I think this was a Roger Gillman creation, Circa 1990.

Yes, I think vibration simulated shocking is the way to go. Anything which might disrupt a pacemaker is not to be recommended!

I'd say it was for the 12 Win - with a win on all 12 numbers indicated, but the payout scheme seems unusual - doesn't 8 usually pay 8D? Perhaps this is adjustable on some Clocks. The flower decoration echoes the pattern around the Clock instructions.

Sorry, Nursey has her hands full at the moment. Could we have it more prominent or perhaps as I've seen on other forums a separate window opens as you log on to tell you that you have new messages. That's how it works here too - a small pop-up window should appear soon as you log on. It's working at...

My thoughts exactly. The Grabber said of the Buckley Digger, "$42,000 dollars is a lot of money", but dollars just ain't that rare any more. The Federal Reserve is just creating another trillion to Ship to “Crisis-Wracked” Euro Zone.

In the 90s, a collector obtained some surplus Rippler parts and castings from the Bryans factory and set about making a small run of reproduction machines.
