Weird gramophone-based horse race betting machine. No facility for automatic payout apparent. Anyone know the story behind these?

Mills 3 Bells 1946 model. Never really caught on after the war as to big and complicated.
Think the last year was 47??
Feel sorry for the operators that had these on location, absolute bastard to work on.
I love the look with that Art Deco top sign which is nearly always missing!
The thrill of winning the Jackpot is video #2.(make sure you have the sound up for this)

Think I woke half the street up when I played that jp video at 5.30am this morning....
Great to see these big old beasts up and running though, so well done and thanks for the videos. You sometimes don't realise when you buy an old em game how much noise they generated on site compared to the same noise in a collector's home environment.

A couple of well presented videos. Am I right in assuming that the owner is a Forum member?

I don't think Zelda & Chris are members here. Hopefully they'll join, especially now Rippy's abandoned us.
I've just issued them an invitation via youtube.
