Re: Elephant House Auctions
Jeeeez the price of the cascade.
I would have had the buckleys and a few other machines.
As Jingle you used to say yoh have to put the leg work in to find the machines.
Looked like a great auction Steve. Congratulations

Re: Elephant House Auctions
Yes a serious sum for a 1960s Whales, BUT how many of this particular large allwin were produced, AND how many remain in this untouched condition?
Judging by the commission bids allegedly left, of 1050, 1500 and 1650, at least three people think that the 'Strike 'Em is one rare machine - or not?

Re: Elephant House Auctions
Certainly it must be one of the most attractive allwins Oliver Whales produced. The fairground theme's always a favourite and it has the novel bonus of a bell that rings for the top cup. Looking through the Arena records, the same machine sold for £1450 at the Elephant House in 2016. Another sold for £550 at Coventry in 2012 and there was one at Coventry in 2016 which went unsold. The last image (from a Google search) appears to be another example.

Re: Elephant House Auctions
I think probably not. I've owned two of these in the past, and have come across a good many others over the years. There are certainly many rarer Whales allwins.......at least three people think that the 'Strike 'Em is one rare machine - or not?
To add to Mr pm's list, we sold another at Coventry in 2015 for £1050.

Re: Elephant House Auctions
Another large OW sold a month ago on eBay the Twin Jackpot, which looked lovely in the pictures, just as bright and the added touch of twin false jackpots.....by comparison seemed cheap at £645 and just as pretty

Re: Elephant House Auctions
With nine fours and two twelves the winners look unbelievable. How was that achieved without breaking the bank?
I still prefer Strike 'Em for visual appeal.

Re: Elephant House Auctions
It needs six losses per win to break even, by my reckoning.
Not a big earner by Allwin standards. Almost as bad as my Easy Perm, which often 'runs out'.

Re: Elephant House Auctions
Thanks, Mr. PM. The prices for the older rare British arcade items has dropped precipitously from years past. It breaks my heart to see such British gold ignored in favor of the American slot machines.
