mech.
Soon tell if it's really a flasher, with a good pic or two. Would explain the apparent absence of anything to detect a win, though.

It doubtless tips up at the end of each play. I can't work out how it detects a win, though.
Could be Pugh Automatics. Definitely my type of machine.

If the labels &c. on the machine refer to 6d, then it has obviously worked on that coin. I'd say that it would be easiest to concentrate on finding or adapting parts on that basis. It also preserves the UK provenance. Like the Model T Ford, I would much prefer an example which had actually worked in...

Inflation would have eliminated it in any case; although it isn't clear whether the 'great inflation' of the early 'seventies was CAUSED by decimalisation, or whether decimalisation was a device to conceal the magnitude of it.

The German penny, or pfennig, is smaller than a sixpence, being 16.5mm as opposed to about 19.3mm for the 'tanner'.

Were they stored 'out of use' at Barry's, then?
If not, how did they escape the horror of decimalisation?

Great to have original sales material with a machine. Icing on the cake.

Have they done anything about the gaming rules yet? I just couldn't get used to playing machines that weren't permitted to pay out!

Oh! Bangor, Co. Down, then?
I love those seaside towns, they're so much like the Yorkshire ones were in the '60s.
...And the Fry at the Strand Bakery in Newcastle is amazing!
