Fruit Bowl Frenzy!!!
Fruit Bowl Frenzy!!!
Liberated from an arcade this week was not one but TWO Bryans Fruit Bowls!! Apparantly these had served three generations of the same family of showmen. Now who knows where I can get some oak veneered plywood sheets cut to size???

Veneered ply
Look in the archive under services. There is a link to a supplier. I have not used them personally.
Could you not try to let in some oak veneer to the bits that are missing? May be worth a try, rather than making a new mech panel? I have repaired a couple of Bryans machines with areas of missing veneer in that way. Keeps the machine a bit more original, but I am over fussy!
Good luck

Hi again, Ian and thanks once more for the tip off on these!! I haven't touched them yet apart from have a play now and again. They both play and pay although a little erratic which is not unusual for Bryans spinning games! I'm still in two minds whether to replace or repair the damage to veneered fronts. It would be a lot easier to replace but I don't want to lose originality...decisions, decisions! Glad to hear you got your hands on another machine...maybe you could post a photo on here?!!
All the best.
Terry.
