That's awful news, also I'm sorry that 8 of our members viewed your post and ignored it. And I was one of those 8 but certainly did not ignore it.

Stuart, if you had a drum I would hear it all the way down here in Wiltshire - well done that man

This Timothy Whites logo would not have looked out of place on a 1930s/40s wall machine, in fact I may have the answer to the mystery manufacturer, its Timothy Whites!

I remember Timothy Whites, "something for the week end Sir" strange how those phrases stay with you, although five decades on it begins to take on a different meaning

John, do we forthwith refer to you as 'Lieutenant Commander Peterson, Retired'

The game in question, "FlashWin" currently resides in a storage facility not too far from my home. In the next few days, I will comply with your request Thank you John, it will be interesting to see the 'internals' of this machine. For now, it's time to chase the turkey around the propert...

I have found it easiest just to stack them outside next to the garage I assume that these are your machines John and if this assumption is correct I see you have one of the 'Mystery' machines (forth back top row, just behind the Wonders 24 cup). Any chance of photographing the mechanism and posting...

Here are some pics of the mechanisms from three of these mystery manufacturers, the first is from 'The Allwin' the second is Win a Polo and the third is Win a Gum. note the internal ball runways are the same and all covered in clear plastic sheet, as per Oli Whales, but more importantly each runway ...

Quite right Mr PM, we don't want this to go off track or spiral out of control, to coin a phrase. I think people are just playing to the gallery.

Markymark that was just fantastic and tremendously well presented - brilliant

Well done Stuart for setting the Facebook page up, It may take a while but, who knows, we may get there in the end.

I'll call my daughter straight away, she is an optician........

Hi Giles, saw this on ebay a while ago, never seen a gallery so off-centre before, looks a typical Whales with the big pointing arrow on backflash 'shoot ball into any tube......'
There are some backflash artworks in 'Resources' but I have not seen one of these.

I see this has appeared on ebay again, same one as before in I.O.Man, asking £2995

.............and I know which side my bread is buttered BP so I shall have to wait another year, pity as I was going to enter my nice clown catcher in the auction, oh well I guess that can also wait.
