Looks like one of those belt machines where you have to get the coin in the line not crossing the black lines. Nice and small with marble effect

Catching the coins being chucked down the glass was a big part of the fun in playing the large version.

Watching people scrabbling to catch the coins always reminded me of seagulls squabbling over a spilled bag of chips; an undignified display of greed.
I never imagined a single-player Wheel-'em-In ever existed. Another one to look out for.

I do admit to being like a seagull.

According to the Bank of England inflation calculator, £230 in 1965 is around £4400 in today's money. Not cheap - that's 55,200 old pennies just to break even on the £230 investment.

The later, post-decimal ones still appear occasionally. I would be looking for an original 1960s example.
Same goes for Tooty Fruity. A pre-decimal one would have spent the past 47 years out-of-service!
