I think 9 balls and 5/16ths.

Ah Yes .Sorry. Do You think I am right about the back cloth?

oops. his as in Bryans fan.

Hi Widget. I have a worlball.Original condition but with a previous owner's half hearted attempt to restore chrome bits. I am over 90% sure that the back cloth is not painted but pre-coloured leatherette ( ie synthetic not real leather ). It is a light green and not the darker colour on the elephant...

I Like that. A lot of the traditional advent calendars had 24 windows with a few 25 and now more with 25. The actual religious period varies.

Ah. My comment fell on stony ground.....

Would love to see the link but not showing ( at least not to me ). Any chance of putting it up again ?
Thanks

Whoops. Not even at drinks time. I meant of course coppinpr.

Well, as always coppinger has done a brilliant job of restoration. Also, I may be in a minority but I like the machine with its unusual design and the bold colours and motif.

Some of you may remember Roy Brooks a remarkably honest estate agent (Yes true Guv ! ) and his most famous book " Brothel in Pimlico ". He made his reputation by being brutally honest and quite often rude about the houses ( and their owners ). He was very successful and buyers and sellers ...

I hadn't realised you could paypal. Donate site asks too much info for me. Anyway a modest donation sent. Good luck Stuart.

Wow! Just Wow!! I found this utterly fascinating. Mr Penny Machines, this man deserves a medal.

Restoration's looking great and a great find too. Are you going to detail here any of the tasty looking machines in the background.......?!!!

I received my last mag yesterday.Will be sorely missed. Informative. Helpful. Sometimes funny.For a modest unskilled collector like myself has been invaluable. Reading others' memories of various arcades very nostalgic for me. Thanks Jerry. A great deal of hard work for little reward. All I can say ...

Just amazing !!! I don't suppose you carefully prepared instructions/ guide for those far less talented ? And assuming not would you consider it ?!! Is your motor 240v or stepped down?
