Hi guys, anyone know how much this sold for? Cheers.

"If it ain't broken, don't fix it!"

Having a look on the web earlier and found this unusual Mills castle front. Never seen one before with that lower front casting on it. The listing stated only 3 known to exist. Has the deferred payout mech attached also. Sold I believe.

Funny you should mention that tf. I was offered that machine also for a grand. I was interested, but after studying the original pictures they posted I declined. There was a chip out of the casting on the front right hand side, not easy to see but big enough for me to decline their offer. Would rath...

Good shout

First machine I guess is a mills operator bell, the next row of machines I was thinking pace. Looking in the book entitled “slot machines” by Marshall fey, on page 113 is a picture of a pace “master bell” model and on page 134 a pace “operators bell”. Both similar looking to those in your picture.

I see this on eBay earlier. I messaged the seller in the hope of a viewing as I live close. They said they would just let the auction run its course. Then it disappeared. I guess it was reported as usual. At least these machines ARE out there. It’s all about finding them.

There has been a lot of positive replies on this thread. An annual gathering sounds like a great idea if enough enthusiasts can get together and work something out. I would like to see other amusement machines on show, which would appeal to a wider audience. And what about the gaming laws, would thi...

Do they still have a jukebox fair down South everyear? I am sure some vendors had slots on show. More like a rock n roll memorabilia event. I never attended but remember reading about the show somewhere.

Of course I wish Steve’s mum Gloria a speedy recovery and good health always. The Canterbury auction was too far for me with interest in only 1 item. I know Coventry had 2 auctions one year. I guess that won’t happen again any time soon....

Seems an age ago since I last went to an auction for amusement collectibles. 2 auctions in one day and now nothing on the horizon.....

Why not have them nickel plated instead? Might be cheaper and more durable

Could someone post the eBay link pls. I can’t find it. Cheers

Some very nice machines on offer this Sunday. Just a big shame the EE auction is held on the same day. Looks like I will have to rush to both again just like last year.....

In regards to import duty from the States, my first machine I bought off eBay and had shipped to the UK cost me 15 of 17.5 percent duty on top of the invoice figure. Was just over £300 for a 3000 dollar machine. Next machine I bought from the Nation's Attic only cost me 5% duty because a code was us...

Maybe polish the letters and numbers only.

Damn that's a BIG thumbs up!

Very nice. Not cheap to buy slots in the states and have them shipped over to the UK. I have bought a few in the past but none recently. If you can get a good deal on one of those bandits go for it! Collectors often buy a big collection just because they want one or two for themselves and sell on th...

Hi widget, can you post a picture of the pins in the top of yours please? I had another look at mine and got some of the payouts working as they should. But a few not having it. I now have....... 1x ten pays out 3 2x tens not a sniff 3x jacks pays out 10 3x queens pays out 13 3x kings pays out 10 3x...
