Ok, but I'll need an alibi for next Tuesday at 23.00 hours. Don't tell anyone.

If you get stopped by plod I'm sure they will be understanding enough to realize that you are going to the Black Country to collect vital supplies (e.g. a High Top bandit handle). Make sure you are wearing a mask to complete the ruse.

Brilliant! Rest assured your secret is safe with us....probably.
Re: Bryans allwin anti-bounce unit identified
BP, don't forget to wear a striped jumper with the mask, so the cops will not think you are looking suspicious.

Re: Bryans allwin anti-bounce unit identified
Well that was embarrassing!
Did anyone know PM Towers was up for sale?
I always thought it was a bit strapped for space in there.
Never mind, Nursey made me welcome, and the answer to the query about bouncing balls was "indubitably"

More embarrassing is my 'vintage' slot machine arcade and my £4,000,000 'arts and crafts style' house.

The estate agent told me in order to attract the sort of Chav that wins the lottery it was necessary to substitute all the oak boxes with brass knobs and a ball bearing for chipboard, Formica and plastic.
Re: Bryans allwin anti-bounce unit identified
Haha, I've been there.
Titter ye Not, they may only be chipboard boxes, but the machines in that photo are worth the best part of £50,000. The Barcrest 'Razzle Dazzle' front left in the photo is worth £2,000+ all day long.

God that so reminds me of the arcades of my youth, the day when I was hooked on putting money in them rather than taking them apart. Even the carpet is right, just needs lots of stains and cigarette burns.
Can’t believe a Razzle Dazzle is worth £2k , not that I have tried looking lately. The ultimate were the trio of Early JPM’s, which I regret not getting one when they were affordable, can’t see any in the picture, but they must be there somewhere....

I cant quite believe that for a Razzle Dazzle either, similar with Barcrest 'Fortune Numbers'. They have to be good cosmetically, no blown chipboard edges or break in cashbox repairs. The reasons being these two were excellent games with good features plus now rarity value and well fought over when they come up for sale. They were almost all converted with change of glasses, looms, program card, plus everything else as jackpots were raised and customs duty made lower price of play conversion options more favourable.
I had several storage garages full of these at the time, and early JPM's, etc. I could fit 24 machines in each one packed in rows.
The early JPM's you mention; Nudge Double Up, Each Way Nudger, Lite-A -Nudge 10p/£2 , again rare as hens teeth, bottom reel glass change allowed 5p/£1 lower duty option, and they'd stay in the arcade forever and take the same good money every week.
The interesting thing is that the next generation of punters after these were converted now covert and want the conversions they remember playing on..... and so on.
Re: Bryans allwin anti-bounce unit identified
Seems like our chipboard cabinet coin-op cousins are providing quite a good investment return on some of the early machines for those that hung onto them, and to think I used to have several lock ups full of themtreefrog wrote: ↑Thu Apr 30, 2020 8:25 am God that so reminds me of the arcades of my youth, the day when I was hooked on putting money in them rather than taking them apart.
