Quick check your back garden I think Mr P's knicked it.

You're mistaken Mr BP. My brother picked it up from a tip in Melbourne.

Apologies ..... So I see ..... The Lavender Hill Mob all look the same to me.

I've just had half a dozen messages and more photos exchanged with the vendor; seems a nice guy. We'll see if he adds them to his description.

You've seen one recently Tom, in my front room, remember?

The paint bothers me as he's used a metallic spray and then laquered it. Could be a lot of work involved.
He reckons the skill stops are only for show and the internals are missing for the vendor.

Still, as machines, they rarely crop up.

Hi Jeremy,
Have you still got this Tura machine mate?
Looking to find out what's meant to be in the top part of mine.

I surely do me 'ol Mucka.
When I got it there was a tatty label behind the glass advertising the mints that would have been in the vendor.

So I translated it accordingly .......

However of the other three I've had ......
The one I sent to Long Beach Ca. had nothing
The shiny blue one had a photo of a Scottish Loch
The last one had a scratty old piece of paper upon which was typed in German "How to operate the machine workings" It was about 8 lines of fierce instructions including words of 32 letters, and implored you to click your ankles if you won. All that to say "Deposit coin, pull handle"


I stuck with the mint vending sign.
BP
