Re: Bradshaw's Little Stockbroker

This article has a section on Bradshaw in relation to Toroidal engines. Admittedly outside the scope of amusement machines, but interesting non the less.

Looks like a Myers Road Test
Case is different; though could have been re-cased.

It was removed to allow an extra section of footage to be incorporated. So, now back on line with an extra 3 minutes added at the end.

Re: Oliver Whales floor-standing & counter-top 3D stereoviewers

Yes, definitely the same model. Interesting to see another example as I had wondered if it was a 'one off' due to the fact that a number of the table models have turned up, yet no other floor standing machines. Just a shame that after ten years of waiting the one which has surfaced does not have a t...

Pat Gresham

Sadly, adding to the recent news regarding the passing of several other well known figures in the slot machine community, I have only just heard the Pat Gresham passed away on 31 October this year. Many will know of Pat as the wife of the late Jon Gresham, but to those that knew her that certainly d...

Re: Compton’s star soccer

Thanks for both replies. I’ve assumed the figures were glued onto bespoke triangular bases ( so the figures could be either bespoke or off the shelf). These figures seem to have been used on all examples of this machine that I’ve seen. Strangely, on my machine one team is in tact whilst the other ha...

Crompton’s Star Soccer

Does anyone know if the football figures in Crompton’s Star Soccer were bespoke or off the shelf. If the latter, what exactly are they? Thanks.

Re: Henry Powell

I did have a brief chat with Henry. Obviously, there’s two sides to every story and ultimately, there’s a point where it’s best to let things drop and just move on. It does seem that the tale is a little more involved in that a price was given and there was a ‘what’s your best price question’. Also,...

Re: Henry Powell

I spoke with Henry this afternoon. He recently had an accident, and whilst on the road to recovery and working, he's behind on some of his workload and trying to catch up. So, hopefully you'll hear from him sooner than later, but I guess things have to take their place in the queue. Personally, I've...

Re: Job lot at auction

Coin-op, I remember you and I discussed this machine when you first acquired it - didn't one of us suggest Myers, or am I thinking of something else? Whilst looking for coin mech pics for T, I came across a pic of a Road Test machine. This is what think we must have talked about and I pointed out t...

I vaguely remember a conversation, but that’s about it. Not sure if we just floated a few names as I can’t figure now why Myers proved a candidate.
