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?

Hi,
I have just finished working on my latest addition to the Slotalot Arcade
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.
