You`re right bp. Nothing beats the real thing ;-) But among the wallmounted entertainmentmaschines, from the 70`s; this one is among the better ones in my opinion. I am sure taht it in 1971 was relatively expensive because of its complexity. I know there are other wall-pinballs; but never seen any v...

Thanks for the comment bp. No nasty electronics in its internals. It is a miniature version of its bigger contemporary sisters and brothers. Taste is a relative term. I find it very nice looking. The orange and green is really time-typical, and kind of in fashion these days. I really get 70s vibes w...

Have a look at this machine: It's a "FLIK FLAK", dated back to approx. 1971. Made by the German company Aisch & Melchers. I have also seen this machine refereed to as a Wurlitzer. I know that wall-mounted entertainment machines were branded Wurlitzer; but I do not have actual knowledge...

Slotalot: You made my day with that article. !!YIPPEE!! As icing on the cake, the main picture in the link you refered to shows a Maxi IV flick-a-coin machine. That was the final model, the most evolved one. Thank you so much. I will bring this info to other Norwegian collectors who will find this v...

Hi. Just wanted to share a discovery I did just a few weeks ago: In Norway numerous versions of drop-case machines were released over a 50 years' period. During the late 1970s until the mid-eighties there was a Norwegian distributor named Scandomatic. This company marketed a drop-case machines calle...

Thank you for kind feedback. I also have some classic UK-allwin-machines in my collection. You know; the type with ball bearing looping from the down right side into a payout-slot. As I anderstand these machiens were the common ones during decades in the UK; the flick-a-coin-machines were the standa...

Dropcase machines was the norm for almost 50 years in Norway. Came in all kinds of variations; from fully mechanical to modern electronic ones. Here you see my collection; or most of it anyway.

Bought 2 of those locks yesterday.
Great advice again. Thanks.

Got a 40-50s classic allwin with broken front-glass. The piece of glass has an "organic"/ period feel to it, being pritty thick and uneven. A modern replacement would not be right.

Is it possible these days to get hold of pieces of glass with that "old feel"?

What a great feedback. Thanks

If you do check it tomorrow and confirm the length is fine, I will order that lock ASAP.

I got my hands on a good condition early Challenger recently.
It lacks the upper locks. So I wonder if any of you have these for sale; or know what type / where to buy this?

Thanks for any help

I appreciate the feedback received so far. Thanks guys.

If you for discretion reasons would like to give a feedback in a PM, that's welcome. The background for my inquiry is that I am offered this machine. I live in Norway, where there is no market for British allwins, as these mainly were imported by private enthusiasts over the year. Just a few models ...

I am aware there is a certain "relativity" when it comes to prices; but I a sure some of you have a bit more concrete estimate of fair marked-value of this machine. Are we talking £500-£800-£1000-£1200?

This machine was operated from the1950s until the 70s at George Brenner's arcade, Grand Pier, Weston Super Mare. It's a big / nice machine. Anybody who have input about production year and history? I noticed on an arcade-picture on PM; with a another version of the "24" winning cups in the...

Nice machine this. A combination of ball-bearings and coins in the front of the machine is uncommon on more modern machines. Fredslilja and you other guys: What is the "right" price for this machine in fair / good; complete condition ? Advice is appreciated; as I am making bids for such a ...

Thanks for the feedback so far. Informative for me. Appreciate it . I have to lube & look over the mechanism, as it havent been used for decades. But as the payout-scheme states; it pays out 2,4 or 6 coin; hitting the right holes. Nice theme on this allwin. Soccer & bets are allways a winner...

I got a Wonders "Pools". My machine was operated in Norway; so coinage and instructions are in Norwegian. Anybody who knows when these were made? I need both locks & key for this machine. Tips for which locks fit? Do the locks come with the lining around the lock-cylinder? Any comment ...

Anybody heard of a machine named "Sprint Track", made by Dennis Jezzard?

This is a Dennis Jezzard " Tap a fruit" dropcase / flick a coin-machine. Probably made late 1970`s.
The voice in the video is in "viking-language" (Norwegian).
