Machine finds......
Just thought it would be interesting to hear about your finds over the years of collecting. I have been collecting Pinball's / Videos for several years lots of nice finds, but only started collecting old machines the last 3 years.
One of my best finds is an early circle skill. It had been stored in a garage for years. Good case and metal worked just needed a good clean down and a polish.
The owner had no idea of value and neither did I (before I started collecting) at the time I was there buying some 90's pinball machines and he said he wanted to clear everything .He wanted £100 I said no and offered £50.. Not knowing the value was more like £800…..
I just recently picked a 24 CUP large allwin in a dark case I will post some pics shortly. It had been in the cellar of a café with 3 other allwins the owner wanted to sell them all as a bulk sale.
There are still deals out there every now and again….
I find the hunting part as much fun as owning these wonderful machines.
