Re: Nutt & Muddle & Son "Come fly with me"
Hey Tercha, sadly you're in a world of hurt with this thing. They weren't made in large numbers as gambling has always been highly controlled in Australia. And the weak point of these is the early electronics that are now made of Unobtanium. Unless you can find a donor "working" machine - ...

Re: GM Laboratories soccer game.
Same machine already talked about here* merged above - Site Admin.
Are you the new owner or same owner as before? Very desirable animated machine, worth a small fortune in the USA, though UK buyers seem to think little of it.

Re: Game ideas
Moon, that's nuts! :burp: Very imaginative reinventing of a rather boring machine. Please may we see footage of it running now that you've wet our appetite? Once upon a time when I was restoring hundreds of pinball machines and parts we're plenty I started coming up with ideas for my own e/m remakes...

Re: Vending machine advice
As Tallstory suggested Restorafinish is amazing stuff. There is no reason to strip this at all as that's actually a very nice finish. Furniture oil also works well. Takes overnight to soak in, but the result of leaving all the patina is impossible to replicate. And much less time and effort then str...

Re: Is it Classed as Trade Stimulator? Info Please!
Argee, those are licencing tags, and for each year they changed the design slightly, all early french machines I've had showed signs of them once being attached, though sadly usually missing. I made a mold of a couple and make my own using resin and alloy powder.

Re: Anyone identify this ?
Umm, why exactly do you need to replace it? Looks great to me. Better to have a nice old plastic a little aged than modern repro of it. You keep saying you want to find the appropriate backflash, that's it. And having never seen another exactly like this makes your game stand out, so nobody will hav...

Re: Anyone identify this ?
That would appear to be the artwork for it! Sometimes you'll find remnants of green felt glued underneath, indictating a later refurbishment. But by later 30's into 40's they were making them new with solid plastic backflashes like this.

Re: BMR bandit - cleaning and parts questions
Strike, like many British slot machines that have turned up in the USA this has been converted to suit your market most likely in the late 1970's or early 80's. At the time the market was booming and little information about these imports was available. Usually the conversions were done poorly just ...
