There is also one of these at Portsmouth Naval Docks, in the cafe with a whole lot more of interesting machines!

You're probably best to contact Larry Debaugh at Cherry Restoration - there’s not a lot he don’t know about Watlings:

Thank God somebody knows what they're on about and yes I've actually got a Pace Fancy Front and they are quite different as you point out!

The original pictures a bit blurred I can see and just thought the round emblem says fey! I stand to be corrected.

Yes you're right! Also found it in one of my books!

Hi and welcome. A lot of the type of machines you mentioned are coming up in Peter Wilson auction house on 18th July. There's a link to it on this site somewhere! Good luck

After what I’ve just read only two things come to mind
YOU CAN DO IT WHEN YOU B&Q IT
And SHOULD OF GONE TO SPEC SAVERS

Oh dear, somebody's dropped a clanger. Welcome to the mysterious world of coin op and its participants.

Exactly couldn't have put it better myself!

Nice work and another one saved for another 80+ years !
