Hoping to exhibit the machine a couple of times this year if I can get it finished, so please help me find one / reproduce one if you ...

Re: Building a Payramid

It is a shame that scratchbuilt is no longer around.His machines look amazing and I am sure we would all love to see some more pictures of his work. I am inspired to re-create some of my favorite machines now.... sadly I never seem to have enough time for all the projects I have on at once. I am sur...

Re: Hello from Blackpool

Hello Mr Admin,

It has taken me 11 years to build up my collection, which is probably a short time to some people on this message board?

I look forward to fully cataloging, photographing and filming all my machines, so stay tuned for more details

Hello urban_paranoia, nice to see a familiar person !THUMBS!

I can't wait till you manage to get one of these machines, so that I can come over and play on it. I have fond memories of these machines from when I was young.

Re: Southport Pier arcade pictures

I absolutely love this place. I keep managing to spend huge amounts of money there as I don't ever seem to win at anything (apart from when I got 2000 points on that SkyJump machine and got a manual payout of 3 pennies (much to the operators surprise).

Worth every (old) penny!

Re: Slots of Vintage Fun, Blackpool

I can't believe I missed this stall. What years was it open?

Hope he comes back soon (and hope they finish digging up the promenade one day, it seems to be never ending!)

Kind regards

Luke
