Re: Help with repairs
Hi Badpenny
On the bomber command the coin goes straight the way through to the coin box but doesn't release the handle to play
The defiant pic is an old one and the ball isn't in the play field...
Any chance of some further advice please - would photos of the insides be worthwhile?
Thanks
Woody

Help with repairs
Hi All - I have a couple of machines which should work fine - but don't! They were working until recently and I am so dumb I cannot work out why they have stopped working. I am not very mechnically minded which is not good.... I collect aviation and war themed machines. The two machines I have that ...

Re: WW1 and WW2 related machines
The topflash on mine isn't original. I am 80% sure the case is the correct one though - amazing how many photos etc. of these are coming out of the woodwork. I will be sending Melvyn a decent picture of mine over the weekend.
Cheers,
Woody

Just a polite observation on the operation of the forum. Is there any need to allow guests to post to the forum, without registering and signing in? Whilst I know IP addresses are registered, it would be nice when following a debate or thread to work out who is saying what for the sake on continuity...

Re: WW1 and WW2 related machines
Hi All,
I think the top flash on the Airplane is a later addition and not original.
Like the ebay machine - I have one like it - Photo attached.
Thanks for posting the photos.
Best Wishes,
Woody.

Re: WW1 and WW2 related machines
Here is a photo of my latest purchase. It is Airplane by BMC. Are there any more War time / War theme machines out there to add to the list?
