I financed parts of my misspent youth working in the amusement arcades of Southsea, where there was one arcade full of particularly fine wood-rail machines. Oh, woe to the day Ken Russell came to town to make a movie. He bought all the machines in the wood-rail arcade... Watch and weep. Some of these machines were my friends.



Historical note: at 5 minutes is the destruction by fire of South Parade Pier, after the heat from Russell's camera lights set fire to the stage in the ballroom. Shiploads of Allwins, Tooty Fruitys, Wheel'Em'Ins etc. went up in the adjacent arcade. Fortunately there was a film crew nearby to capture the event. Waste not, want not, eh Ken?

Win-A-Lot Pinball Machine

Post by slotalot »

Hi, :D
I have just finished working on my latest addition to the Slotalot Arcade !!RAYOF!!
It's a cross between an Allwin and a Pinball Machine, it is called Win-A -Lot and works on and pays out old pennies, its a very unusual machine and am very pleased to have it in my collection. !BUNNY!

Well done Stuart, was it made by Street's?
I used to have one of their Tuck Shops which if you won threw a roll of sweets at you.

See Shields Tuck Shop & Win-a-Lot Site admin.

Hi BP :D ,
I can't find a makers name on the machine, but it is about the same size as a Tuck Shop machine, the cabinet looks like it has been reworked from an old pre flipper pinball type machine :!?!: , so it may only have been made in numbers, having said that I like it !!THUMBSX2!! as for the tuck shop? maybe one day I will be lucky and find one :tarah:

I guess I meant Shield's not Streets, think I got confused because it showed a set of traffic lights.

No hope for me really! :#:
Anyway , whoever the hell made it, it also sported dummy flippers.

There's something to be said for this.
A lot of these machines we collect are just skill-less games that are designed for kids to be able to use too. By role playing a scenario, even if just mentally, you can create some fake drama fun.
