ABC Coin Co "Double Skippy" 1937
I saw this game online today while searching for something else and it struck me as quite a clever little trade stim/bar game that would have been popular(especially as a bar game between drinking pals). I'm sure some have seen it before, I have not. Made by ABC Coin Co (who seem to have made only t...

Re: John Taylors slot machine auction: 12/03/24
trust the BBC to have no idea, take what they were told as fact and do no checks of their own," the whole collection is expected to fetch £16,000 !! " it actually fetched a little over £40,000

Re: Rotamints
Although the vehicle in the photo could well be a Ford it's more likely to have much in common with you and be a "Willy(s) old bird", or even a willy old small bird (a "Bantam")

Exhibit Supply Jockey Club identified
It seems I'm making these harder each week. Don't blame me, I'm just trying to help people out.
So, can anyone ID the maker of this poor beast please? I can't find anything close. Bally perhaps or Pace?

You're mixing it up with your old Ford Prefect BP.

Re: Extraordinary Escalator
I might be wrong but I thought the JP glass was attached to the JP unit and just pressed up against the window frame. This allows you to remove the unit without the coins all falling about. It certainly was not glued, but I could be wrong. I'll look at my Extraordinary. The gold award unit is common...

Re: Sega Continental Grand Prix
I once bought two off a guy who didn't know you could take the mech out and had carried them up two flights of stone stairs in a block of flats !! Even dismantled I took my life in my hands getting back down those stairs.

Re: Handle hard to pull
the first thing to know is, is it the handle or the mech that is stiffer? with the mech out of the case is the mech harder to cycle than it was before? and at the same time, is the handle real smooth without the mech in place? Then, of course, with new springs etc the mech should be stiffer (as it w...

Re: Contraband Spain movie, 1955: arcade games identified
A question, just out of interest, on the cast iron machines in all the photos I've seen the gun was on the right (which made sense as most people are right-handed and with the machine sited flat against a wall the gun would be easier to use, yet I see the one of the two in the photo has the gun on t...

Contraband Spain movie, 1955: arcade games identified
A man in Spain has asked me what the machines in this still from the 1955 movie "Contraband Spain" are. The two cast iron shooters I've seen before but don't know the facts. I believe the machine on the right is a Bryans "Satellite" (?) The one in the distance is, of course, hard...

Re: John Taylors slot machine auction: 12/03/24
Some interesting prices there. Unusual to see three cranes in the same auction, although it must have needed work or had a bad problem. One was very cheap.

Re: Broken bottom slide
I think Tom is right. There seems to be nothing broken, just a little wear in the middle. Not a problem.

Re: Hellomat Quarta (CAM conversion) identified
not sure if it has a 15 sec play? What exactly does it do? Other than bore you to death, nothing, There was a law in Germany that said the player had to have value for money so the game had to last at least 15 sec, which doesn’t sound long but it's never-ending when you play. Watch the video above ...

You are all going to hate this!
I'm no fan of customised slots, but sometimes people ask me to design a set for a dying machine. I don't like them but they are fun to design.
Sorry about the quality of the photo.

Re: Need a Guru
I happen to know the prize dispenser on this particular machine is only 40mm deep (front to back), so I'm thinking it was a Spangles or similar. Do others agree?
