And some rare classics next to it: the Pendulum, Postcard Vendor, Prize Finder, All Square wooden & metal cranes, plus Peep Show, Clock, Payramid and All Sport.

A red herring, I suspect.

I think we're getting warmer... Glenvil One Shilling GlenvilTokens.jpg Made by Glenvil Press and Coin Automatics, Hull, Yorkshire, UK. Designed by J. Lennard who was the sole proprietor. Minted by The Mint, Birmingham and thought to be around 200,000 that were minted. https://en.numista.com/catalogu...

So it was as in your first picture (similar to a couple of others on this page)?

I don't, any more than, "the BBC never does any of their own research". 'All' and 'never' are hyperbolic.

Does this fellow need to curb his enthusiasm?



Happy Easter!

Are you saying if the BBC had contacted you and asked if that estimate was likely to be correct you would have said yes? Nope. I said I saw no fault in them factually reporting what the auctioneer thought the machines might sell for. Canvassing slot machine collectors' opinions on whether the aucti...

trust the BBC to have no idea, take what they were told as fact and do no checks of their own... I wouldn't expect the BBC to second guess auctioneer's estimates. Besides, who would they check with? I'm not sure you or I could have confidently predicted the outcome with games that haven't passed ha...

Thanks BryansFan.

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. Sweetmeats has sent hi-res scans of the set which I'll put up next week. Although the ink's purple, we think it's because the green pigmen...

Seems this option was switched off.
Should work now.

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...

Hopefully OK now.

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...
