Vertical? It's vertical in my browser

Unfortunately, my 15 year old is perpetually skint, so a pile of 20p pieces is required beside the machine

Just thinking maybe the next sweet will be peanut M&Ms...

Well, got one... The missus is even happy to have it IN THE HOUSE!!

OK, slightly confused why you're not selling any more, though?

OK, thanks for the info... I'd been looking at the Beaver brand machines, as they seem to have a decent reputation for quality build. I'd be vending either gumballs or something like M&Ms, Skittles etc. So if I can find a Beaver brand gumball machine in a similar shape to the one above, i'd be h...

I know this probably isn't a thing for this forum but i'm looking for a vintage 'look' gumball/candy dispenser.
Apart from the usual ebay/Amazon route, does anyone know a decent retailer for good quality machines?

Plenty in the US but shipping is prohibitive.

Love the yellow and black - really stands out.

What was the quote?
I noticed on Henry Powell's site, they do a 'swap' for £35.

Aah, so it's really just a strategically-placed weight?

Presumably if placed under a BAR symbol, so it ended up closer to the underside?

Any chance you could explain how that works (for us noobies).

A Sega and Duchess on ebay already... Same ones?

Looks great - wish I had those sorts of bits lying around

What paint do you use?

Good evening humperdingle, i was reading you contacted henry powell. I tried also a few times, but whitout succes. I tried several mails, phonenumbers on his site (left messages on the answering machine) and even a message via e bay. But all whitout succes. I need some parts for my machines and wan...

So i'm on the hunt for a second mechanical slot... Was thinking a Mini-Maxi as I have fond memories chucking loads of 2p coins into them whilst on holiday in Northern Ireland (Barry's amusements). Contacted Henry Powell, where I bought my first machine, for an example with excellent chrome and - whi...

Received a lovely new hardback copy of "Lemons, cherries and bell-fruit-gum", all the way from the USA. Very nice book with lots of content and excellent photos / old adverts, flyers, etc.

This one will keep me busy for a while

Magic - always a shame when something like this has to close.

Hopefully they can get it up and running soon

I noticed one identical to this machine went on fleabay last night... Good nick, too, but looks to have been removed

I'm going here later this year:

Milestones Museum, Basingstoke. Looking on Youtube, their penny arcade looks decent.

Daft question... But have the reel strips been replaced over time?

And are the strips matching all the payout slot cutouts?

Take lots of photos from all angles so you can see where things were originally.

I just bought my 1st machine recently but have had lots of help and advice from the members - Hope you get to the bottom of the issues.
