Message from Badpenny is that emails are getting through now - so that's all fixed... for the time being...

Thanks Stuart. I'll see if I can find a suitable solenoid on fleabay.

Do you mean restoration and repair of original but damaged prints or computer assisted reproduction of paperwork?

Hi Newbie and welcome. As Jerry said, the first two topics in Announcements were "stickies" but I've now reclassified them as "announcements" to separate them from the other chronological notices. Maybe this will make it clearer. The three "announcements" are in the wro...

It looks a whole lot nicer now the red paint has gone. I notice the mechanism had the original large bell but no solenoid to strike it. I wonder if your friend found a suitable replacement for that. Posted below is a mechanism with bell missing but solenoids in place. The one I'm restoring (bottom i...

OK we're back online. Sorry about the two day glitch: apparently the IP address was bound to the wrong server through a routing issue... No, I don't know what that means either.

I'm still struggling to fix this problem. Unfortunately, this means a few more hours of downtime soon.

Good find. I've put it on the Archive/Services page. If the cost isn't prohibitive, it should be useful for all sorts of missing plates, like an Anglicised version of the Elektromat score plates...

Hey lad - I took a day off just to introduce you to the wonders of Google search.

Where can you get the choc cigs from? Not seen them in years. 35p a pack: http://www.candy-licious.net/products/Chocolate-Cigarettes.html £3.99 for 3 packs: http://www.shinyshack.com/product.php?prid=212547&pn=Chocorillo-Chocolate-Cigarettes---3-Pack&gclid=CISj6JzP_6QCFRn-2AodzlTnfw £9.99 f...

It's nearly November 5th so - more Fireworks!

How about putting them on Chocolate Cigarette payout?
Anyway, I'm really excited to hear you're planning to operate some of your machines, Jingle.

Here's the Rockets and close-ups of the Crackerjack and Skill-Fun allwins.

Aha - I wondered if someone would say "That's mine!" Hope you don't mind me using the pictures - very nice floor if I may say so. I must have grabbed them off eBay when you had it up for sale. I've had three Fireworks , one on Ciggy payout, and no - none of them worked, or I didn't have th...

I'd noticed the topflashes weren't quite right but hadn't figured they were simply switched. As you say, WillBorl, the holes do suggest these cases were made for the manual payout versions. Your picture reminds me that the payout cups were the wrong shape and, more significantly, too high compared t...

Yes, it's Fireworks you have in mind. The equally rare Rockets was a Bryans flickball-type game which has a simple cascading, exploding firework graphic. I've also seen a three ball allwin called Rockets but don't remember the artwork. The Crackerjack allwin has a very simple yellow fire-burst and t...

Here's the row of five Snaps, referred to above, at Premier Amusements Arcade in Prince Street, Bridlington. Interesting to see that, although the picture glass is a different shape and size from the first version posted in this thread, it has essentially the same cartoon artwork. Makes me think the...
