I do collect coin in the slot machines other than those made by Bryans! A few years ago I bought this disc player from an Elephant House Auction. It's probably the oldest machine I own, being late 1890s and, after quite a lot of work, plays very well. 20240120_101056a.jpg 20240120_101110a.jpg Whilst...

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

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.

Doesn't work for me.

That spike on the face of the nob looks brutal and would take some explaining to the parents of the kiddy with the caved in forehead.

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!

Not working for me. Asking for me to subscribe.

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.
It can be seen in this original Bryan's Flyer.

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.

It's available from Carters website or joyland books. Just google it.

I have used this company several times for various vintage fixings. They also trade on ebay

I too thought the plane looked a bit crude, and it doesn't appear to be chromed. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/176015368544?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=Sd7tzcBpT52&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=bggMw0iLRp2&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY This is on ebay at pr...

You are not the only one in that boat coin-op!! I have "one" or "two" projects that have been waiting a good few years! Hoping to get on with them soon
Mind you, I don't think we are the only ones!

My first pint in around 1972, Ansells mild, was 12p.

I had to delete cache/cookies for it to work ok.

The Jennings seems cheap to me, but I know very little about bandits!
How come the Embassy cigarette vendor sold twice in the month and for half the price 2nd time around?

I'm pleased to see that, in the background of the first picture, you still have a land line!

I'd never heard of a "heller" , as written by the coin slots. A quick search revealed : "What is a German Heller? heller (plural hellers) (historical) A German coin equivalent to half a pfennig, later used widely as a small coin in Central Europe and the German Empire. A subdivision o...
