Haha, I've been there.
Titter ye Not, they may only be chipboard boxes, but the machines in that photo are worth the best part of £50,000. The Barcrest 'Razzle Dazzle' front left in the photo is worth £2,000+ all day long.

Thanks for the info, very interesting, sounds like a great collection, just my kind of thing.

Fantastic, I like those! They have different heads too. What are the other smaller figures and bits , one looks like a smaller goal keeper?

Cromptons made the best ball return on ice hockeys, no balls piling up behind the goal like the others, good lift, no jamming, very reliable.

That's a tantalising photo. Does the line of working models go all around the rest of the room? !!YIPPEE!! Still is "maker unknown", I can estimate some of the likely owner trail of collectors, but not the original maker. We still haven't determined the original maker of the Charlie and Ma...

I've operated mine for over twenty years and never had a problem - one of my most reliable machines. That's interesting JC, yours must be a good one.

its nice to see the original Captain Mainwaring on the forum

Super job, how long from start to finish?

That Win-a Lot was cheap!
Nice to see a Bryans Galloper. Lethal thing though, as you watch the little sister (standing watching her older brother who pushed past her to jump on first), ram the lever straight into 'Gallop', and watches him thrown off over the front.

You've done a wonderful job! and a fantastic looking and fun game to play too. I love the American coin-op rifle shooting games. Can Can Wonderland in Minneapolis has a massive floorspace packed with hundreds of similar US vintage electro mechanical arcade machines to play. My friend Larry operates ...

That would have made a nice little restoration project for you Gameswat!

I'd love to see it working, hope someone able bought it to restore

I wonder if the traffic lights changed like a Tuck Shop traffic light when the ball passed

Is that a glimpse of your living room Mr PM?
