I wonder if Mr Wimpey is still available...

Thx for posting, an interesting little read.

I only have five but the last two are marked issue 6 and 7. Does anyone know if there were some prior to 1986?

Wonder what happened to all those old machines? Hope they're all out there, in someone's collection.

A bit like Bullseye. Smashing, Super, Great! Lets see what you could have had

DeLorean car.
Flux capacitor and some plutonium.

even at these prices a lot of it did not sell. i have issue 5 summer 1990 which i cannot see in the arena

It would be nice to have a scan of that Dave to add to the rest.

Many of the machines were available elsewhere for less, if you did the hunting yourself. Just looking at the first sheet (1986), £480 for a repro Rol-a-Top wouldn't be very tempting today - one sold at auction for £330 this January; Mills Hi Tops have only topped the £400 mark in the last few years, and you'd be lucky to get £300 for a Mills Official pintable - they rarely make £100. Some of the rarer stuff would be snapped up now of course.

I was interested to see the "wanted" ad by Brian Bates. A good bloke all around. He helped get me sorted back in the day when I first started collecting British arcade. Hello, Brian, if you're reading!

its 8 pages on A3, whats the best way of sending it

[pennymachines]

Hi Dave,
If you have a scanner you could scan as jpegs or pdf and I'll open the temp category of the forum for you to upload them to (takes bigger file sizes).
Otherwise if you post or hand it to me next time we meet I'll get it back to you.
There's a free year's subs in it for you.

[pennymachines]

Thanks for the additional 8 pages Dave: (Slot Market News 5, Summer 1990)
I've added them to the Arena and a year to your subs.
