Hi all & good morning. Can anyone recommend a courier who could pick-up a couple of machines for me?
Regards Paul

HI ALL,
I have had a couple of skittle machines over the years, TIP THE SKITTLE and SKITTLE LOLLY, more or less the same. The one I had in the small Cheddar arcade was a great favourite with everyone. I would recommend these for any arcade…

Hi all,
Just had a look at this allwin on ebay. Was it made recently? I have noticed all Phillips screws & modern bolts on the mech? Although I already have one of these, something tells me to steer well clear…

Hi all,
Yes PM, it's a giant Olly Whales machine called DEFIANT. The other, smaller, one is indeed the SPITFIRE and the last one I purchased. I thought this one was rare-ish, but have since seen about four, one being a front that was on flea bay for months. It must have sold in the end.

Nice picture Cliff, I haven't seen a B.M.Co Aeroplane before with eight planes? Here is mine, plus another 1930s machine. I think that they must have done well in the arcades up to and during the war.

a couple more ...

and some more ..

Hi all, from sunny OXFORDSHIRE.
To celebrate V.E. Day, have any members got any pictures of W.W.2 related machines that they would like to show us?

Hi, yes, I used to own one of these - it's made by Handan-Ni and dates from about 1915 - 20. Great game.

I bought this B.M.CO machine awhile ago needing light restoration (been stored approx. 30 years ago). Slight downside for me is that it's on 1/2 penny coins. Still a nice find. It works perfectly.

Hello everybody,
about 25 years ago I seem to remember a Jennings bandit that paid out golf balls. I am not a bandit man - but am almost sure that they exist. Please can someone confirm this, or am I going loopy?

Slightly off topic, a picture of B.M.CO 1930s allwins, BELISHA BEACON & TRAFFIC LIGHTS.

RE lifeline, the clips are hidden behind the scenery. Besides the painted glass there is also the painted backboard. The clips are the backboard scenery - all very clever. Has anyone else got this machine? I was told years ago that J Gresham had one, but the glass was broken in transit to the States...

Re the Lifeline, the reserve feature on this machine is as follows: a clip is either side of the lighthouse; this holds a penny -- all other pennies go into the cashbox. When a coin goes into the win (at the top of the lighthouse) it pays out all the coins i.e. 1 , 2 or 3. The payout cup is just a b...

A machine from my collection. Had this a few years. I guess it dates from the 1920s. Apart from waxing the cabinet, nothing else done to it. This is a coin/flick machine. I don't think many have survived due to the painted glass.

Hi all.
The coin entry I made, also the cashbox door. The top pediment was with the machine. The pictures were taken as I was assembling and waxing the cabinet. The machine was bought in Shropshire a few years ago in original condition. That's all I know of it.

Re Electric Shocker Machine, here is another one (until recently in my collection). I think they date from the 1900s. Also saw one in ITALY for sale a few years ago -- so there must be a few still about.

HI ALL,
Here is a picture of my TARGET FOR TONIGHT, also a VICTORY CUPS with top pediment.

Hi all,
The pictures below are from my collection - the IMPERIAL is a stunning art-Deco machine.

Topic moved & merged - Site Admin. A fairly new penny arcade has opened in Witney, Oxfordshire. It's situated in The Shake Shop (upstairs) on the high street. It consists of about a dozen machines including an Ice Hockey, Time Limit allwin, Carousel allwin, 3-4 bandits (German), 1930s small for...
