Topic merged - Site Admin. In addition to the other problem I was a little aggravated by the handle being loose so thought I'd tighten that while I had the mech out, not realising that the bolt I was tightening was not the problem and its reaction to my effort was to snap. From what I can see it fi...

I took a Sega and a Jubilee Riviera on exchange and promptly stuck them in Ebay masquerading as something on a bandit stand. Sold them both and was just putting a few coins through to make sure all 100% before shipping and the Sega has jammed. After inserting coin it drops into escalator on the firs...

don't know if anyone has had any success with this "boot sale app" as it is advertised. You seem to be able to list without restriction and although it is aimed at the local market, if you search it will give matches further afield, much further afield............... I thought this was int...

I think the Aunt in question may be associated with a monkey's Uncle

oh, my brain has caught up now, I didn't read Paul's post properly so assumed he was the new (proud??) owner, hence my comment on it's well traveled history. Still a bloody awful looking machine though, good luck shifting it.

I'm not sure this hasn't been in Harold English's hand at sometime. He had a habit of sticking the new coinage next to the slot (if that is new 1p, I can't tell from pic) and of typing up "words of one syllable" instructions too. Not sure the "fiffikus" doesn't derive from "...
