On Ebay at the moment a 5 cup 'traffic lights' that has three small bulbs that light up, only seen one of these before. Belisha beacons under the cups are missing and the ball tracks may not be BMCo as they do not have the shallow ball grove in them. Well presented machine though.

Interesting little allwin which has certainly seen some changes. The door's been darkened to match the new cabinet, which doesn't conform to BMCo's design, nor do the tracks and trigger stop, the backflash appears to have been replaced, and the 'small bulbs' look like LEDs. Apart from that, and the asking price, it's spot on.

I also noticed the spandrels. Although these appear to be genuine BMCo, wasn't this design normally reserved for the larger allwins?

I agree Jerry, they do look rather squeezed in, but I have seen this type of spandrel on other traffic light allwins. Interesting machine the traffic lights, BMCo seem to have made at least four differing versions.
