Re: Chrome??? Sprays... Any Good?

Hi Mark, Having only used a chrome spray a couple of times, they are OK, but proper chrome looks a million times better!!! The spray is a bit dull compared to chrome but not bad for smaller parts. Hope this helps :!?!: P.S. Let's hope they come up with a decent chrome spray sooner than 10 years !!ID...

Jennings Governor Consol Budha

Never seen anything like this before, not sure I like it.

Half old mechanical style, half horrible Formica style

What do you think of it?

Re: old pictures of odd slot machines

Think it may be a Jennings Export Chief.
Can just see the name in the top window of the machine as well.

The one in your picture has something covering the jackpot window, probably so they didn't have to worry about the jackpot jamming/refilling etc etc...

A couple of pics of a similar looking machine for you. It's red but I think they also came in blue.

Backflashes

Hi, I have seen a few people reproduce thier tatty old backflashes to a great standard from time to time and have never known how they manage to do this. Anyone who has done this in the past or knows how, could you give me a run through of how to do it? Do you need a particular type of scanner? Or a...

Re: Watling Roll A Top Repro

If you are a subscriber to MMM, you will be able to see in the adverts pages that someone is selling a reproduction Watling Rol-A-Top.

Just thought I'd mention it if anyone is actually interested in buying one.

Re: Bryans Walden Goliath Crane on Ebay-USA

Just a thought,

Did this crane split in half so that it could be moved easier like the Bryans Foursquare?

These cranes are huge aren't they? So would've been hard to move or even deliver, wouldn't it? :-?

Re: Bryans Walden Goliath Crane on Ebay-USA

£40 back in 1936 must have been a huge amount!!
Which was more desirable do you think, the manual or the electric? :)
