Here is a patent for the Essex Monkey Climber race game: Pat no GB349114 by Gordon Smith

My first instinct was British, then I waivered to the US, but then came back to good old blighty. I have discussed this machine with a couple of collectors, and we all have come to the same conclusion, independently. I thought they would have posted by now, but they haven't, so I will. I think it wa...

There is a Roll a Win Double Player on eBay if anyone is interested:

I must admit I would be cautious of any dealings with the seller on eBay. I notice the Bryans machines are "sold" on Melvyns site but still on offer on eBay? Also why did he make such a big issue of selling the machines as 1 lot and then appears to be accepting bids on single items? I say ...

I was just going to post a long reply when I saw coin-op`s post which said it all and saved me a lot of time!

It is usually the SELLER that cites the rarity value. There was a time that I thought all machines were called rare something or other!!!! A much misused term IMO.

lol + being rather new to all this i'm just knocked out by some of the prices that emerge, my quest/research initially being to try and grasp some idea of the true values on all these lovely machines, it's a slow process but i'm gradually getting there, this buckley bones being a gem among gems had...

" Well sort of, unfortunately Bryans made rubbish bandits and Jennings were crap at Allwins" .. Thank you Tommy COOPER!

I bought my wife the Ice Hockey game from Coventry Auction, but she doesn`t seem to want it so I`ll have to have it! Shame!

Is it me or are slot machines doubling up as toasters these days??

I agree with everthing he said!
We could also use Jerry`s mag to advertise stuff for sale. If the mag is not supported I doubt Jerry will be able to afford to keep it going, despite him being an eccentric millionaire. ( Well eccentric anyway )

Hi Darren, Looks a fantastic Arcade, well done! For what it's worth, my advice would be to talk to other operators. After collecting machines for 20 years, early on I realised that an operator has a very different view of slot machines to a collector. If you are able to, talk to the people who can g...

I see the results are in! Someone`s been busy! The results , plus a photo
( many taken on the day) of a large number of the lots, are now in the Arena.
Many thanks for all your hard, unpaid work, Mr PennyMachines.

They certainly look a challenge !

Well spotted BP, not had time to have a look yet , but I`m sure it will prove interesting.

I expect the results will appear in the Arena in due course along with the Coventry auction. Having had a great weekend the previous week, and based on the fact there were so many non slot, off topic lots, I too decided not to go. The hammer prices reflect what reserves the seller sets, and often lo...

Just got home yesterday and this is the first chance to get online. I thought that the auction was really great this year, and well run. There seemed to me to be the best selection of machines we have ever had. I thought that the prices on the whole were a bit down, but I thought that the reserves m...

I think you have totally misinterpreted coin-op`s posts, and I was most surprised by your post! I have alway thought coin-op goes out of his way to help people with his replies. I have been collecting machines for 20 years and know very little about bandits, or American machines in general.
