Re: Arcade Photographs
I`ve not seen that one before. But by a strange coincidence I own a real photo which is very similar!

Re: Nice row of cast iron machines
I have talked to sweetmeats about this machine. I believe this is the Clacton p/c we looked at. I still can't make out the wording. The machine does appear on several p/c's in my collection, but these are the clearest images I have.

Have you been at the sherry already?
By the way here's a "K" I think you must have dropped one.
Hope you all have a very Happy New Year!

Re: Bryans Gapwin Project
As usual PM beat me to it, mind you I was safely tucked up in bed when I read BP`s post and too tired to answer!
The thumb stop position in the oak is definitely correct. I have several machines with this feature.

Re: Bryans Rockets for restoration on ebay
Great find treefrog. Looks to be all there, will make a super machine when finished. You are lucky the bead and barrel moulding is mostly there round the ply front. It`s impossible to find!

I agree JC, the option to buy from PM was suggested in the first reply by 13rebel, so I assumed that led77 had tried that.
