What's that wide vertical machine at the center of the photograph?

Also I'm confused by the sign that says

Re: La Puce, French cascade type

Thank you! This has been a great history lesson.
Can you give me links for Werner and Lourens?

Do you stick to these more reasonable German models or do you also collector the larger Finnish pajatso machines too?

Re: Tin Pan Alley

Does anyone have a gameplay video of this machine, or one with a similar mechanism? Curious as to the operation.

Re: Tin Pan Alley

Let's hope it has gone to someone who appreciates it, and not some Philistine who thinks it's OK to airbrush history to fit in with his own narrow viewpoint. Some people just don't want really racist stuff in their collection. We see this all the time in pinball collecting: Lots of great old games ...

Re: La Puce, French cascade type

I love these Cascade-style machines so much. Any chance you'd sell one of them? Happy to pay the international shipping. I saw a thread on pinside and a guy posted a photo from the basement of a German bar and I spotted a Wulff Totomat in the storage. https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/woodrail...

Re: Bradley/Whales: Ballwin, Baby Bradwin, Allwin De Luxe etc.

Check out this blinged out variant! Posted on a Facebook group, owner asked me to post them here. Apparently converted to American pennies, and has NYC written on the inside? Stained glass trim! I am assuming no way the paint or glass is original ;) Any thoughts? I kind of like its flamboyant style.

Re: My Youtube channel most popular machine

Funny story: This Cascade video is partially popular because I was sending it around to people. I sent it to over 20 people as an example of the game in my quest to try and find someone to sell me one! I failed. No one has come to sell me a Cascade yet (and ship it to Canada) and I'm super bummed ab...

1932 Genco Admiral

Thought you all might want to see my latest pintable since it has a metal loop reminiscent of a horizontally placed Allwin loop.
The ball can loop numerous times before falling.

Top pic is someone else's Genco O.K., just to show how they used the same mech in other machines.

Re: Bradley/Whales: Ballwin, Baby Bradwin, Allwin De Luxe etc.

I cannot see holes on the backboard of your Allwin where the cotter pins went through so assume the track on this machine used pins as part of the track and tapped in. If you compare my machine photo: 20191008_173025a.jpg vs the first photo in this forum: Ballwin.JPG you can really see how shoddy t...

Re: Bradley/Whales: Ballwin, Baby Bradwin, Allwin De Luxe etc.

Good to hear that retroarcade.co.uk supply allwin track. Was it expensive? You should get some idea of the track layout from the mech board, because it will have holes where the fasteners went in. Also look at the pictures in this topic for position of track ends etc. Does your new track come with ...

Re: Bell Fruit Cascade

Yeah, I am hoping to bring it on the plane with me in my hands, so that's why I'm looking for the exact dimensions to see if that's a possibility. One of these darn things has got to make it's way to North America somehow! I've given up hope on a pajatso proper, but Cascade is an exact copy of a 193...

Mine seems to use Canadian nickels ok.
Can you post a photo(s) of your money box? Mine is missing one.
