Re: The Machine You All love to Hate !!

Those figural bandits, originally carved of wood by Frank Polk in the early '50s (and sold by Skelly's Character Manufacturing Company of Reno, Nevada), then from the late '70s by Mannie Sanchez of Trinidad, Colorado and later yet, by numerous others, often in fibreglass. I like wood carvings, slot machines and cowboys, but put them all together and you have 18 carat garbage.
Just my opinion !!ESCAPE!!

I think Mr PM's choice wins by a short head over the Golden Nugget ( sorry, out of stock ;-) . I've got some fantastic machines coming ( sometime from somewhere) and they are all available for lots of money. I'll put some library pictures on the website to wet the taste buds and offer free delivery too. !!HAHA!!

I'm guessing it's this one Mills Golden Nugget on ebay

I don't think it's too bad, looks much better now than it did before (if it is the one above).

It is that one. Quite a few part changes. I'm not mad about it, but it was interesting, and it will sell I think.

Winner of the most hideous bandit ever is?

Topic merged - site admin.

This has just got to be the worst ever. A Powell's Jubilee revamp repainted in one of those weird colours found in the recycling centres. Apologies if it belongs to a forum member.

I agree, this is very nasty, but I was pleased to see it on ebay as it makes the one I'm selling at the moment look almost nice !!THUMBSX2!!

No need to be coy, you know yours is very seductive whilst the Jub. is just an expensive tart.

I'd take yours home to meet mother.

ps .... may I comment on your impeccable manners in only drawing our attention to this after somebody else raised the subject. !SMARTY!

This has got to be the worst Beromat conversion ever produced in the history of slots, probably has Formica sides and should have been left in the barn! !BOGROLL!
Vintage arcade penny slot machine on 1d play
Old penny play slot machine

No locks but all seems complete

It is interesting that this is clearly a working machine, as described by the seller, and yet it has got through the ebay police cordon !PUZZLED!

There is an alternative ...... just change what you collect, there are other just as exciting collections out there ......

This is a meeting of Banana Label Collectors, and let's be honest do they look any stranger than the photos I took of us at Coventry last year?
What's more, not a hernia between them, and I bet oodles of spare room at home.

Toilet Seats

I was thinking of collecting e-petitions until I found this site and was insulted to find we weren't there!

You've almost converted me BP.
Not sure which I prefer - the toilet seats or this slot machine.

Ignoring the dire case, there seems to be the guts of an old coin drop machine that could be restored to something resembling its former self, with a little effort.
