Re: spare a thought
I Sincerely hope Pete doesn't get flooded, I was in his arcade just last week taking pictures of his Buckley Crane as I am restoring one. He has all his model cars and figures from the village all lined up on Newspaper on the floor of his Vintage arcade. It would probably take half the day to clear ...

Re: Bally Electro Mechanical owners
Bally machines with "features" in the top box are beginning to be quite sought after now, from a collector's point of view! There were pictures of a Haunted House on here a few months ago which had some spooky animation in the top box and a swopped out belly glass. I believe it was a '70s ...

Re: part required for Buckley Crane / Digger
Thanks for help and pics guys.
I was thinking of having one made as well, so if no one's got one hanging around I will have it made.
Thanks again Guys

part required for Buckley Crane / Digger
Topic merged - Site Admin. Bit of a long shot this, but I am attempting to restore a Buckley Chicago digger and I bought it in pieces so as well as spending an arm and a leg on plating last year, I have the added bonus of finding there are pieces missing as I go along. What fun, NOT! :NBG: Well, he...

Re: Ebay collection... very nice they are too!
bummer!! I thought there are some nice bandits for sale on eBay? I do a search for the seller, 0 items for sale? I do a seller search for "completed items" again, not a sausage? Blimey, ebay police soon removed that lot, or so I thought, until I discovered the thread was nearly two years o...

Re: the haunted mansion
Well, I love it, as I do most of the "feature" Ballys.
What exactly is supposed to happen in that top box?

Novelty Merchantman Crane
I'm doing a resto and fitting a new motor to one of these cranes. Daft I know, but I have forgotten which way the cam is meant to turn?? looking in from the left hand side door (coin mech side) should the cam be turning clockwise or anti clockwise. Anyone who knows and can help this idiot in Suffolk...

Re: British gambling restriction work-around
Nice try, doesn't work I'm afraid.
Being in the USA, John, you probably cannot do a search on eBay UK?
But I assure you, you cannot do a search for it from the UK!
I did copy and paste the exact title on a Worldwide eBay search but it didn't show up

Re: set of feet needed
Ah Merchantman feet. I managed to get a set of those a couple of years back after searching Hi and Low for 18 months. Mine were worn and badly corroded but being ali they polished up good enough............. I guess I was lucky as very hard to obtain the originals as they take a lot of punishment an...

Re: The late Dick Bueschel
Hi Bill It's great to hear from you and good to be reminded about the legacy and huge amount of literature that Dick Bueschel bought to this hobby. I think I speak for many UK collectors that have his reference works and I have found some of his coin slot guides invaluable for my own restorations! I...

Re: Boys toys
Alan Partridge, lol!
Gotta love this Norfolk Bashing self centred phillistein!
Makes me laugh being a Suffolk Boy (by less than five miles)
I am told Norwich City Council blamed him for losing the prestigous city of Culture award a few years ago?
My missus hates his toe curling type of humour!

Re: Bad restoration on TV
I agree that American Restoration on History is corny as hell and extremely brash! That said, it is nice to see what people bring in and the obscene amounts of money they are willing to spend on them! But I think some may be missing the point here? IMO, seeing people make the family connection with ...

Re: Very Clever Idea.. How to Fool Ebay
I must admit, I have more than a passing interest in ebay as many of my machines were acquired and sold on ebay and I believe it is very sad the state of affairs that the antique slots are classed the same as the modern fruittys as far as the law is concerned. I think the petition is great, but real...

Re: Ebay & Gambling Licence
If the worse comes to the worse and you can't get your vintage slot auctions to run on ebay, why not just stick a video of a few games from your collection on Youtube. There are shed loads of old and new gaming machines on there and a few enquiries about whether they are for sale in the comments fro...
