Free Steeple Chase

[scottie]

Hi JC,
The side of the case is cracked in half, so I was thinking maybe I could glue it back together. I was just checking the original picture and then went down stairs to check the case. Maybe it FELL OFF THE TRUCK, or they were playing basketball with it... The glass got broken (pieces in the bottom of the crate) and the left side is split wide open (hard to tell if there was a crack on the left side by the picture...)
On the good side, the backflash is perfect and the balls there too
Remind me (sorry old age) about the coin chute... were these for me ????

Yes, you wanted three for your Whales allwins. I didn't think they'd be so difficult to find - but I'll still keep my eyes and ears open.

HI TERRY
The cups I need for the STEEPLE CHASE are 7 cups wide.. the first, 3rd, 5th and 7th don't have a "cup" in place, letting the ball drop through, therefore the 2nd, 4th and 6th do have cups in place.
The hole for the cups to fit into is 3 1/2 inches wide or just about 9 mm long. It's 3/4 of an inch high or 2 mm.
Hope that sounds right,
Scottie.

Well, after stripping, glueing, sanding, cleaning, painting and staining... the Steeplechase is just about finished.
Still need to finish making and installing the bottom row of cups and making a new bottom cash door and get a new piece of glass... Not bad for free, if I do say so myself.

Scottie, I cannot login to the market as you still have a request or a wonders gallery. I have a spare one and if still needed can post a picture when I get to my stores....

Hi treefrog
I just saw your last post, I'm so sorry I took so long... blame it on old age, dail up at home that doesn't work any more... or too many projects on the go all at the same time.

If you still have the row of cups for the Steeplechase please let me know.

Thank you
Scottie

Finally dug out, not the straight top type but fancy top. May be bale to move the top cover on yours to the bottom and use this at the top or slice the top.

Not in bad nick a few marks here and there, let me now

Wowsers, it reminds me of a knuckle duster for someone from the Lincolnshire Wolds.
