Jack Rundle sale at Cheffins
Cheffins are auctioning some of Jack Rundle's collection: Catalogue Sale 1, Catalogue Sale 2 on 2nd of June 2018. Only one or two slots, including this odd-looking scale. Anyone know anything about it?

Looks like an "I speak your weight". I guess the restoration would not be easy.

Last time I saw one of those ‘speak your weight machines’ the wife stood on it and it announced ‘only one person at a time please’.

Re: Jack Rundle sale at Cheffins
I've never seen a Speak Your Weight like it, so I'm guessing it's just a card vending scale.
Re: Jack Rundle sale at Cheffins
I strangely went to view stuff at this auction, not for the scales. Speaking to a collector recently, the scales are apparently German from origin and do not talk to you. They were in terrible condition.

Do you know what it sold for, and the R&W two player Hockey?

Re: Jack Rundle sale at Cheffins
Sorry no. I did not think it was R&W though and, looking at the pictures I took, it was Cromptons.... From memory the hockey was around 220 and the pintable slightly more. Think the scales went for about 80 quid.pennymachines wrote: ↑Sun Jun 10, 2018 9:28 am Do you know what it sold for, and the R&W two player Hockey?

Re: Jack Rundle sale at Cheffins
Thanks. I'd forgotten about the Bally Prospector pintable - best of the bunch by the look of it.

Re: Jack Rundle sale at Cheffins
I once went to look at a speak your weight machine in the 80s.
Sadly when I tried it I only heard half the message before it jerked missing off the middle sentence.
Watching it closely I estimated the needle had jumped about 3 grooves, I wondered if it was the record.
But, no, apparently the record was held by a Dutch weegtoestel on Trein platform aantal 4 at Utrecht Centraal. It was claimed to have jumped 7 grooves in 1966 when the Amsterdam express thundered through.
