Re: John Taylors slot machine auction: 12/03/24
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...

Re: Bryans "peep show" for sale on ebay
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...

Great arcade video
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...

Re: You be the Judge
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))when I have pointed things out to certain auctions houses, they often show little interest…

What a beauty
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...

Re: Picking locks
Buy a set of lock picks. You will find you often have need of them and these locks are easy to pick. Mills "snake" no way and a Sega "barrel" is supposed to be easy but I never could get the hang of it.

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