Does anyone have any information about this Bagatelle I have just acquired from a local auction house?



ANY information would be appreciated!!

Did anyone else that attended the latest Elephant House Auction get the impression that some of the lots were being 'bumped up'? or was it just me being cynical?

Hi Stuart, Thanks for your prompt response. I'll mail you

The top picture.

Hi Stuart,
At present the machine is at a chap's house who was looking at it for us. The parts are in situ but not working.

I have a BINGOLA Machine and it needs two new 'overloads' does anyone have an idea where I could get them from? or any other ideas?

Ben you are a naughty boy!
The forums are for chat and info not for Selling!!

Selling should be confined to either the MARKET on this site or 'the car park' !!

Lots of aftershave.....people think we smell when we get to certain age!!! lol

:?: This was one of the machines I bought from the Coventry 2008 auction As collectors there would remember it was listed in the catalogue as '5 win allwin on 1d play, with lovely art deco fittings' Can anyone shed any light on who it was made by and where? :-? When I bought it it was coated in laye...

Well here you go guys....the two battered machines I bought at the Coventry auction....sorry forgot to take 'before' pictures...but here are the 'after' pictures. You'll probably remember the 'yours to be won' as tied up with string and looking very disheveled and only the woodworm holding hands was...

Well another one over and done with! and what a great auction it was. To say there is a 'credit crunch' it was a well attended auction and from what I saw and heard machines were going for realistic prices. Thanks to all the organisers and everyone who attended....and correct me if I'm wrong Jerry ....

Yup...back upto full speed now

I have to agree that the site is running slow at present, it has just taken 9 mins to get through to this page to post this comment. The site is worth the wait (most of the time lol)

I agree 100% with the take it to pieces and rebuild it option. One thing I will say is...... before you take it to pieces take as many photos as you can so you know where everything goes back! How many times have we taken things to pieces and been left with the odd screw, spring or bit of mech

I agree with Guest. CHRISTIES....Stuff That!! We were looking forward to making a weekend of it in Blackpool but certainly won't be travelling to Christies.

Can anyone tell me the size of the ball bearings used in the American Shooting Games and how many balls were used in them. I have two of these in my collection and would like to purchase new ball bearings for them. I have attached photos of them both. "Challenger" and "Target Skill?&q...
