One of Nic Costa's... Good book and certainly not just pictures.... Tries to cover the history or amusement machines, from victorian to mid twentieth century. Some of the chapters include... Wall Machines Working Models Viewers Vending Machines Fortune Tellers Shockers One arm Bandits Etc. Covers la...

Ahhh you mean the Running Hare... Love this machine, but no, don't have one or tokens (I wish).... Share a picture of your machine....

Well there you go, you need to listen to more than one expert....I would never have bid without twenty opinions anyway for this type of money, by which time if genuine everyone else would have outbid me anyway...

Still like these though....

Now this one has been mentioned, anyone can confirm the name of this Olly Whales machine, looks like a mini version of the Giant Allwin Defiant

Ah yes, it is very similar to a machine I acquired from an esteemed fellow collector with gold award, meters, chrome finish etc., etc.

Ahhh so I owe you a

By the way, I was trying to work out who that new member was to the forum, especially with such a high number of posts in such a short time,,,finally worked it out....are you incognito?

Yes there was an old thread, something to do with being more reliable, e.g. preventing jamming that often occurred, so I guess a competitor to the Shefras escalator. The chain ones you often see on Brit versions of the Sega Lite Up.

Quite a few lots are not filed as sold, of the machines I noted at least 4 allwins, the later ones, in fact all the later ones, which at the time I thought went cheap, they all end around £240 each or less....The Cricketers did not sell at around the £200 mark, even a poor condition Aristocrat at th...

A Dickie bird tells me the Mutoscope was the real deal and not a fake.....was a bargain for someone. Also the profit sharer was all there/complete.

Mmmmm, wish I had written them down, when they went beyond £400 I lost track....The British beauties I am sure went for around £500 notes, maybe wrong....The German shield catcher around the £560-£580 mark....Not sure what footballer game you refer to....

are you kidding!! 6 days in a top hotel in Brighton would cost you more than the flight and hotel in Chicago, £500 for the flight..you would spend that on an allwin!!! :roll: Mmmm not sure I would want to spend 6 days in Brighton, I was of course talking about a day trip on a coach and a few crates...

Do you recall what sort of money the Trade Stimulators went for? I placed a conservative absent bid on the 1 Cent Marvell and the IMP - will have to wait until tomorrow to find out if i won or not! Mark. Apologies, they are not my thing, but I do recall into the two hundred something. There were tw...

Well it was very very cold today at the Elephant today, should have worn tripple socks and sorry PM did not get there early enough to take pictures...only bought one project machine, the Duomat....In fact there was lots of projects there for those looking for a challenge, I assume something to do wi...

Well when I get around to restoring the one I bought at the Elephant auction today, I will let you know :lol: .....it was just the front, sides and the back all flat pack. The only missing wood being the rear top, which will be easy to make of cause not as seen or described in the advert, another go...

Seriously thought about going to Chicagoland a while back till I saw the airfares.....Perhaps a jolly boys outing to Brighton would be a cheaper alternative.....

I like these, but as Raj has suggested you need to be careful as with many of the German Wall machines, some of the components are not the most robust and faults of these will be be more difficult to address to due spares. Beromats are slightly less of an issue due to the numbers out there. Through ...

Topic merged and split - Site Admin. Missed the lots today at the Wallis Airship sale by 10 mins, as I fancied the Airship Profit Sharer. It ended up around £680, excluding commission - so around £800... I am sure one of you spotted this and hopefully obtained it, but more interesting was an Americ...

I am sorry to hear about this mate, I think you showed me this bandit when I bought a Hi Top if you a while back......That is a lovely looking Jukebox, will definitely keep my eyes peeled as I am your neck of the woods,

B*$st#@ds

Can't see a problem with the Allwin, but you've got a lot of silver hair in 12 months treefrog! Yes BP I bought that Allwin Deluxe, a Olly Whales I assume and totally different to the picture the seller sent JC (perhaps that my excuse for the grey hair, poor light :o ), I thought it was a different...
