I've just received a Bryans Tick-Tock which I won a couple of weeks ago on ebay. I'm curious about the "Supplied by Ruffler & Walker" badge on the front (see pic). Were R&W agents for Bryans or did they deal in used machines perhaps? Pardon my ignorance but I'm just curious about the history of the ...

I suspect the Bryans Bumper alone will be enough to persuade many to make the trip!

Regarding the Greyhound Racer just sold on ebay (Item no: 6243511953). Just curious but was anybody else surprised that this machine sold for over £4.5K or is this a fairly reasonable price?

I used to own that Austrian one, sold it on ebay a couple of years ago. I remember being a bit cheesed off that my "post to UK only" auction was won by an Austrian.

A standard pinball cabinet is around 56cm wide so that shouldn't be a problem. The heads are wider of course but are easily removed, you just need to unplug a few connectors that join the cab to the head (my 1972 Bally Fireball has just three connectors in the head to unplug).

I used to have a Twilight Zone that rebooted every time my wife turned on the washing machine! She did it first time I ever got to the wizard mode ...

The switch error is unlikely to be related to the reset problem. The software will have reported that switch 56 hasn't been activated for a while and is advising you to check it. It could be a faulty or badly adjusted switch or simply that you have not made that particular shot for a long time. Not ...

Some vigilant ebayers put in ridiculously high bids when they see a scam to prevent the unwary from bidding on them and getting ripped off. If it wasn't a 'Private Auction' you would have seen the high bidders name would have been something like "its_a_scam" or "scam_auction". Keith
