Last question for today! I am missing the ball in my defiant machine. Pictures below I have tried kicking the machine and probing / poking it but the ball appears to have fanished In fact I don't think there was ever a ball in it since I purchased it... Can anyone please tell me the size of ball I n...

Greetings I have a bomber command machine and have a problem with the mechanism. I think a spring has come off. the coin goes straight through and does not allow me to then pull the handle and engage the mechanism. A pic of the mech and where i think the sprin has come off is below. The big question...

Greetings everyone - I woke at 5am this morning and couldn't go back to sleep, so decided to try to tackle some of those jobs I had been putting off. I decided to clean my small collecion of machines. This consisted of a dust and putting a very small amount of natural was on the wood. I just rubbed ...

Greetings All
I have purchased a machine from the 60's which takes USA 5 Cent Coins - I have tried to track some down via ebay
with no joy. Does anyone know of any good sources for these little coins please?

After much negotation, I have managed to spend enough money on my wife for her to allow me to buy Crane! I am looking for some advice on which type of machine is a good one to buy. The two ones I have considered are Electric Travelling Crane and Novelty Merchantman Crane. Are there any ones that are...

Hi Badpenny

On the bomber command the coin goes straight the way through to the coin box but doesn't release the handle to play
The defiant pic is an old one and the ball isn't in the play field...

Any chance of some further advice please - would photos of the insides be worthwhile?

Thanks
Woody

Hi All - I have a couple of machines which should work fine - but don't! They were working until recently and I am so dumb I cannot work out why they have stopped working. I am not very mechnically minded which is not good.... I collect aviation and war themed machines. The two machines I have that ...

The topflash on mine isn't original. I am 80% sure the case is the correct one though - amazing how many photos etc. of these are coming out of the woodwork. I will be sending Melvyn a decent picture of mine over the weekend.

Cheers,

Woody

Just a polite observation on the operation of the forum. Is there any need to allow guests to post to the forum, without registering and signing in? Whilst I know IP addresses are registered, it would be nice when following a debate or thread to work out who is saying what for the sake on continuity...

Guest

You're completely correct.

Hi! Just passed a law degree by part-time study so know a little (dangerous thing).. What is the geographic coverage of the gaming act do we know? - I could look up but being a bit lazy here. May be we should have the auction in Jersey or Herm Island leaving the machines on the mainland (only kiddin...

Ah - Could be, but my machine has the red white and blue circular decal and no top flash - so I am not sure now...

Cheers,

Woody.

Arrgee

Forgot to ask - can you recall how much the machine sold for on ebay please?

Cheers

Woody

Hi All,

I think the top flash on the Airplane is a later addition and not original.
Like the ebay machine - I have one like it - Photo attached.

Thanks for posting the photos.

Best Wishes,

Woody.

Here is a photo of my latest purchase. It is Airplane by BMC. Are there any more War time / War theme machines out there to add to the list?

Regards

Woody
