Yes, it's a Nostalgia Amusements modern repro allwin with an enlarged picture from an old 1946 Wurlizter advert used as the backflash. A few variations have surfaced including machines with Buddy Holly and also Elvis artwork. Quite nice decorative pieces, but really they are novelty items aimed at t...

Re Jackpot Allwin Identification
Actually, I think Oliver Whales made two versions of their Jackpot allwin, as there is another version which is called 'Double Jackpot' (see pic). I think the Double Jackpot was very late as it has a sweet payout. This was original to this machine and actually came with one other like it and another...

Hawtins were a company based in Blackpool and made various coin operated machines including a 'clutching hand' merchandiser, a jukebox, a steer-a-ball machine and the allwin you have. Wonders were a significant manufacturer of allwins and are noted not least for the risque trademark as evidenced on ...

I believe they are called pygmy light bulbs and they would usually be 7 1/2 or 15 watts depending on what they were lighting up and taking into account the heat the bulb would generate in the area it was situated. If you look on ebay at item 4409738572 I think the large base bulbs shown there are th...

Jukebox madness show changed dates
I hear that the show dates have been changed due to some booking duplication. So, the show is now planned for 22 and 23 October rather than 15/16 October as originally announced.

See the Gov'nor
Hi, does anyone know anything about this machine (i.e. manufacturer and date)? Also, if anyone has one, is there a chance of getting a picture of the insides as I fear this was one of those machine where the key was conveniently missing...and inconveniently some of the parts!

Just to balance the debate, I actually think the set up is very professional looking...and I admire your effort and results. Do wounder whether first time users will be confused about putting the cursor over the 'holes' when it refers to the gantry area, but that is probably being a bit pedantic on ...

repro ripplers
They are all definitely different listings. As far as I can figure, the first repro went for around the price you'd maybe expect for an original (if one ever came up!), so then everyone with a repro decided it was a good time to try and get a good price for theirs while the goings good! :O: However,...

Just what percentage of machines survive?
Probably totally impossible to answer really, but I'm curious to know what thoughts collectors have on the percentages of machines from the 30's 40's and 50's which have survived. Someone recently said to me that for 50's and 60's pinballs there was a view that maybe only 2% or so survived. Maybe th...
