merry xmas to all
best wishes for the new year
hope you find lots of nice machines next year ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Hi
Clive Baker is now on Facebook with his arcade. If you look under National Museum of Penny Slot Machines you will see pictures of his arcade at Goodwood Revival.

I was in Cork, Ireland about 5 years ago. I was trying to buy some machines from a fairground man and he was trying to give me four of these for free. They were massive. I did not take them and got no machines from him. The day was a total loss.

The payout cup is the same as Brenco machines.

I went to a few auctions there. I found them OK but no bargains. They were run by a man who also owns House on the Hill toy museum at Stansted Mountfitchet. I'm not sure why they finished but I think it would have been about 1998 or 1999 the last one I went to.

has anyone been to the auction today
are any results known ?

nice machine i have one of those as well
if you need any spare parts
look on the web for crow river amusements
they sell the gun ,the duck casting and also the buffolo casting for the other machine
and they transfer with the information on it
and new clear plastic cover for the play field

The prices at yesterday's sale were up and down all day.
I think this was because collectors were only chasing the machines they didn't have.
When the Bryans machines were being sold you could have heard a pin drop. Everyone was waiting to see what prices they made.

any idea of the maker
i've never seen one not even in books

If you look in your local Yellow Pages or do a web search you will find automotive paint shops thats will make you a can of spray. I have used one in Romford, Essex and the blue colour for the mechanism was right. They have paper swatches and match the colour of your metal part.
Hope this helps.

On my machine it has 3mm glass but it seems a bit thin.

Hi
The half sheet of glass is 424mm x 293mm.

Hi,
The locks on my machine are numbered the same also.
I have taken some picture of the glass on my Challenger and will post them soon. The two small pins are needed to hold the half sheet of glass in place.

MERRY XMAS TO ALL.
HOPE YOU FIND LOTS OF MACHINES IN THE YEAR AHEAD.
BEST WISHES, THE GRABBER.

Hi, I won the Farmyard Shooter. Not a bad machine, it has original parts in a new wooden case. The cast metal feet have bolts in them so you can adjust them on an uneven floor. This makes the case seem taller than a Pussy Shooter. At the moment the machine is painted a light blue colour. Does anyone...

Hi,
I've seen the payout slides and reel strips for sale in the Market on this website and also on ebay.

Has anyone got the prices the machines made please.

did it sell
and if it did
how much did it make ?

if you look on youtube
there is information on how to pick locks
if you can do it you dont have to damage your machine

Hi everyone, I have been friends with Jim Roller of Brownwood, Texas for a few years now. We both like arcade cranes very much. We contact each other by email or telephone. About five years ago Jim asked me to go to Belgium and buy these French crane machines from an arcade. As I remember, the corne...
