Re: Cam fruit machine
Yes, must be a later version of the Hellomat and, as you say, a conversion. Maybe the change vendor was added.

Re: John Taylors slot machine auction: 12/03/24
Yes, I understand the right hand glass was cracked as well I haven’t bothered with many of the recent auctions up north, but decided to take a chance and went up early today, leaving at 5am to get into Louth at 8.30… Their website said they opened at 9am, so hoped a quick glimpse before the auction ...

Re: The march of the woodworm
Not to worry, it's only blue asbestos !!ESCAPE!! To be honest I really thought it was some kind of asbestos and ran when sticking my hand through the side…… A large beetle larvae was living in it as well…Fortunately it was just wood dust. I don’t mind taking on projects like this and probably will ...

The march of the woodworm
With my endless list of projects of machines bought in a past era, I wonder if this was the worst woodworm attack I had had to deal with..... initially there was a small hole, but as I prodded the paint clouds if dust rose in the air......I could not tell what the material was as dud nit look like w...

Re: Ebay prices getting out of hand
In reality "reserves" are a waste of time. If the item isn't going to be sold under that price then start the auction at that price. If it doesn't sell, the result is the same. Isn’t that what a reserve is !PUZZLED! I now always use SENSIBLE reserves on machines, as I have been caught out...

Re: Peerless Pictures
Thanks for sharing. Funny, I cannot find a serial number on the castings mentioned on mine. The only place each of mine have them are the steel base the mechanism slides onto and the mechanism base plate, which all match: numbers 167, 173, 174 and 184, all from same arcade… I will look on the mechan...

Re: The Forum's yearly check up
Yes forgot about that thread and of course the site was set up towards British made machines, mode you, many of the manufacturers in there like J & M and Bergman of course are foreign….. I guess I have always assumed the site was geared towards British operated machines on UK coinage pre-decimal...

Re: Ebay prices getting out of hand
For me, where it's all happening is Facebook Marketplace and the Slot machine Groups. Although eBay has its issues, there is a level of protection for buyers and sellers, although the bias is towards buyers. The problem with Facebook is it's like the Wild West. You can easily create fake accounts a...

Re: The Forum's yearly check up
I remember talking to Mr PM a long time ago about the possibility of having a proper indexed database of machines and manufacturers, so as machines were added to the site they could be linked to this, including pictures. A serial number index would be an obvious addition to this. I remember there be...

Re: Ebay prices getting out of hand
Are these changes due to come, as currently it states 12.8% private and variable for business, but usually around 10%? If private, eBay regularly do free listing weekends. Currently they have free listings for two months. I wonder if the volume of sellers listing has dropped due to costs and the £10...

Re: Arcade Photographs
So machines links to pictures on this thread, not sure if the below has already been shown, but I love this, a station I used every day for nearly 37 years, Liverpool Street Station. I believe 1952… They even have bath facilities. A long row of vending machines…

Re: Sweetmeat & Nestlé's vendors
Just spotted this picture of Hammersmith Underground station 1933….
There is a slightly different machine on second pillar with what looks like a mirror in the middle
Similar machine, this time in Holborn station

Re: Rotating escalator Aristocrat Tic Tac Toe
I wouldn’t get stressed about top badge as so many got mixed up and people often post on here with Grosvenor machines with Nevada badges… At least it is in good condition as they're often cracked.

Re: Rotating escalator Aristocrat Tic Tac Toe
Three things, the white plastic has replaced the original black plastic that had awards on. The Fiesta belly plate would have been another theme originally and lastly the top badge should be Nevada. I suspect checking what are in the reels may help confirm if another theme like Tic Tac Toe or Goldst...
