Re: Ahrens Marathon Cycle Race

I recently purchased a marathon bike race in the US. It came from an operator and unfortunately some of the original coin gear was removed so that it could be operated on US coin. I'm interested in getting this machine operating correctly back on English penny. Is there anyone out there who may hav...

Re: The end of the beginning

It's great that you're opening your wonderful collection to the public. I've added your museum to the Archive/Locations . Thanks pm, one day I hope to get them all out, I’ve got at least another 50 in various states of decay, all pulled from the back of old Showmens sheds etc. A collector once said...

Hi treefrog, the panorama is blurred on purpose 😂 it’s an old photo and would look a bit like a construction site if in focus. Planning to get better shots after small acorn stage :)

Excellent enterprise. I wish you every luck. You can't have much competition, which alternatively suggests you're breaking new ground. Be lucky! BP :cool: Thanks Badpenny.

Re: The end of the beginning

Simon, are you charging admission to stay within Aus legal parameters? Same question in 'loaning' visitors 25 pennies rather than selling them?

Rosenfield Unique Combination strength tester identified

Morning! Just wondering if anyone knows who might have made this floor standing strength tester? I’ve searched hard but maybe I missed something. 😂 It originally came from a Showman in Victoria.
