It was a very nice machine, sorry to report the Starlet machine is no longer available.

I was the under bidder at £580 on that Le Mans, and it was only when I got back home and thought about it I realised that I was very lucky that I had lowered my bidding card when I did. At the time I was in a trance thinking I just had to have that machine despite the whole of the back board like pa...

A really great informative video of the Bryans - Bullion, Very well done !

I own one of these 3d Challengers and up to this topic being mentioned i had never even noticed those 3 Silver Circles, Iv'e just had a look inside my machine to check, and they do appear to be just holding the middle part together, as a member suggested, they are nothing to do with the game play of...

Hello again Potless. When you first posted about this machine, it sort of rung a bell in my head. I read your post about six times to try and bring something to mind, as I saw a hell of a lot of the larger floor standing machines back in the 1960s. Why I vaguely remember this machine is because I us...

Hi Slotalot, yes, that is Streets Spot Luck - well done! The two dice were kicked out one at a time from their respective traps from the right hand side as we look at the image, then a bar swept them back in to their traps, and then the payout was activated. Very nice to see a picture, it was just a...

Wembleylion, The Streets Spot luck with the dice that had holes in, did have 2 dice. These dice were thrown out on a flat surface one at a time on separate tracks, A metal bar then swept BOTH dice back in to their respective starting blocks, then the payouts kicked in, so your payout theory could ha...

That's the one! Many thanks to Slotalot and Freddy for coming up with this article / picture. I never thought a picture would surface. This brings back so many happy memories for me, and probably Potless. Thanks Again!

Pennymachines is correct, you could bet on more than just doubles coming up. I watched that machine in action for quite a while on each day of my week's holiday. The top and bottom of the cage was thicker, so this must have somehow activated the payouts. It's different to Streets Spot Luck (that I m...

Hi Potless, I was about 13 when I first saw this dice machine. Can I just say that your drawing of the machine is pretty much just as the machine looked. I can't remember the name of the machine either, but it was a very eye-catching, huge slot machine that really stood out in the arcade

A nice thought John, but the deflector and the plastic triangle are not connected together. The holding and releasing of all the coins is all done via the plastic triangle.

Hi, I am just wondering if anyone has ever come across a bullion on old penny play with a top prize of 10d ? , there is one on E Bay at the moment with the top prize of 10d, , I always remember on old penny play the top prize was 12d, Is this one rare, or could it have been on new penny, and maybe c...

I've just checked my dvd copy of the film Hue and Cry and the clip gameswat refers to appears 35 minutes into the film.

I think it's Sunday 1st December

Hi There, Just read the first part of the Jamiesons article in the latest Mechanical Memories Magazine and it is a great informative article, a load of important information and pictures. The whole three part story will be a fantastic article. Anyone who does not subscribe to the magazine is missing...

What ever has happened to lucy ? Come on Lucy give us all an update how you got on !

I think it's plastic, not glass.

I've just checked in the Arena and the Beachcomber you mention sold for £310, The Sky Diver sold for a little bit more at £330. I also have not seen one of these come up for sale since.

Reading these latest postings gave me the urge to flick on to Youtube and watch yet again some of Supershotbattymanbor video's , i must admit i do enjoy them ,(even though iv'e watched most of them numerous times), I know that he is a member on here , and i would like to say, I am looking forward to...
