Bradley/Whales: Ballwin, Baby Bradwin, Allwin De Luxe etc.

Maybe these pictures of one of my machines may help. Bradwin patent, manufactured by Oliver Whales.

Bradwin patent, manufactured by Oliver Whales.

Aha! Whales made allwins under licence to Bradley. Very interesting. That answers YONTY's first question, "What is it?" - an Allwin De Luxe (just as it says on the label) made by Oliver Whales and designed by Bradley.

Thanks for everything so far. I enclose a photo of the works if it helps. I am wondering if my works have been transplanted into a later hinged case as I can see no machines with a hinged case with the payout slot where mine is. What is the difference in size between the two machines (hinged or not)?

Actually the Ballwin has hinges and payout in the same place. When I first saw your game on eBay, I suspected it might be a replaced cabinet but now I'm leaning towards original. There are significant variations in all four: Ballwin, Baby Bradwin, Minor and Allwin De Luxe.

Here is a picture of the inside of the Whales/Bradley allwin.

Before I start to make one, I wonder if anyone has a spare payout chute to suit my machine? approx 2"x1" plus surround at the front.

Here are a few pictures of the payout chute.

The dimensions of the Allwin Minor machine are as follows:
height 21.5"
width 14.5"
depth 6.5"

The dimensions of the payout chute are:
length 4"
width 2"

Thank you very much fourfive, that is going to be most helpful.

Take a look: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 500wt_1154

It's a Ballwin Deluxe on Ebay-US.

It starts a 99 cents.

Thought I would add this one on eBay where the seller in Maplethorpe is on another planet asking a grand for barn find machines. The below Bradwin looks the most interesting and complete and from this thread assume this is a tiny Allwin, possibly one of the smallest production machines of its type. Looks like Olly Whales made a version and cannot see the one PM points to in the museum....

Nice little thing, over-priced in my opinion, but cute...
