Re: Are Bryans machines over rated??
I suppose it's funny how we all like different machines. I have always found machines like the Bryans Allsports, the Payramid and Double Decker, to name just three, as somewhat boring... even in the old arcade days I did. Whereas.. the Watling Rol a Top bandits, I loved them when I was a young boy. ...

Re: Are Bryans machines over rated??
Yes, you are right about the Bryan's inventiveness! Also I have thought since writing I should have included the Bryans Clock and Fruit Bowl in the ones that I do really like. As for price, I am not convinced that they will always keep some of the very high amounts that they change hands for at the ...

Are Bryans machines overrated??
Bryan's machines are they overrated in price? Does anyone else think like me over the years that Bryans machines, although liked like other vintage amusement machines, are seen by some as a Rolls Royce in the vintage slots world and fetch really high prices. Here is my reasoning behind what I have f...

Re: Oliver Whales allwin with '9 Results' flash
Well the party has now come and gone and it is a memory... The children seemed to enjoy the machines! Interesting looking back, I think these old machines are best enjoyed how they were meant, ie not on the floor, but fastened on a wall at a convenient height! I realize looking back that I spent too...

Re: Oliver Whales allwin with '9 Results' flash
We took a couple of machines to one of their birthday parties two years ago and one of the young lads coming again to this one has asked if they could definitely have penny machines there again because he enjoyed them so much! Last time it was a Rotolite and a Clement and Whales Greyhound Stadium.. ...

Re: Oliver Whales allwin with '9 Results' flash
Hi badpenny nice to hear from you again! Yes I am well pleased and agree it does give you a good feeling as you look at what the machine is now. I have already cut the back out of spare plywood from my shed. Also I have done two smaller pieces as we are taking them to a birthday party in about a wee...

Re: Oliver Whales allwin with '9 Results' flash
Thank you for all your comments. It's come back to life again today, taking the old pennies and delivering the ball and was even paying out 2 coins for a win. Earlier today I had to straighten out a rather bent payout slide in my vice, and then found the bar linkage to it needed straightening. Seems...

Re: Oliver Whales allwin with '9 Results' flash
No win hole under the blackflash coppinpr, the door and inner workings seem to have been a 1930s type machine. It has the clicking win knob but some bits now missing. Possibly an Oliver Whales conversion or some owner has done it. I will show internal parts at a later day. I am not worried about it ...

Re: Oliver Whales allwin with '9 Results' flash
The Evapo-rust ordered off ebay never came as the company ran out and refunded my money... Will have to try its merits in the new year now as I have used white vinegar and baking soda and left itbon in 30 min runs till I rinse off with warm water and an old toothbrush and cloths. Results quite good ...

Re: Oliver Whales 9 Results allwin identified
Second coat of clear yacht varnish gone on case and door after sanding has its first coat on... looking good I think! A busy time of year so will take a break for a number of days before cleaning up the dirty chrome and tackling the rusty insides. They have had a light brass wire bushing a number of...

Re: Cartoon characters on Oliver Whales allwin
Thank you for replies, especially from coppinpr with pictures and notes. You always have some good advice and knowledge on vintage amusement machines. I think you have found the backflash. Seems like it's 9 Results in the centre and top surround off a Win a Gift! Don't know how it got on a 5 win 2 l...

Re: Cartoon characters on Oliver Whales allwin

Re: Cartoon characters on Oliver Whales allwin
Did a little more sand papering then wiped all dust off with a clean cloth that had been dampened with white spirits. First coat of clear yacht varnish has now gone on (that's been weakened down by mixing some white spirits with it). I am keeping the heating on in the house so it dries with a nice f...

Re: Unusual cartoon characters on new allwin
Already spent an hour with the sandpaper... will do another hour a different day before varnishing. I personally find hand sanding best as I used to use paint stripper years ago with a bad finished effect... Often on washing off the paint stripper from the wood with water it left stained patches in ...

Re: Rare tokens/coins found in 1930s Roman Head bandit case window. What are they?
With putting the tokens on site I did it under Questions and Answers... perhaps someone knows what they are. All up to now have been guesses I suppose. I go on forums when I have a problem with vehicles and work on what people often know what the problem is... ie I wouldn't accept always what advice...
