Thread merged - Site Admin. Just bought this Watkins Billiard Chalk dispenser. It's a little tatty, but I have been after one for a while as collecting Billiard memorabilia is one of my pastimes. Hopefully attached some photos otherwise the following questions may be a lost cause. There is no key. ...

A couple of (possibly) interesting items at a local auction this Saturday. There is also a Wurlitzer Jukebox and a Pinball machine. Although they look like they have been stored in a barn for a few years. http://www.catalogue-host.co.uk/chippenham/2017-01-28/lot_207?prev_page=browse%20catalogue%2c%2...

Have a great Christmas everyone!

Im in the process of making two simple bandit stands,nothing fancy,cant show you yet as they are not finished,would you be interested in seeing a photo before I put them on Ebay? If so Ill add them to the market page. height 33" I would very much like to see your stands when they are finished....

I have been on the lookout for something to sit my Bandit on. I know we Humans come in all shapes, sizes and heights, but I was wondering if there is such a thing as a standard height?

Blimey! When I read the title, I expected it to be about my wife.

Well, after researching 'How to force a payout', I have discovered the problem.........my memory!! :woops: I remembered playing this bandit years ago and I thought the top light lit every now and again and paid out 10 coins if you had a DEVIL on the payline of the first reel, which would be difficul...

Photos for Coppinpr
These are the photos you requested, hope they are OK.

I had a similar problem with my hi-top. I took mech out of case and found the safety slide was preventing payment. This didn't happen when 5 coins were paid as the weight of 5 coins ensured they dropped. But with two coins they held up, sometimes dropping later. I filed open the aperture on the saf...

Hi all, After arriving home from Coventry armed with my Lucky Devil Bandit, Allwin Deluxe & bag of sixpences, I decided to have a few pulls. Anyway, it quickly became clear that there was a lack of Cherry payouts, both a single Cherry (2 coins) and two Cherries (5 coins). After a bit of searchin...

Well that was fun! Decided to bite the bullet and get along to my first auction (of this type) Even got what I wanted, one Bandit and one Allwin. Unfortunately, the Bandit isn't working properly, but I am sure I can get some help from the folk here. The biggest shame is having no Pennies to play the...

I'm treating my wife to a romantic dinner for Valentine's Day. !!IDEA!! Soft, slow cooked pasta. The finest petits pois. Finely diced, soft soya flakes. A beautiful chicken stock marinade. Finely seasoned with fresh basil and mixed herbs. Then I just tip in water to the fill line, add the soy sauce ...

Roses are red, but there are also pink, white and yellow varieties
Violets aren't blue, they're violet, hence the name
I've got OCD
And my poetry skills are also lacking.

5 for 2d, blimey that was a long time ago.
In fact, that was about the time when smoking was good for you.

I noticed whilst perusing the Elephant Auction for February 15th, a slightly disturbing description for a Sega Progressive Star One Arm bandit . Now my knowledge of Bandits is less than Diddly Squat, but surely this can't be right? original two-tone paintwork and good chrome, with kacpot and special...

I know they say "Smoking stunts your growth", but the signage looks a tad low.

I went along to have a look a the "Brooklands" Bandit today. With my zero knowledge of Bandits, I couldn't tell much from looking at it, but I did think the image is a bit misleading as there is a large piece of angle on the handle side. Perhaps it was put on as some sort of security devic...

There are two snooker related allwins I have seen Thanks Dave, after a bit of research I found a "Snooker (1963)" no pic yet. I couldn't find anything with the search at the Charterhouse auction site. The billiards machine is in the museum in the Dropcase section Wow! That's what I am tal...

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. I have been reading some posts and didn't realise that there were bandits out there that are hybrids, or one make of case and another make of 'guts'. Could I assume that the ones auctioned at the Elephant House are OK, as they appear to specialise in them? I can pro...
