Re: Picking locks
Thanks Treefrog. I bought it locked with no key. I have a couple of machines with keys but they dont fit. I have started to take the back off so will probably proceed that way. This machine is a Shefras and if anything the key blade is a little smaller than the Whales at first glance. More experimen...

Picking locks
Anyone got any tips on picking allwin door locks? Mine just seem to have one notch on the simple blade keys, do they ever have more than one notch. I'm hoping they are fairly easy to make if you can find the position of that notch.

Re: Need a Guru
Could anyone with a 'Win a Gift' or 'Win a Prize' tell me the dimensions of the white box that is dispensed please? It's looking more like this machine was probably more like a choc bar of some sort.

I might try the oxalic acid, thanks. It's a Whales 24 winning cup, large case. Cheers

Removing oak stains
I'm currently refinishing an oak allwin cabinet that's had a hard life. At some point in its life on both sides of the top the first couple of inches have had a varnish (the light part where the varnish has dribbled down a bit) and the bottom half has been stained darker. I'm trying to blend it all ...

Oliver Whales 'Each Way' Allwin
Topic merged - Site Admin. I've been asked to produce replacement artwork for an 'Each Way' horse racing allwin. I've found a couple of source images but nothing too clear as it's a fairly detailed silkscreen. Has anyone got one in their collection by any chance? I saw one was sold in auction in 20...

Re: Allwin Double Your Money
I've got 2 locks with no keys and I'm just in the process of trying to fix one. I bought 2 blanks and I've split the lock by grinding off the 2 tabs. It's a very simple 2 lever mechanism but I can see there are a variety of combinations and it's going to be quite a precise job to get the right degre...

Re: Whales Win a Chew backflash
Thanks Scottie. I have a pretty clear pic of your version that I'm working on now, but I think I just about have enough of mine left to try and keep it to the original design. I just need to go to my newsagents now with a ruler to measure his chewing gum!

Re: Whales Win a Chew backflash
Interesting that Scotty's was for the sugar coated gum, mine was for the foil covered sticks. It will be interesting to see how much they have changed in size.
