Re: Oliver Whales Allwin

The seller says, "A kind ebay member has just advised me that there are only a couple of these machines in existence."

Is this true? It's in lovely condition and makes my mouth water !!YIPPEE!! , but I agree it's way over the top on price.

Bryans 110.0

There's a Bryans Clock on ebay with a strange serial number, 110.0
Why the .0? !PUZZLED!

There's also an interesting story in the description about the conversion and case. Why would they spray it that colour?

Re: Vintage Slots in Films and Newsreels

Aren't the locks on the Bryans machines meant to be at the side on the left? On the ones in that clip they're at the top like I've seen on some early WorlBorl's. Were these just early allwins made by Bryans that didn't have locks at the side that later became the norm? They don't appear to have hing...

This is a strange one !PUZZLED!

What are your thoughts? Do you think it adds value or decreases the value?

I'd personally prefer the whole Fours-Square dirtdog

Re: Chrome??? Sprays... Any Good?

Hi Mark, Having only used a chrome spray a couple of times, they are OK, but proper chrome looks a million times better!!! The spray is a bit dull compared to chrome but not bad for smaller parts. Hope this helps :!?!: P.S. Let's hope they come up with a decent chrome spray sooner than 10 years !!ID...

Never seen anything like this before, not sure I like it.

Half old mechanical style, half horrible Formica style

Re: old pictures of odd slot machines

Think it may be a Jennings Export Chief.
Can just see the name in the top window of the machine as well.

The one in your picture has something covering the jackpot window, probably so they didn't have to worry about the jackpot jamming/refilling etc etc...

Re: Aristocrat Arcadian

Nice machine, congrats on your purchase

A couple of pics of a similar looking machine for you. It's red but I think they also came in blue.

Let us know how the restoration goes! Good Luck :D
