rather creative..................

take the dado rails off the walls PB and you would have extra space to store your stuff

Why is the 5 win hidden in a cupboard Alan, or is this 'female appeasement/pacification'

What have mules got to do with our capitulation? Oh Mr BP did your history teacher of class 1964/65 not tell you about the spinning mule, the spinning Jenny, the Luddites :smash: , the Tolpuddle Martyrs dirtdog and all that rebellious stuff of a past age.

Very fine job that man
well done Alan, a lovely looking machine

In my excitement of seeing one of these amazing machines at Watermouth, probably the only one left working, I did not take a video so next time I am there I will make sure I do!

A classic example of what this Forum is all about - helping like minded fellow collectors.

Well done Stuart

So sorry to hear this GP67, my brother departed this world a few years ago, I understand why you feel this way, at a time like this most other things seem just irrelevant. Hope everything goes as well as can be expected for you all under these difficult circumstances.

Yes, he is a member of this Forum so hopefully you should get an answer.

Well done Stuart, so what is the next project to fill that vacant sailor space?

Well done jonathans257,
I am sure that Nigel, the original producer of Nostalgic Machines, would be pleased so see this - not sure if he still logs onto this site or if he is still involved with slots?

looks a tidy machine Alan, has the chrome been re-done?

A rather nice late 5 win in streamline case that was at a Knowle auction around 2008 showing the 'other' direction of stripe and rectangular payout cup.
