Banditboy, you might like to quickly edit your email address out. Better to rely on sending a PM from within this website if you don't want to be swamped with spam mail...

Re: 3D printing machine parts
That is fantastic, Scottie. Are the dimensions of that part true? It certainly proves that 3D printing could be a solution for replacement of low-load components.

Re: Merrivale Old penny arcade
Was it Leonardo DaVinci that wrote in mirror script? *
*It was. Images now flipped in Photoshop - Site Admin.
A very nice arcade, Mr Merrivale. Some lovely machines. I look forward to having a play when I next pass through Great Yarmouth.

Re: Slot machines in your bedroom?
Just mentioned to the wife that hotels in the States were putting bandits in bedrooms and and asked her to give me a hand with getting the Sega Continental upstairs to our room. "You can f*** right off with that idea!" was her instant response. Women! No sense of humour.

Welcome to the site and thank you for the interesting article. Can't imagine why this was popular (BP, look away!):atticbrowser wrote: ↑Sat Feb 17, 2018 11:55 am .... I am told that the (rare) strip 'Sally Rand's fan dance' was a popular one with customers.

Re: reel strips
That bar style is the same as on my Watling. The fruit patterns do not match, however.

Re: Pace comet on ebay
Is it possible the vendor components were removed by an operator? Presumably, the vendor ruse was not needed to circumvent gambling law in the UK? I suggest this because I have a Watling that was the subject of a Samson conversion and that has a dowel used to fill the hole left when the vendor handl...

Re: Coventry Auction: Sunday 26th November 2017
I had a Bally. It was a lovely machine, working perfectly off the full copper 2np coin. For years I tried to get my eldest son to take ownership of it (he is in his thirties now and had been playing that machine for some 25 years). Finally, having bought his first house, he said 'yes'. Into the Land...

Re: Posts disappearing & why a pay area?
£5 per year? I would pay more than that just to read the BP missives! And, occasionally, I read a post that is absolutely spot on and I wish there was a means to simply tick a box saying 'I agree!'. Mr Peterson's thread earlier in this post is an excellent example. Well said, Sir! Now, please explai...

Re: Does anybody ever buy and sell?
You would be well advised to do your own research before committing to importing any machines. Shipping firms might be a good place to look for guidance.

Re: Does anybody ever buy and sell?
I thought "how hard can this be?" Wow, what a minefield. Don't take this as gospel, but this was the closest I could find. (Remember that 20% VAT is added to the sum of what you paid for the machine, plus shipping, plus duty (if any) and there is probably also going to be a handling fee ch...

Re: Don’t let go
I gave up on buying bandits after the tenth one so, whilst I plan to someday (perhaps) move on four of them there is one that I will always keep: a Sega Continental. Now I know you (Mr Coppin) are already thinking "that is because you cannot lift the bloody thing" but it really is my favou...

I'm currently going through a downsizing phase. At first I thought the above was part of the sentence above it about big knobs. then I realized your talking about machines,so we can expect some of your machines for sale at www.penny-machines.info ? Hey, Paul, you getting your websites confused?

Re: Thruppeny bits
£2 coin. Did you know the Royal Mint still makes a small number of thruppences? Something to do with them being needed as part of Maundy Money sets. Once we get through this Brexit business, maybe we can have a referendum on returning to a currency based on £-s-d? That will challenge the digital gen...
