I was just wondering why Nostalgic covered their machines in crap when there was lovely wood underneath I bought a number of (old original) machines in the past from the owner of Nostalgic. He told me that the Nostalgic wood cabinets were just plain softwood and wanted to make them look a bit bette...

Hi M, another brilliant video, well done.

- do you have a list of numbers of all the Bryans machines/models built you could post? Unfortunately not. As with many manufacturers machines, not all production runs were recorded - or if they were, have probably been lost in the intervening years. However a lot of Bryans machine production numbe...

It can be a strange phenomenon of this hobby that rarity of a machine doesn't always go with value Often thought that myself bp. Bryans Payramid typical example. The original 1934 model invariably attracts greater value than the 1960 version, although the later machine is much more scarce, 380 only...

I wonder if this originally came with a pack of cards Jimmy? Looks as if you place a bet by putting your coin in the 'dished' areas adjacent to the (horses?) names. Set the small dial and spin the arrow and see what the odds are, ie: 25 (large dial) to 1 (small dial). Cards could be played to determ...

Reminds me of a display of brightly coloured Lil-Lets.

What a pity that there are (probably) no BMCo employees left to tell workers tales, or other well known makers employees such as Bryans, R & W etc. This of course is one of the problems of not documenting information early enough for future generations who may be interested in the hobby. It has,...

Could not agree more moonriver, well chosen words - many thanks Mr PM and forum moderators - have a good Christmas and new year.

I think the cows have been at it...........and the chickens, and the sheep and the mice
come on Jimmy, nice little winter project for you.

No, no, you have all got it wrong - nothing to do with HM Queenie ER stands for Eric Roberts an MI5 agent who infiltrated the ranks of British Nazi sympathisers during WW2, he was actually an MI5 field officer whose day job at Westminster Bank’s Euston Road branch was intended to mask his secret wor...

Absolutely fantastic job Toby, well done you should be very proud of yourself.

Hi robwizard and welcome to the font of all slot machine knowledge, full of members who have extraordinary knowledge and information about almost any machine. Unfortunately you have just missed the annual slot machine auction at Coventry on Sunday, and guess what, there was a Cadburys choc vender in...

................... and a few more.
Take a well earned rest J & J.

Echo all the above comments - many thanks Jerry & Jeremy. For those who did not attend here are some pics - images are a bit grainy as I was pushing my camera to the limits owing to the low lighting level (most shots are at very slow shutter speeds). _DSC3366.JPG _DSC3365.JPG _DSC3362.JPG _DSC33...

Interesting machine bryans fan, the machine appears to have the Wonders top to it but the door resembles that of the auto payout carousel BMCo door with the quite deep bottom rail, although the BMCo glass windows were not so tall as this machine's window. The silver sprayed interior you mention is r...

Thanks BP and Jerry for your on-going efforts again, looking forward to it

Ok raj, just don't tell Jerry - he might double the price of them !!

I really like these games and think they're sometimes rather overlooked. If I'd encountered them as a kid, I would have loved them I did see these as a lad and played them many times, seeing the half filled columns was like a magnet to me - I loved playing them !!THUMBSX2!! (Edited) Incidentally, t...
