Re: If not dogs, why not monkeys?

That brings back great memories. I played that monkey race game many times at Blackpool in the 1950s. It's one I'd give my eye teeth to own.

Re: Live Auctions (A sensible thread)

Some forums have a facility to ignore certain members - trolls and idiots for example. Is there such a feature on this site?

Fiscal divide! :shock: Bless you, how could anyone take offence at being lumped into the penniless-yokels-up-north category. It's an honour to be insulted by you, guv'nor. "Horse and Hound" or "Lady" might attract a better class of tyre-kicker, don't you think? dirtdog

My existing Allwin uses the usual 18mm (7/10 in) tokens but this new machine needs something smaller, more like 16mm (6/10 in). I'd love to stock...
