A very good replica has already been made, with specially composed authentic music.

I'm not impressed at all, slightly better head than the horrendous American revamped version, but still no skill game element of shooting the coin into the opening and closing mouth off a movable ramp which would actually involve some clever engineering. An opportunity missed, and nothing like the o...

too late now, your file has been released under the thirty year rule!

why not just visit here, have a holiday, and take one back with you, they're not particularly bulky or heavy ha, I wish! :) One day, we shall see. thanks for the invite. No worries, the site's Administrative Assistant Human Resources and Tourism officer will meet you at the airport. He will be the ...

I can't think of a better place for it to be!

do you work for HMRC?

I shipped the EH Prospector back from the US along with some other machines.
The exhibition photo and letter are great, I love the animated figures above the play field.

Like all good games it is addictive, the only downside from an operators point of view is that the motor is working all the time, as opposed to a tip the skittles which is stationary. I guess you could have a movement sensor that would stop the motor if no one was in the vicinity of the machine for ...

Here you go, locked in place with a removable bar that sits in a notch on the right and padlocks on the left. Let me know if you need dimensions etc. and I'll measure it accurately for you.

Now THAT'S an arcade filler!

You still can bring all kinds of fragile objects back in hand luggage with Virgin, and you can ask the cabin manager nicely before boarding if you can put it into the crew wardrobe. I've brought things back I could barely carry, that wouldn't even fit through the Xray machine and had to be hand chec...

The pre-war machine I have oddly has XXXXXXIII on the underside of the door.

It also seems to be the case with fortune tellers and working models, especially our overseas friends with massive collections. In the '90s and onwards, huge quantities of British models ended up being shipped out with no regard to maker, quality or rarity and used as fillers for games rooms or deco...

Action Line was by bell fruit. Dransfield did manufacture their own machines initially under Carfield and developed floor standing electromechanical/ early processor hybrid machines for their arcade and club operations that cleverly allowed them to change the glasses (and one quite basic pcb) with v...

Where is the good stuff?

It has a large front opening door in a floor standing cabinet with a mechanical reel mech and a relay tray below. Two very long plastic coin tubes with solenoid payouts. It has an electromechanical credit unit which steps up and back down again, handle pull at the side. It is an acquired taste. I re...
