Re: Green Ray Television restoration

Thank you Tim. So it would seem 30 cards was the full 'standard' set from Automatic Supplies of Birmingham, although one or two other printers produced variants.

Re: Essex Football & Ahrens Great Polo Game identified

I think the inner castings are mostly aluminium, and the outer fittings might be plated brass? Additional to the other suggestions, regular squirts of penetrating oil might help. The key will be patience; don't try to rush it. Keep trying to gently work pieces free after a few weeks soaking, wigglin...

Re: Green Ray Television restoration

I have been lucky enough to own at least 4 green rays over the years The second one pictured has now resided with me for a decade or so... Still got lots of cards somewhere It would be cool to record all the different cards on here. Maybe just a text record. I believe Clive Baker improvised a few n...

How to modify your profile

Jimmy asked the following and, as it's not obvious, I thought a public reply might be helpful: I'm probably missing something but how do you modify your profile details. I found how to swap Avatar but thought it was about time to update my machine list. When you're logged into the Forum, find the dr...

Arena etc. login problem

There is currently a problem with logging into all areas other than the Forum. This appears to be caused by a recent software update. I'm working on it and will report back once it's resolved. |/XX\|

Yes I do have the cabinet also. That's good. :cool: So from the pictures you can see that it was converted? We know it was converted from the old penny because Whales ceased production well before British currency went decimal. We know it wasn't originally a Have a Go because of the gift pay mechan...

Re: Need a Guru
