There is another Mills cheating bandit - a small number of Horsehead Bonus machines had a similar layout to the Futurity making it hard to hit a bonus letter.

Here are some pics of the rifle. I have a film somewhere - there were 12 different images on it but no adverts.

I used to own one of these - the film with it had cartoon characters on it. I have a picture of the rifle somewhere.

I have had a couple of these - I agree they are ex French machines used in the UK. The stars on the playfield are placed on top of the original French paperwork. Never seen one on shock though.

add some more balls into the playfield and see what happens

There are 4 more rare bryans allwins just appeared on there, with a different seller. Are these the same ones or fresh uns?
