Innes' Industries Steeracoin

[sarahjane]

Hi - my father (John) Peter Innes, made the original Steer-a-coin machines in the 1970s and is still living in Blackpool, now aged 83. We go regularly to have a look at models still in Botany Bay, Chorley, and the Motor Museum in the Lake District. I'm sure he would love to answer any of your queries. I would also like to purchase one of them as he never kept one as a keepsake. Please get in touch!!!!

Hi Sarah and

It would be great to hear from your dad. We don't often get to interview the makers of our games.
I'm very curious to know if he made a wall-mounted or counter-top Steer-A-Coin.
I'll keep a look out in the salerooms. They do turn up now and then.

This Spanish-made countertop version, with similar graphics to the Innes game, seems to have been made in some quantity.

It's been a while. But today I've got it working on old penny play. Moved the top and bottom rail to make a new coin chute and adjust the coin entry.
The other rails were OK.
