Daveslot, how did you know that your bid would've been highest on that Steer-a-Ball?? The bid I left was £30 above what it made, don't know if I would have won it though, depends what the other bidder left on it, and ebay have changed my password again, 4th time in 10 days, tried talking to them, o...

Here's the link for the floor standing verson. This went very cheaply as well I thought. The seller offers interesting info about them being the last off the Bollards production line etc. The seller also had parts and cabinets for two more. So three of them :shock: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAP...

I had a bid set up for the Steeraball, meanwhile ebay decided to change my password, something about my account being hijacked which I don't believe, so the bid was not placed and worse still mine would have been the highest bid, *******ebay!

yes they have owned it from new from the early 1950s

add some more balls into the playfield and see what happens

There are 4 more rare bryans allwins just appeared on there, with a different seller. Are these the same ones or fresh uns?

If the handfill jackpot is visible then it's quite rare and desirable as there is a lock in the indian head which you take off to reveal the hole for filling the jackpot, but often on a machine used in the UK it's a hidden token/jackpot tube thing which has replaced the original visible jackpot, thi...

Just seen this collection listed on ebay, item no.150325551115. Only 17k. Bargain!

i would guess this was "modernised" with a new front when it arrived in britain

if the machine you remembered had sound that it was probably a late machine by animated amusements made about 1970. there is one one ebay at the moment

hi, it looks like a revamped love meter by exhibit supply

It's a conversion. They were converted from the boring stocks and shares. I have seen other variations - I have one featuring car manufacturers. By the way, I think I was the under-bidder on yours on ebay.

Was that the machine in Doncaster?
Fourfive's machine looks like it was made after the New Tote and before the black one.

regret selling-- bryans rockets for £300, it was a long time ago
cricketer, matthewson shooter/gripper, mills dewey etc. a pity you cant keep everything

I think these are great machines, vastly underrated. Incidentally they are made by BMR: Brecknell, Munro and Rogers (BDR came later- the Munro part becoming Dolman). This is a version I have not seen before.

This has a Pace lookalike jackpot, so it's a Mills/Sega type mech with a Pace type jackpot made in Italy - very interesting . Does anybody know if they were made under licence or did they just copy bits of machines they thought would work?

These, I think, are made in Italy. I had one and the mech was the same as a Sega but marked "Made in Italy".
Astor, by-the-way, made a Hi Top lookalike with a Pace mech, also marked "Made in Italy".

jennings do have a coin return system but no button, sega also,it has a long tube from escalator to the coin tray to cope with reject coins but no reject button

prices have gone up

Hi, I think I saw one of these in the Carter 2006 sale. I remember seeing the ABT type castings on a strange case and assuming, wrongly it seems, it had been made up, so someone out there has another one.
