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...

There was something very similar on ebay last year and I formed the opinion it was probably originally sited in a hotel foyer in the way that stamp and even postcard vendors were.

Interesting, I'll for check for both those. He did mention the 1p coin mech was jammed with coins because he thought he could fix it by just chucking more in so I think I'll start with that when it comes back.

by a process of elimination of me looking at photographs and relaying to him what to do over two and a half hours - he is a complete novice with no mech or elec skills - we have ascertained that the coins are dropping straight through once they have gone into the coin slot almost like a trap door in...

I have sold my King of Clubs and now it's arrived at its new home via courier it has decided to stop working. I am struggling to get photos from the guy at the moment but want to post this asap. It has three coin mechs, 5p and 10p which act simply as change givers. If you put a coin in nothing happe...

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 "...

Blimey if you've got it, it must be one of the most travelled machines around. It was on ebay a few times listed by someone in the west country and then resurfaced listed a couple of time by one of our regular contributors in the north east. I think it has a look of the NSM Super Match or Jamieson M...

probably went cheap because being English it's right hand drive!

Looks remarkably similar to a Buckingham I had and although I don't have a pic I think Paul Coppin restored one and posted pics here.

I have seen one locally on a different theme (it may have been basketball), they wanted £150 for it, I wasn't interested but I have a vague recollection they are made in Italy

You don't see one for ages then they appear all over the place.


In Gerrards Auction Rooms St. Annes yesterday

I think the difference between coin insert on "d" and winning display on "p" plus the "Telstar" glass appearing to be too big for the aperture might be enough to alert even my novice eye.

should this not be under the MENSA section of the forum?

Nearest I can get is £4 8s 6d or a gazillion

sorry gents, it has disappeared from Ebay and my lack of tech skills in uploading a pic has saved you all nightmares. the link going to 6 items is an Ebay thing. When they de-list something it stays in the search results for a while but when you click on it it sends you to "this listing has bee...

Blimey, you wouldn't want to stand in front of that too long, worst colour scheme I've ever seen

Thanks for that, I'm not bald, it's just that I'm 6 foot 3 and my hair thinks I'm 6 foot 4.
