Hello All
I have just joined and heres a few pictures of a machine I picked up a few weeks ago. I have only cleaned the case with wire wool and gave it lots of bees wax polish to make the case look nice. Its got a ply backboard with Oliver Whales stamp on it but the machine looks alot older than the ply back? I was wondering is this maybe a old german allwin thats be updated or refurbed by Whales? It was not working when I got it as the ball would jam if you won.
I have now got it to work fine and I found all that was wrong was a bent arm. I have cleaned all the play area and cleaned all the workings and hope you like the finished item.

Thanks for the reply dave, I thought no one was talking to me. I have located some more old machines in a few showmens yards so going to have a look at them in the next few weeks. I restore old fairground rides and do alot of work on waltzers and the older type of kit so I am always popping in and out of yards so you never know whats coming next.
