No problem Tony if you need any further photos give me a shout. I love my Slick machine. It is the actual machine I played as a young kid.

Hi there Handyman,
I use a Panasonic 3R12 4.5V in my Slick. On ebay for around £3.00.
Hope this helps.

Love the Lost Scooter Racer, Peter. The restoration looks amazing. Well done indeed!

Yes, bought it locally about 18 months ago along with a Ring a Bell machine. Definately a 'money taker' for the arcades, as very addictive!

Grand National and Slick cosmetically and mechanically restored and both great fun.

That is very kind of you to say that indeed!

IMG_1369.JPG Will keep an eye open for that promo film hopefully it will be repeated soon. Yes I probably should have bought that Ice Hockey machine too. The one I bought I bought purely as decorative wall display for my bathroom, as I'm getting into my wall displays these days. The auctioneer was ...

Thank you!! I was hoping no-one had clocked the slick machine lol ! but given I used to play this actual machine and the Grand National I would have went much higher as been looking for these two for years. The Ice Hockey machine I knew when I viewed it a couple of weeks ago it would have been a bra...

Thanks! Some of the signs and larger items were from Barry's Portrush indeed, though the older stuff was Barry's Bangor. No definitely shouldn't be any added paperwork for old machines like this going to the mainland, though a different story for sausages and cooked meat. In fairness, we have always...

Few recent purchases originally from Barry's Amusements Bangor.

Both finalists actually born in Canada as all my Canadian friends keep reminding me !! But I'm claiming her as one of ours.

It is indeed a real shame - such an unusual building too. It was in the process of being classed as a listed building but was destroyed in a mysterious fire late at night before it was listed.

Lovely oil painting by a talented local artist of my childhood arcade Barrys Bangor with me and my mother walking past, sitting above one of Barrys machines.

Hi there, I bought the trim from ebay (here is a link), then put a black pinstripe down the centre. Trim comes in different widths and lengths and has its own sticky back: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/15mm-x-5-metre-Chrome-Styling-Strip-Trim-for-Boats-and-Cars/271417807454?hash=item3f31c3125e:g:4hgAAO...

Charming video of my seaside town in better times. A lot of the art deco buildings in the video now sadly gone as is the very unusual Barrys building itself, all hit by mysterious fires at the dead of night while waiting for listed status.

Yes indeed, seems like a big cabinet for little action, when a wall mounted one would have done the job.

That's a shame!

Here is Minnie with her keys, looks like she operated the arcade till 85 years old... Spent a lot of the 1970s in that arcade. Yes, Minnie closed it when she was in her 85th year. She kept her fish and chip shop and ice-cream business until she passed away in 1987. Her favourite machine was the Lau...

Not sure as haven't viewed it yet. Has been offered to me locally. Needs work by the look of it. Never seen this type before.

Anyone seen this one before? This type of Wheel Em In not familiar to me.
