Re: Victorian wall hanging circus astrology game machine

I did leave a mid 500 bid on this, so it wouldn't have been that cheap if you hadn't bid. Funny thing was I left much more on it first time around. !PUZZLED!

Re: OK, let's talk RARE one arm bandits....

The two you have pictured are not particularly rare. It was the Victoria C (I think it's a C) with escalator I thought was rare. The escalator is quite different to the normal chain driven affair.

Re: OK, let's talk RARE one arm bandits....

I own that machine. Unfortunately someone had started to strip it. I left it for years as I liked it as it was. Then had room for it in the arcade so did strip the rest of the paint off. Then had a new reward card made. Obviously I left the original strips on as they are amazing tinplate strips date...

Re: Edgerton Double Loop identified

Hi Daveslot. Did you source some composite balls or are using chrome/stainless steel? If the former could you let know where from? Also could you possibly upload a picture of the mechanism? Be great to see full picture of your machine. I had a few vintage composite balls in stock. There's 2 picture...

Re: Edgerton Double Loop identified

Thanks for that, had a chance to look at mine and it can hold 3 balls in reserve and has another to play the game. I presume only 1 ball is delivered for 1d. Also it would not play with 9/16"balls, the reserve needed larger balls to fill the space, so I used 5/8" and now it works fine.

Oh! Jentzsch & Meerz, I was thinking that it was Schwarz as it's got a badge featuring an acorn and leaves, like on the Schwarz top casting.

Re: Novelty Merchantman Crane

I have no idea where it came from. But I've cleared lots of arcades in the past and it was amongst that lot.
