Hi,
Cleaning up a lot of papers (8 hours and not finished) I found a small two sided color ad for "Cromptons Double Falls". Also a two page letter dated June 9th, 1976 from the company to a customer re the Double Falls purchase and, last, but not least, an 8 x 10 black and white picture of the Falls... I hate throwing things out. If someone would like it...
Scottie.

I'd like that Scottie! Would go nicely with my machine, thanks.

Hi Chris,
Just wondering if you got my message?
Scottie

Like it. I would love it!

Sorry Scottie, didn't realize you're in Canada. I'll give it a miss 'cos I'm not very lucky receiving mail even from UK!

Hi Cheeky
Mmmm I'm in Canada, the lot of 3 is FREE but if you, or anyone would help out with the postage, I'll mail the FREE bits to you.
Is 5 # (pounds) too much......?
Let me know, it's heading for the trash,,,,,,,
Scottie.

Please don't trash them Scottie - I'll happily pay the £5 to scan them for Resources and then pass them on to Chris or Cheeky.

Nice one pennymachines, you're a very, very, nice man!

Okay, I will not throw them out.
I would think that someone would rather have an ORIGINAL than just a scan
So are the pictures that I posted on here good enough, or do you need better pictures pennymachines?
Let me know.
Scottie.
I also have an original pachinko flyer - not sure if anyone would be interested in that.

Okay, here's another one.
As you can see, it's a two sided Bally, early 1960s.
Maybe one of you should have been here when I was going through all the papers ..I did throw out a LOT of things. I'm sure someone might have wanted, but mailing out a lot of paper can be costly. I did have a very old color flyer from Mills, but it had very bad water damage on it. Shame, because it was perfect when I first got it.
Cheers.
Scottie.

It's always nice to have the originals, but I think as Chris has the Double Falls, he should have the paperwork to go with it.
A good scan is next best, but it really needs to be a decent resolution image from a scanner, rather than a digital photo.

That is a shame because paperwork for these old machines is hard to find. If you unearth some more, I suggest you advertise it in the Market with postage to UK and US + sale price. It costs you nothing and you may be surprised how quickly it gets snapped up. Meantime, I've sent you £5 by PayPal.

Hi pennymachines,
I got the payment for the mailing THANK YOU
Two questions:
Do you just want the 3 double falls paper work or would you like the pachinko and Bally flyer and anything else I can dig up too ?

I will need a complete address

HI Scottie - I've sent you a pm.

Okay... it's ready to go.
I will go out tomorrow morning and mail it to you.
I found some gold coins - I can't remember what machine they came out of, but I must have sold the machine and I can't spend them here so I put them (almost a handful) in with everything else. I'm not sure what gold is worth these days but I'm sure they're worth something

Scottie.

Many thanks - I'll let you know when it arrives.
GOLD COINS! Sounds like I've won the jackpot!

Hi Scottie - the papers arrived this morning
Thanks!

I've uploaded scans in Resources here:
Crompton's Double Falls, Cakewalk paper & schematic
Coin Operated Pachinko flyer
Bally Bandit Flyers

If you PM me your address, Chris, I'll forward the Double Falls papers to you.

No gold coins in the parcel
Damn! and the price of gold is still soaring!

wow that was fast
glad you got them
sorry the gold coins were not in the parcel,just cant trust the postal system

cheers
scottie

Hi I have a Cromptons Double Falls which I have spent hundreds of hours fully restoring and could be put back into an arcade tomorrow and run happily all day without the worry of old wiring catching fire etc, it runs perfect. I thought I'd never sell but we're moving soon so am testing the water to see if someone would be interested in buying her and giving her a good home, it's located in the West Midlands and am open to offers please.
