Hello Badpenny You said to mention wants in advance of Sundays sale. I am looking for a complete Watling Rol-A-Top mechanism on any denomination. I know that there are very few Watling mechanisms about. I would be willing to pay around £500 - £600 if the mechanism is complete and the escalator works...

Hi Jerry

I would be interested in issues 91-96
Thanks, Laurence

Thanks for letting me know. If anyone has spare copies of issues 91-96 then please can you get in touch with me.

Does anyone know if there is anywhere in London that I can buy a quantity of US quarters? I am looking for at least a quanitity of 100 or 150. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks, Lol

I am a newbie and this is my first post. I am looking to purchase a Bird of Paradise Rol a Top. I know this particular machine commands a high price and within reason I am prepared for that. What I am after is a European Rol that is fully loaded. So skill stop, gold award, mint vendor....... I live ...
