Nice restore job on the retreeva Gameswat. Here are a few pics of my restored retreeva, The guy who did it made a excellent job of it. shame it wasn't me!! All rechormed. Professional crackle paint. replaced the back flash. Oh.... and the serial number is 101 first one out Mr Bryans factory. Always ...

Thanks for the photo Gameswat. I never noticed the serial number in the tray, only the one on the lock panel.

My Retreeva is crackle finish and the bottom part is also crackle, except on the inside area, which is just the standard oak case colour.

Hi Gameswat,

Can you tell me where your serial number is on your Retreeva. Does it have a serial number on the case and the internals?

Any chance of a picture of the area were the number is located on the internals?

Or anybody else out there.......

Many Thanks

Wow nice machine never seen it before.

For me it would have to be a floor standing Caille.



Maybe oneday......

It is indeed mine. Well may not be for much longer. Hoping to trade for a Payramid.

Or I may pay cash and keep it.

Lots of machines today, good old free listing days.

The .0 on any Bryans serial number means it has been back to the factory, most likely for conversion from 1d to 1p.

Excellent, can anyone beat it.........

Nice machines, how long have you been collecting. Any exciting stories finding these machines in the wild?

Craig

Very nice find They look nice together as a set. Do you intend on keeping them or sell them on?

Just like buses. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... K:MEWAX:IT

It looks hidious. Was it really supposed to be bright orange!!

Another question. Does anyone have any sales catalogues for slot machines and there options?

Craig

Looks cool and it works on coins... Wonder if I can get it in the house without my girlfriend noticing....

Yeah, i would agree your are pretty much just buying the bottom casting. The mech looked totaly shot....

Who's going to take this on i wonder.

Needs a lot of work, But im sure it will make a nice one. Does anyone else on the forum have one? Are they more rare then the buckaroo?

I have had people tell me they have paid £650 for a machine off ebay with no locks on them, the mechanisms keep jamming up, 'not paying out as they should' and having to pay hundreds of pounds to get them fixed, not this machine.

People are wrong.... You could buy a far more desirable slot for £650!

Pics or it didn't happen.....

Why is the Market place on here not used much. I'm guilty myself SkEpTiCaL I have used the Bryans site to buy and sell with great succsess in the last few years. My excuse is i just forget its there. My New Year Resolution is next time i want to sell a game i will list it here first for a few weeks ...

Mmm... it's not their best work, I think it's the ugliest slot I have ever seen. Unless anyone else can beat it (not literally).
