you "picked it up" you must have a strong back, thats all I can say

Have I ever warned you about disagreeing with me? No you never have...but that's not what I said is it, unless you consider yourself the only Guru :cool: a level of journalistic diligence I wouldn't seek or expect perhaps we should,as it is reflected in all journalism today, dont you agree please d...

what I was saying was the BBC never does any of their own research, you of all people must know that no one believes auctioneer's estimates are ever correct, even the auction house knows that, they are set low to make potential buyers think they are going to get a bargain, the BBC just read the esti...

nine hundred sovs,

that should be "sobs" BP , although thought to be a mispronunciation of sovereigns originally,the cockney term for pound notes was "sobs" not "sovs" you northerners couldn't be expected to know that

I agree with Tom, this machine never made any sense, and arcade operators were never known for their dedication to maintenance. (once a year during the winter, pull out all the mechs, oil them and put them back in the first case you came to ). At the very least this machine was high maintenance. The...

I ask on the forum

I saw this while looking fo something else and thought it might be of interest on the forum. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/265475289876?chn=ps&_ul=GB&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-134428-41853-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=265475289876&targetid=1404954646761&device=c&...

I was going to add this directly to the main section reserved for videos but I thought it was so good and clear it deserved to be on here first (I'm sure it will be correctly moved on after a short time in the mainstream, if it's not already there). The video shows an exhibition of new machines at t...

Thank you, in that case I'm glad I made the above post, or are you trying to make out your original post was an attempt to encourage others, oh please!!

thank you all very much, nice to search out this machine, I suspected the patent numbers were for the coin mech but thought it might link to the machine,but it seems not.well done Slotalot working on Slotalots good work I found this interesting article in Billboard (it includes the machines patent n...

when I have pointed things out to certain auctions houses, they often show little interest…

That doesn't surprise me, most of the crooks I've seen at auctions (both slot and otherwise were running the thing (Coventry excepted of course,which one reason we miss it so much))

I now have these US patent numbers from the above machine, is it possible to id the machine from these?

still fishing Roger?
same old bait, 2 bites this time

and your point is ?

I would have confronted the dealer, and reported the action.

24st or 152Kg, no wonder they are not in use in the USA any more

I was delivering some of the sauna equipment I sell to a new Gym being built near me in Newhaven the other day, when I pushed open the door I was immediately confronted by this beauty (please excuse the glare from the gym sign on the photo). The Gym owner rents this from a company offering these and...

How odd, play-table wise it's the same machine AND, it too has a lot more wear on the right-hand side.

hello again, and welcome, Im pleased you came over and checked us out
