Transparent Hi Top
Talking about Terrence Powell, obviously decided to give up with the Video section of ebay and put up this crazy see-through lite-up Hi Top under the collectables section. A while ago a Bally with perspex came up for sale. I sadly quite like this, multi lit as well, given me an idea for a machine wi...

Re: Ebay & Gambling Licence
Even the Powells are affected. Terrence Powell had a fantastic Jennings Peacock on Ebay last night, it really was the nuts..... but gone this morning and not ended by the seller. They make machines for commercial and private use, so probably have the best credentials possible, although did not state...

Re: Reel Refurbs or replacements?
You can carefully remove the worst of distortion from the tins in place, with a careful adjustment/gentle twist. If you are a perfectionist (or they are made of plastic), then try and find replacements, but most older machines have a slight bit of distortion... I don't own Jubilees, but if plastic, ...

Re: Michael Aspell: not his own hare
There is one of these for sale in Germany at the moment as the pictures below, but have only just seen PM's you tube video of one in operation. What a sweet little machine, with that wonderful noise when a target is hit from the piston. As below, looks like a clock mechanism times the hare motion I ...

Re: Rifle shooter
Based on the below previous thread, it is made by Streets. Tempting but as the seller says, it is big and, of course, not working.

Re: Bonhams auction results
The prices are a reflection of the ridiculous charges, I know they have a name, but that cannot justify 25% + Vat.....their London auction houses are even higher..... I am still a big fan of no buyers commission, but just a seller one, that use to happen....you get the punters in then. I assume Elep...

Sky Fighter - Mutoscope
A cracking looking shooter game appeared in Germany last week, made by Mutoscope around 1940.... Fantastic artwork.....These seem to have been popular during the war and there are a lot of write ups of them on the Billboard magazine....shame the seller removed this from auction..I wonder is any of t...

Re: Ebay Rules
What is silly though, when you click on the link to the gaming commision site is states: Gaming machines (fruit machines, slot machines) at home You can own gaming machines for your private use, as long as you are the only person who plays them.

Re: Hey Presto wooden box game / machine
All I know about BGL of London is they produced the only known electric wooden boxed game based on speedway (I only know this because I'm a fan of speedway and its history). As far as I can remember this game was made about 1936 (could well be wrong on that). https://pennymachines.co.uk/Forum/downl...
