Re: Vintage Slots in Films and Newsreels
no help on the machines but I will comment on the rhyming of "Lydia" with "EncylopIDDIA", now that is art worthy of praise, not entirely unrelated to your perceived or actual mental state I offer the following which for me is perhaps the greatest pun ever produced https://www.you...

Re: Aristocrat Clickerty Click machine
I think "Aristocrat" in this instance is a red herring and is the name of an equipment distribution company in Cockermouth.

Re: Huge Book Collection for sale
I had seen the identical ad on Gumtree by Scottie but being old enough and wise enough not to go into print before checking my memory I had another look and noticed the accompanying map showing the advertiser's location was Buckingham Palace. My sixpence is on Scottie actually being a Corgi.

Welcome Bedbug, an American friend of mine used the expression "crazier than a bedbug", I hope it's not you. Anyway, don't be thrown by the Greaves Amusements name, they will just be the suppliers, operator, etc; your machine is actually manufactured by Bally and is just one of myriad vari...

Re: Take your shoes and socks off and try again.
The EBay seller is offering 50 x pennies for £7.99 or 100 @ £20.00. It's a new kind of reverse discounting policy started by some supermarkets I think.

Re: Cake vending Vintage Slot
Brilliant on so many levels!
Filmed entirely on location in Paul Coppin's workshop and a special appearance from Badpenny with a screwdriver and large hammer.
Now over to the rest of you to decide which real machine it resembles the most.

another but more specific ruse I have enjoyed success with is where I have Beromat, Duomat, Rotamat, Rotamints etc I list them under circus/fairground collectibles and have the words "coin-operated german arcade wall machine" in the title. Not as many hits as "slot machine stand"...

Re: retro 1950's slot machine stand on ebay
My question is as you're not auctioning you clearly have prices in mind to tell collectors when they contact you. So, why don't you put them on The Market on this site? I have cleared out between 30 and 40 machines over the last 12 months or so and although some have been purchased by forum members...

Psst.... It's mine and has been on there about 6 months with various machines stood on top of it or next to it....and guess what..........most of them are sold, nudge nudge, wink wink, My top tip is find any old piece of sh*t that you can describe as a stand and you will receive questions about what...

Re: Rotomat Dualo
What it means is if you insert 1DM you will get one game and 9 x 10PF coins change.
Similarly if you insert 50PF you will get one game and 4 x 10PF coins change.

Re: Rotomat Dualo
Figure out which direction the overflowing coins slide from the top of the tube and make a box to catch them in, put empty food tub in the back section of the cabinet for quick fix or get ready to get on your knees when you open the machine up. Or post a picture of the tube area and the engineering ...

Re: Why our hobby should carry a health warning!!
Tokens are same size as modern 10p pieces but the machines are fussy - some are accepted, some aren't. that could be due to the dates of the coins you are using - anything post 2012 might get rejected due to change in composition - I had a Jubilee Riviera recently that was sold as not working, the ...

Hi Mike, I just sold my Dualo but they are an interesting machine, lots of fun to play. it would originally have been on 10 pfennigs and our 20 pence coin works well as a substitute.
