What a cracking game! Never seen one working before, so thank you for posting that clip. I think that would be quite addictive.

I had a Bally. It was a lovely machine, working perfectly off the full copper 2np coin. For years I tried to get my eldest son to take ownership of it (he is in his thirties now and had been playing that machine for some 25 years). Finally, having bought his first house, he said 'yes'. Into the Land...

£5 per year? I would pay more than that just to read the BP missives! And, occasionally, I read a post that is absolutely spot on and I wish there was a means to simply tick a box saying 'I agree!'. Mr Peterson's thread earlier in this post is an excellent example. Well said, Sir! Now, please explai...

You would be well advised to do your own research before committing to importing any machines. Shipping firms might be a good place to look for guidance.

I thought "how hard can this be?" Wow, what a minefield. Don't take this as gospel, but this was the closest I could find. (Remember that 20% VAT is added to the sum of what you paid for the machine, plus shipping, plus duty (if any) and there is probably also going to be a handling fee ch...

I gave up on buying bandits after the tenth one so, whilst I plan to someday (perhaps) move on four of them there is one that I will always keep: a Sega Continental. Now I know you (Mr Coppin) are already thinking "that is because you cannot lift the bloody thing" but it really is my favou...

I guess that is the difference between an auction house that accepts internet bids and one that does not.

I'm currently going through a downsizing phase. At first I thought the above was part of the sentence above it about big knobs. then I realized your talking about machines,so we can expect some of your machines for sale at www.penny-machines.info ? Hey, Paul, you getting your websites confused?

£2 coin. Did you know the Royal Mint still makes a small number of thruppences? Something to do with them being needed as part of Maundy Money sets. Once we get through this Brexit business, maybe we can have a referendum on returning to a currency based on £-s-d? That will challenge the digital gen...

I like a bit of "captive coupling" on the right day !OMFG! :cool: Is that not just another name for 'marriage'? By the way, I have absolutely no knowledge of the electrickery stuff, so am unable to provide constructive comment. My apologies to radiochrissie. I hope you find the part you n...

No! It could not be that simple, but I will laugh my 'thruppenny bits' off if this turns out to be the case.

I think mine had a play counter and this was the window through which to read it.

Now if you had a rare earth magnet (every workshop should have one, will cost you about £10 for a good one or salvage one from an old micro wave) fixed to a handle and moved around like a metal detector over the whole area it will find every pin,screw, nut, bolt bolt and metal filing you ever lost ...

I wasn't recommending it, Paul. Merely confirming that these things are out there and offering it as an example of one such product. At the other end of the scale, there is also a product costing less than £8. It is highly rated in the reviews, but looks a bit flimsy....

I would love to get hold of a template for testing screw sizes and types, the amount of times I have bought expensive bags of the damn things only to find the wrong size They are out there Treefrog. For example: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bolt-Thread-Fastener-Gauge-Line/dp/B01NCANLCK/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_3...

Yeah! I think you should all boycott EH. Then I can sneak in and.....

Not really, but you know people will go where the machines take them. Particularly if they scent a bargain!

I agree with Widget, I'd have bid more if I had his sandblaster. I'm trying to set up a baking soda blaster but I don't have anywhere that can handle the mess. :#: Good call, Paul. The one and only time I used my soda blaster was when sprucing up my Novomat (I started on this with a view to learnin...

or would it!! found this photo of this unusual Watling "Vibratory doctor",hes a "big boy" thats for sure but I wouldn't want to be seen shaking his third hand, still the front card says "no electricity" and "try it,it is pleasant" 'Allowed today', Paul? They ...

......Yet again no mention in the report of the impact of the change in the law in 2007 allowing the bookmakers a spectacular advantage over amusement arcades..... Was a fiscal link between the betting industry and the Labour Party ever established? Hard to believe anyone could consider such a one-...

I live within sight of the IoW and even have my own boat to get there. Forgot completely about this auction! Having read some of the feedback, though, I am quite pleased I did as the two machines I would have been interested in sound like they were duds.
