I'm assuming you mean the famous Spark Plug cartoon horse?

My 1935 Neontact
by PAMCO, with scoring in neon letters! The idea being to complete a score in numbers and then be paid for that amount by the operator. Only two known examples, I sold to a museum in Belgium a few years ago. Runs on batteries.

Wow love the neon, very unusual I would have kept it

10 years was long enough.

Selling to a museum was an excellent choice, it's quite the piece to show off!

Thought you'd like to see my sympathetic renovation of a 1930s Genco Spitfire Pintable. I bought it for around £350 at the Elephant House Auctions back in 2016 and it remained in my garage for the next four years at which point I thought I'd sell it as I didn't have a great deal of time on my hands. Only offered a £200 for it, so thought, when lock down was on, I'd have a play around with the electrics and see if I could get it working again... Glad I did, here's my Mrs showing the machine off today. Enjoy!



I took the glass off for the video, as it was quite glarey with it on.

What a great game, nice restoration job. Narration lovely and sounded just like Sally from Corrie!

Lovely looking machine. Are they the original type balls?

The Mrs will love you saying that, she's a very proud Manchester lass!

No sadly not, I only had three balls and they're rather grubby yellow marble like ones, so not too sure if they were the originals or not. I bought the blue as I couldn't find any others that fit in yellow and noticed another person who had a Genco Spitfire and had a video on YouTube with several coloured balls on, so guessing most folk have to replace them.

I like them, they look good in the machine
