John Hanson tried it but prior to his 2nd or 3rd auction someone (I have my suspicions) rung the auction venue saying that they were from the gaming board and if the auction took place the machines would be seized as he did not have a gaming license. The license being a ridiculous amount and the mag...

If memory serves me correctly on the governor i used to have I just had to open the coin aperture up in the top casting and every thing else was fine.

Thanks for that i've seen some at auctions with a steel back door with the yale lock fitted.
Cheers, Jim

I am in the process of restoring an early clock with the back door. Easy question really not having a back door, was it fitted with a yale lock (the type with the square bezel) or the lowe & fletcher type (locker lock) with the flat key?

"Some machines didn't even turn up" - nowt new there then.

Pennymachines is your man. Unfortunately I don't have his email address since my old computer went bang. Maybe the webmaster can help.

I had one myself for a short period of time but sold it on. The only thing I remember is that the one I had did not have a coin box underneath. I sold mine for £65. Yours looks tidier than mine.

Anyone care to comment?

My basic knowledge of slots tells me that Shefras made replacement parts and that the shefras escalator I had in a copper sega was a two play for one shilling .The coin would be retained until the second pull of the handle where the coin would run and fall into the coin tube. The only Mad money mach...

Hi, I spoke to a Bryans collector at an auction, a few years ago now. He told me he had one of these. This is the first one I have seen. There is nothing metioned on Melvyn Wright's Bryans site about this style of clock. The paper clock dial looks good. The bar symbol looks like Bryans version of th...

Groooooooooooovvvvvyyyyyyyy baby lets hope he going to do auctions as well.

I too thought John Hanson's mag was a gud un. I attended his auctions which were quite good and not too far for me. But he had someone throw a spanner in the works by ringing the hotel they were held at the day before stating that because he did not have a gaming board license, if the auction went a...

AAM topic merged - Site Admin I check Steve's web site on a regular basis as its still on my favourites been on tonight and it looks like the site has shut down. I can't say I'm surprised Steve is probably pi**ed off with the emails he's getting regards overpaid subscription fees. I think if there ...

Latest buy is a 777 Mills Hi top. Nice un molested condition just requires new reel strips ,a bit of a tweak as the payouts are miles out and a lick of paint. A nice feature is the original casino name plate "Lucky Strike Club".
