I've got to really like my 1965 continental MK10, it's playing beautifully now I'm on sixpences
Indeed, I'm so taken with it I'm on the hunt for a Grand Prix version...

Going from a hernia to a double hernia then........

See nice big Wonders One Fruit listed here. Not an often seen machine?

Was interested in Sahara Hitop but don't think red lightups original....?

Or may just be my failing eyesight!

Shame that they are too far away from me.

Welcome to the forum Lorne!

Unfortunately I'm not a collector of such machines or woodworking experienced. however, I'm sure others more appropriately experienced in these areas will be along shortly to assist you. Pictures of what you have maybe of assistance to them? You can post images here.

I know the Jennings Eldorado 3 Blue Star Chief and Jennings 5 jackpots Star Chief had 3 cherry payouts and these were around in late '50s. I'm sure they featured 3 cherry payout on other models then too. Here's a picture of a 1 dollar Sands Casino 5 Jackpot Star Chief light up with a cherry on the 3...

Don't think I have seen an original Jennings produced award card featuring Wild Indian payouts. Be nice to see an image of one if anyone has one...........?

The Wild Indian symbol on the first reel should substitute for other symbols to complete a winline. Wild Indian-Orange-Orange would pay 11 the same as 3 oranges. Wild Indian-Plum-Plum would pay 13 the same as 3 plums etc. I think your award card is incorrect as the reel bundle looks to pay 3 cherrie...

I was struggling a little but that retired sheriff living on the private road....

Well its not a mystery but it is a mystery machine

A gorgeous model

Few machines.

Pussy Shooter and few others

Not often seen these.
Looks almost like an accompanying partner to the Jubilee International range.

Out of 200 coins played: e.g. 50 per each coin entry (×4) the machine provided 4 wins each, accompanied by buzzer.

No manufacturer or supplier details inside the machine.

If you look at picture 1, the coin detecting lever is elongated and points over the top of the second reel. I think this originally would have been parallel to the first section. In this shape, when you come to play the second pull, the section that you have bent parallel to the first will be behind...

Don't think I've seen this one before. Artwork looks to be in good condition too.

Up for auction shortly @ Bentleys

I thought decimal coinage was a no no, especially with 2 New Pence splattered all over the artwork Brigham?!?

It's local to me but I think I'll pass on it. Too much ugly dark Formica for me. Shame it was never branded up like some of the brewery bandits of the time. Must not have been a great success, otherwise would have seen more images knocking about, or machines. Nice full pint of Double Diamond on the ...

I'm not sure your £1.70 price of a pint is correct..

Surely that's more like the price of a bottle of whisky?

I would have thought at 2 new pence a go, it must have given a win around 1 in 10/15 to make money and still make punters play the machine. Could have been higher if it relied upon taking its money in the last hour if punters already tanked up by then... I'm sure landlord or club steward wasn't givi...

Wish every issue raised was as easily resolved as this...!
