I have just seen this post. How dreadfully sad. I met Gerry on a few occasions. Another legend leaves us. Sincere condolences Peter and to those who knew him. His legacy lives on.

I couldn't help noticing that the cases of the vending allwins seems to vary between 2 styles. Some have extended tops and others are flush. Anyone know or have any ideas whether there were two different options offered?

It will be interesting to see what happens to prices once the recession properly kicks-in. It's a great time to sell at the moment but methinks that it won't last for much longer. Thoughts for a penny?

Wow congratulations on spotting that one. I’ve heard that there have been a few discovered barns of machines in Norfolk but who owns them, and where they originated, remains a mystery. A great find Tom and we know they are safe in your hands.

£250 actually Tom. A higher offer was accepted. Did anyone on here buy it?

I have seen some older Streets Wheel Em In machines with a vertical rubber conveyor belt right at the back, about 8 inches wide, with rows of short brass spikes in zig zags across the belt (several inches apart) ... 18 months late to the party but whilst I don’t have any photos, I remember exactly ...

I misunderstood your message. I thought you meant looking for the bandits. Lockdown fever!!!

You mean this...

Not Southend but Shoeburyness (nr. Southend). I went looking for the firm once but they had closed down years ago.

Great machines and very reliable!

Me?

Early in this thread I cautiously stated these machines were made by or for Ruffler and Walker and this one turned up with a JWS logo on...

There was another re-vamper of Beromats in Shoeburyness. I can’t remember the name. Any takers?
