It's the lesser of two evils really, in order to be able to pay out the vendors on the day we need to get the money in first. As it was, and despite it all being explained in the conditions of sale in the catalogue and clearly spelt out by Jerry before the auction we still had two numpties who could...

Mr BP bought nothing ...................... he doesn't need to he just picks them up off the floor at the end for nothing!

The Porter’s Report – Coventry 2009 Every year we say how pleased we were with the auction, and this year is no exception. Everybody pulled together and helped with putting up the tables, organising the table layout plans, checking admission by catalogue, security on leaving and putting the tables a...

Thanks everyone for our best ever yet! Although I have the shortest journey of anyone (2 miles - just round the corner) I've only just surfaced and have still to get my thoughts together. I'll do a "porter's report" and post it on here as soon as I can. Hope you all got home safely with yo...

Stop the vane on top of the clock at the back, that will stop the cycle, line up the required winning reel combination and let go of the vane. Same for most 3 reelers................... assuming I've understood the correct meaning of "frig" ?

Nice find, will you paint it or polish it?

Coincidently I have a bucket full of bent and thin pennies!

Hi Mark ......
Welcome to the forum. From what I've seen they cost about the same as a decent original Jennings.

So you takes your pick and you pays your money.

Can anyone offer info on this domino themed allwin? It uses a 1 1/4" ball - presumably not steel, running on a flat brass track. Brass is also the choice of material for the painted backface. The lucky player receives only his coin back - no ball to replay! I see in the photo you've got the ol...

I think I've seen two over the years on ebay.

I used to have a Snap when I was in my last pub. It never occurred to me to operate it and it lived in the garage with my Harley. Then one weekend we had a Hairy Bikers' do/BBQ/Live rock music sort of thing with camping in the back field. I suddenly realised that a whole bunch of our "guests&qu...

Welcome to the forum Chrisfabs

Sorry for the delay I have four examples to choose from 2 governors both awaiting my attention a galaxy likewise and a superb 1930's Dixie Bell which will be in the Coventry auction with no reserve! (it pays to advertise) First here are three photos from differing angles to whet your imagination. I ...

Hi Lee.......... Welcome to the site. Bally electro mechs don't tend to figure highly in our ramblings on here, however we do have a couple of collectors who have during the last year dabbled in that direction. Hopefully one of them will be along later. Alternatively we have a live slots auction in ...

Alternatively catch up with Jerry at Coventry.

Well done matey, it certainly looks the part, I know you've sweated blood on this so it's great to see such a superb result.

It's been very quiet on here for days ..... have you all gone on holiday together and not invited me?

.............. tell her it was the last machine for last year this is another year.

Going once, going twice …why keep going at all? Of course I’m talking about the live auctions that Jerry runs and I generally get in the way at. We’ve run five now, three in Coventry and two at Sarratt in Hertfordshire. I thought I’d take this opportunity to give some insight about how we’d like to ...
