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 ...

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 ...

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

Same as last pic, Jingle, on the jewel box.
Thanks for your interest!

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...

This one was on ebay a few months back, don't know if this pic is helpful??

There are people probably more able to help there as they are more fans of the EM stuff

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...

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

Thanks Bob and JC, that's mighty helpful.

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...

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

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...

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...

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!

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 ...

Anyone know where there might be one for sale in the UK?
please feel free to post your contact details below

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...

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...

well this auction has almost reached its conclusion and one arm bandit is in the title??
could it be its on american coinage and listed as non working??
