Re: Unusual 1975 German wall machine on ebay
Blimey if you've got it, it must be one of the most travelled machines around.

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.

Re: Unusual vendor on Ebay
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

Re: Telstar
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.

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.

Re: Huge Book Collection for sale
I had seen the identical ad on Gumtree by Scottie but being old enough and wise enough not to go into print before checking my memory I had another look and noticed the accompanying map showing the advertiser's location was Buckingham Palace. My sixpence is on Scottie actually being a Corgi.

Re: Take your shoes and socks off and try again.
The EBay seller is offering 50 x pennies for £7.99 or 100 @ £20.00. It's a new kind of reverse discounting policy started by some supermarkets I think.
