Re: Autofruit hornswoggle from Supershotbattymanbor

That would be a good idea, there seems to be a lack of information about Jamiesons machines.
I think one of the family is a member on here.

Re: Autofruit hornswoggle from Supershotbattymanbor

Love these old EM machines, I've got an earlier version of Autofruit.

Re: Opportunity of the decade coming

Just got back from the sale. Only bought a couple of small bits, a jackpot glass & 6d badge for my Hi-Top, but the venue is only 10 mins away from me, so quite pleased with what I got. Looked like there were a lot of useful spares & a few nice machines for sale, too. There was a very nice al...

Re: One from the loft

Don't know anything about it, but it's a cool looking machine.

Shipping company

Could anybody recommend a good shipping company to ship a machine from America?
Thanks, Gaz.

Re: Opportunity of the decade coming

It's just up the road from me, so I'll try & get there after my nightshift. Incidentally, I bought one of my first bandits off Mick Jnr, 20 years ago.

Brighton Beach bonfires

Years ago, I heard a story that when Britain went decimal, as all the old machines were going to be too costly to convert, all the arcade and fairground owners got together on Brighton beach and burnt all their old machines.
Did this actually happen, and has anyone got any pictures?

Re: Williams Pinball

Sort of related, as it's a Williams of the same era, this is one I'm restoring. Someone had painted over all the lovely graphics, fortunately, I was able to get the paint off with some strong cleaner I 'liberated' from work, a few years ago.

Re: Electrodart on eBay

Finally finished the woodwormy Electrodart. Electrics were a bit tricky, but after a bit of work, they now all work OK. Had to replace the capacitor on the play relay, & also fitted a bridge rectifier in place of the old selenium one, fitted 2 LED bulbs for the main lighting, as they run a lot c...

Re: What colour to stain a new softwood case for a Rotofruit?

I've just made a new base for my Electrodart out of pine, & I used some Ronseal 5 year wood stain (mainly 'cos I had some left after painting my gates), & it seems a reasonable match.

Re: Electrodart on eBay

He did say that it had worm damage, but he didn't think it was recent. I've not found any live worm yet, so think they all died off years ago.
