I see what you mean

Thanks for that lead Slotalot

I'm not sure if it would be win too easy - personally I have found some of the B M Co allwins extremely hard to win on. When I find a 1 1/4" rubber ball I'll try it and let you all know.
Do you think it's worth checking with Bobby Vee for a rubber ball?

This latest photo shows a Win Easy with payout knob and cup - presumably to reward a winning shot with both a coin and free ball.

Thanks for that great bit of detective work PennyMachines - I see it's also listed in Paul Braithwaite's book.
Now all I need to do is find a ball for it - any ideas?

Can anyone offer info on this domino themed allwin?
It uses a 1 1/4" ball - presumably not steel, running on a flat brass track. Brass is also the choice of material for the painted backface.
The lucky player receives only his coin back - no ball to replay!

I'm hoping to get some coin entries for Bryans Payramids recast in brass as per the originals. It would mean doing a small batch to make it viable...so if you need one please get in touch

i meant to say three or four weeks ago

Is this the same one that sold on ebay three or four ago for £550?
(before i could get my bid on)

Hello, Mechanical fruits often have an anti cheat device which disables the payout when the machine is played without inserting a coin.You need to take a look around the escalator which is the device at the top which receives the inserted coins and moves them to the payout tube. there should be a le...

It wasn't bar symbols - it was £ symbols.

I think it was the other way around - Bally got the idea from the earlier Mills and Sega conversions via the British distributors. But you are correct that the Bally progressives became illegal at the end of the Sixties. At that time the jackpot was triggered by 777 or bar bar bar, so what did Bally...

In the 1960s many mechanical fruits were fitted with a hidden "progressive" jackpots to get round the law. This consisted of an electro mechanical stepper unit fitted to the machine which allowed the machine to pay out the maximum 10 coins allowed by law for the next ten pulls as long as a...

Well... I think you could be right PennyMachines. I've had a look at the carousel and the compartments may just be big enough for a packet of 5 Wild Woodbines. How much did they cost in the 1930s I wonder?
Still need to put a name to this machine though!

I wonder if anyone can put a name to this 9 cup machine? Maybe that was its name - 9 cup? If anyone could actually produce a photo of the top flash that would be just wonderful as I have yet to make this. What sort of prizes would have been given in the 1930s? I don't really think it would have been...

Just finishing a pussy shooter restoration myself-and you are right,there should be a piece of glass fitted between the two horizontal brass slots The shield that the gun barrel locates in on mine was a piece of rusty steel strip with a U shaped slot cut in it.This looked like a homemade part but i ...

Not all prices are falling
Last week on ebay (where else?) a Saxony type allwin sold for £701 !
Condition was OK but had non original instruction cards.
Is this a record?

Hi Woody
Here's a picture of my Air Plane

Also a picture of a BMCo eight aircraft cup playfield which fires the ball vertically.

Here are pictures of the Skill-Touch..awaiting restoration.
I remember playing the Road Test as a child..showing my age?
Not really -it was an old machine in the 50s! We digress---
