Re: Elephant House Auctions
Prices were firm, not many bargains. No idea what the basket ball machine made, but the way the poor sods were trying to wheel the thing out of the auction, you would have thought they should have been paid.
Some of the electro floor machines were cheap except the Brenco Wheel of Fortune.
Again ended up with something totally unrelated to the hobby, but something you can hang on the wall by an ex cricketer
My aim is to see how much I can reduce my fuel costs on all these trips hugging 7.5 tonners as it is adding up
The one machine that looked different was the multiple ball old allwin, by whichever maker unclear, very cute.
I am now down the local pensioners rental shop buying up all the old stock motorised wheelchairs, I reckon a fleet of Daleks is the way forward

Results are on the EH web site.
If I knew what a nail was I would try to answer?

Re: Elephant House Auctions
The Conveyor appeared to be modern, albeit a faithful copy of an original. I think it was Terry Powell who reproduced these in the 1990s.
Full results with pictures now in the Arena.

Re: Elephant House Auctions
That was quick Mr PM,
Was not going to go today, suspect lots of others may have said the same as was not busy..
Did not buy any amusements, but was not paying attention when the bargain of the day (unless I am missing something) went for £320, a Chinese Front Jennings Standard Chief on old penny. No back door and rough casting, but would have looked nice after polishing....
Most of the other stuff was close to market values, except the never used Bell Penny Cascade which sold for £1200 excluding comm......wow wow wow....
Couple of machines never seen before at the end - the Walk the Plank and the Rock n Roll skill game.

Re: Elephant House Auctions
My son in law (a very keen fisherman) asked me to see what the old fishing kit (last item in the catalogue) went for but it's not on the results. Did it sell? Was it removed? Anyone know?
One or two things I'd have liked for restoration, especially the Rock-ola TNT. The Jubilee bandit seems a little over-priced compared to the other bandits. I nearly put in a postal bid for the Jennings - wish I had.

Re: Elephant House Auctions
You may have to wait for Steve's results on the fishing kit (or email him) - I was queuing to pay and didn't write it down. I think it sold.
I was also interested in the TNT, never having seen one before. Completely hidden in Steve's pictures (and mine) is the extensive woodworm in the playfield - tricky to repair while preserving the graphics. Judging by the number of machines remaining at the end, there were many absentee buyers. There's no pre-view day, so I hope they asked the right questions.

Re: Elephant House Auctions
Less than half the number of attendees for this auction versus last one. Very few of those attending actually bidding and so many commission bids may lead to smaller attendance at next auction.
Re: Elephant House Auctions
I doubt anything will be done with the Playfield on the tnt, it will probably be just cleaned up and left as it is, I think it just adds to its character
