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.

You beat me to it! I was thinking of Wookey as the only place I've seen one.

Looks like a repro to me!

I hope I can throw a bit of light on the subject of the savings clock (I know nothing about the other topic, I just do as I`m told, worked for the last 32 years!) I too own one. It is fed florins, which free the winding mechanism. Made by Time Savings Clock Company Limited and Metamec in the late fi...

Hi
This is all I can find from when I restored my clock years ago.

Click on the photo and it will open in another window bigger and you can enlarge it further. This is the front of the mech with the face removed.

The picture I posted was of an original Rippler from the Bryans museum. The Photo on Melyvn's site acredited to P. Barson is also an original. The repros appear to be very good, but I think that it is hard to fake 70 years of use, and they do look new. All adds to the fun. I am always willing to adm...

Is there ANYTHING you can`t do???

It looks like Formica to me, not metal, in which case it could well be 1960`s as the seller claims. I`m sure Bryans would have done whatever the customer wanted, and the operator may have thought it would make it look more modern against the newer bandits in formica like the "Duchesses". I...

I noticed it a week ago as I had the 2 mags side by side, but was too afraid to mention it after the last time you sent the boys round

I must admit I did not follow the link. I can`t get to their website either. I assume they are still trading as they advertise in Jerry`s mag. Failing that I would think one of the members with a lathe could turn you one out of brass rod, put a thread on it and then you could get it chromed. Might b...

Nostalgic machines do a chromed thumbstop.

There is another of those very rare slate print blocks on Ebay... don't all bid at once!
Jennings/ mills old one arm bandit print block RARE !!

There does appear to be a few ebay sellers who are somewhat economical with the truth, or perhaps inventive is a better word, in their descriptions. I see what tree-frog was referring to about the sunshine allwin description re "his brother" now I've read the description! I was also amused...

Are you sure it's the only one you look at every day??!!

Just came across this. http://cgi.ebay.com/Fortune-Teller-Costume-Adults-/400207422245?_trksid=p4340.m263&_trkparms=algo%3DSIC%26its%3DI%252BC%26itu%3DUCI%252BIA%252BUA%252BFICS%252BUFI%26otn%3D10%26pmod%3D140563015549%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D755304693841194580 Bet you all want one!!!

I happened to be watching it by chance. They annonuced the Electricity is life machine at the start so I kept watching. It was none other than Simon of Classic amusements selling it.

As Coin- op says there isn`t much to go on. No photos of the mech or even a decent one of the playfield. It looks to me like an Allwin de lux which has had Bryans chrome fitted to the outside, but it really is impossible to tell without seeing inside. The lock is at the top of the door, which I have...

Just wanted to say I enjoyed reading this months mag, some good articles, especially Stuarts Working Model project. I think it was a great sucess Stuart , well done. Perhaps we could have a bit more info, some photos and perhaps a video on this website? Well done Jerry for keeping the Mag going. !TH...

I would think it is John Hanson. He sells repro artwork on his website.
