Great article, thanks for posting.

I have waded through the Hansard reference to the Gaming Bill a number of times before but it is a debate rather than the bill itself which can be seen at 'Gaming act 1968 Legislation.gov.uk chapter 65 part 3 section 26 with relevance to slot machines. Some time ago I gave up looking for the 1960 ac...

Thank you for the reply Mr PM. As BMCo didn't survive www2 and their allwins were made mostly in the 1930s perhaps the facility for a free ball after a win was there in anticipation of a relaxing of the law. Or as you suggest, a 'suck and see' attitude of the operator and gauge which way gives us th...

Hi Luc and welcome to the site. There is also a good video on Youtube posted by 'slot machines' called 'Ruffler and Walker allwin Fill Em Up slot machine'. This is the same as your machine except the artwork. It gives a detailed description of the workings.

YOU told the story well.

Nice one dicky.

A rather nice floor standing strength tester on The repair shop BBC one 13/14 today. Paperwork dial shows A. Rowland and son and Improved strength test company, Cannon street on the cast iron body. Should become available on i player.

Looking forward to it.

I ordered some springs from Mr Slot last year and despite taking three weeks from dispatch going to various places in USA then Japan they arrived safely. Sounds like I was lucky.

Well done Dicky. Good luck with the project.

Yes it can be viewed by going to toy special 9.10.2020 series 56

Bargain Hunt toy special broadcast today on BBC1 shows Darren Hesketh's museum at about twelve minutes from the start and lasts about five minutes. Should be on BBC i player in due course.

Oliver Whales 'Playball' circa 1956. Try inputting the word playball in the search box [ near the log in box], there is much information there particularly by 'pennymachines' on June 13th 2013 including a link to a nice example by forum member 'terry'.

I have placed an advert in the 'wanted' section of the market for Samson numbered reel strips. Thanks.
