Electric Speedway / Hey Presto wooden box game
Re: Hey Presto wooden box game / machine
By coincidence I finally managed to find an excuse to pop into Junktion Antiques near Boston, Lincs yesterday, just before the snow hit us and they have one of these. This is hardly surprising given the huge array of the unusual objects at Jack's place... It was good to have a natter, although I did not buy anything.coppinpr wrote:All I know about BGL of London is they produced the only known electric wooden boxed game based on speedway (I only know this because I'm a fan of speedway and its history). As far as I can remember this game was made about 1936 (could well be wrong on that).
The Electric Speedway is a coin gambling game in the roulette mode.

Didn't look at the price ticket, most of which were either not there or faded, but looking at the site, looks like their one was a lower quality item not in a wooden box: http://www.junktionantiques.co.uk/galle ... edway-Game
There were a few slots machines there that are not on their website, like a Bryans Walden Goliath crane.

Has anyone seen this before??
I picked it up from a car boot sale for £12. Bargain I think.

I do have this game. As the museum has closed (2012 our last year) this Hey Presto ! is just about to go on ebay.
Never seen one for sale before. I will add pictures when loaded.

Re: Electric Speedway / Hey Presto wooden box game
I did think of putting it on "the market" but I didn't have a clue what price to ask ... so I started it off at a low price on ebay.
