We've had a rough go for about a year; we lost our son. As you might well imagine, recovery takes a lot of time. I'm beginning to get back to what is the new normal. Rejoining all of you is an important part of that process. You'll be seeing more of me again. I look forward to it John, my deepest s...

Our intrepid Stuart does it again! I wonder if the family still have the negatives???? Probably not. My brother was a professional photographer until he died in 2005, there were so many negatives in storage (1000s) that sadly, lack of space dictated they were destroyed. However, it is a long shot an...

Hi Terry, great photo and I hope someone will be able to shed more light on it. Interesting that all the allwins have a top flash/pediment so maybe the date is not quite into the 1960s yet. Don't usually associate top flashes with these sort of machines. Also, on the Shefras stand next door you can ...

Perhaps you had better stay off the home brew Stuart!

Sorry about all this off-topic stuff Giles, but it helps us all get through the day

I see your drawings of a cyclops with a nasty front tooth are getting better Stuart.

......so nearly half of the sale value goes to the auction house

This makes the Coventry auction commissions a bargain !

It's now £1850 on 30 bids with 2 hours to go!

Very interesting Mr BP, especially the internals!

Worth a look for those who haven't yet clicked the 'tilt' doo dah thingy.

And so after a number of frustrating I.T. days over the Christmas period I finally get back on line ......Happy New Year to one and all

Lot 82, the French Majestic, is now on ebay starting at £750.

Look at the inside pic, what the hell is that mech all about ????

I have the answer: if you are left handed, go round the back of the machine and push with your left hand !

Happened to notice on TV last night that a programme is being screened this Thursday 17th, on Channel 5 at 8.30pm called Fairground Attractions. It is a series taking a behind-the-scenes look at 3 families who have a long history of fairground business and operate travelling fairs and shows. Carters...

Pass Go and keep straight on to Coventry Bandito. You can see, touch and fully inspect the lots at this auction knowing full well you will not be ripped off.

And all this cr*p makes the Coventry auctions a worthwhile visit; you can look, touch, try and make up your own mind without any dodgy photos or misleading descriptions.

Long may it last.

Excellent job Stuart, well done.
Has anyone noticed that the characters eyes and nose is represented by 1, 2 and x, which obviously draws reference to the entries 1,2 and x, on the pools coupon - very subtle.

Interesting.......... the trigger and adjacent plate and also the coin return are all identical to those used on the BMCo machines, I wonder if there is any significance, could this be BMCo?

Hi Ambey and welcome to the Forum and the holy grail of all coin-op knowledge, not me I hasten to add but there are members here whose experience in many different forms of machine is second to none.

Look forward to you posting pics of the refurbished machine.

Interesting item Coppinpr - do you always leave your door open between 7.00 and 10.00pm

How did you photograph the face without getting your reflection in the glass, is this via photoshop or similar, or a 100000000000mm lens
