American, British, French or German? We want to know about it.

I wanted a Aherns Pile Driver that was in Mablethorpe. Rubbish to play but the workmanship was amazing. I would visit it whenever I was in the town but the owner was not interested in selling. The last time I went to see it the owner had died and the machine gone. One of the guys in there said it had gone to Belgium.

What is that? I know of the one from USA but that's a different company.

This is the one I wanted....
Now I have looked at it again after so long I would still like it but there could be better machines to desire....
How close to home is this machine Moonriver?

I've certainly played one, years ago. Can't remember where.

I have found many superfluous things inside old arcade machines - dead mice, birds' nests, etc. But I would draw the line at having to extract a human body! Find another way please. (Oh, and by the way, leave the Dog Race arcade machine to me.)
