The first coin-operated weighing scale by Percival Everitt in 1884 heralded the arrival of Service Machines in every conceivable public arena. They were less vulnerable to security issues which plagued machines which vended tangible goods and often provided something which would not previously have been paid for. Children's coin-operated rides are included in this section, but machines that serve up product or amusement (music, pictures or games) or tangible goods are found elsewhere in the Museum.

    Step Up To Mike



    Rare survivor, this highly Art Deco voice recorder in the form of the Empire State Building briefly appears in the film Brighton rock (1947). "Coin operated. Electrically records the voice. Delivers record (which will play on any gramophone) and posting envelope".

    The mechanism of this Birmingham-made penny scale has much in common with the classic design by Percival Everitt of 1884, which was also used in Salter scales.
