You can carefully remove the worst of distortion from the tins in place, with a careful adjustment/gentle twist. If you are a perfectionist (or they are made of plastic), then try and find replacements, but most older machines have a slight bit of distortion... I don't own Jubilees, but if plastic, ...

Pretty obvious really, "0" as ebay will remove the listing for non compliance......those special words are not there

There is one of these for sale in Germany at the moment as the pictures below, but have only just seen PM's you tube video of one in operation. What a sweet little machine, with that wonderful noise when a target is hit from the piston. As below, looks like a clock mechanism times the hare motion I ...

Based on the below previous thread, it is made by Streets. Tempting but as the seller says, it is big and, of course, not working.

The prices are a reflection of the ridiculous charges, I know they have a name, but that cannot justify 25% + Vat.....their London auction houses are even higher..... I am still a big fan of no buyers commission, but just a seller one, that use to happen....you get the punters in then. I assume Elep...

I saw that and was tempted as this model looks a lot smaller and nice with the rotary escalator...

A cracking looking shooter game appeared in Germany last week, made by Mutoscope around 1940.... Fantastic artwork.....These seem to have been popular during the war and there are a lot of write ups of them on the Billboard magazine....shame the seller removed this from auction..I wonder is any of t...

I always get the wife to move my machines :lol: NOT! I am still waiting for this film to appear on TV, as I am sure I have seen this before, and trying to work out if they were models of machines or superimposed (unless they had been drinking Irn Bru) !PUZZLED! These Bell-Fruit machines are beasts,...

Didn't look at the price ticket, most of which were either not there or faded, but looking at the site, looks like their one was a lower quality item not in a wooden box: http://www.junktionantiques.co.uk/gallery3/index.php/Toys/Electric-Speedway-Game There were a few slots machines there that are n...

What is silly though, when you click on the link to the gaming commision site is states: Gaming machines (fruit machines, slot machines) at home You can own gaming machines for your private use, as long as you are the only person who plays them.

I assume he is talking about the Roll-a-top repro on ebay, with a Jubilee mechanism...,,currently at 780 quid

Topic merged - Site Admin Don't know if this has always been there and I have never come across it (unlikely as I have bought many machines on ebay), but tonight for the first time when bidding on a machine, I got an intermediate warning sign about bidding on a machine sold by someone without a lic...

All I know about BGL of London is they produced the only known electric wooden boxed game based on speedway (I only know this because I'm a fan of speedway and its history). As far as I can remember this game was made about 1936 (could well be wrong on that). https://pennymachines.co.uk/Forum/downl...

Topic moved & merged - site admin. To most probably pretty dull, but I have always liked some of the English 50s/60s creations based on German or American mechanisms....This machine on US fleabay, to me looks very English and based on an old penny coinage with the 12 coin payout... Very similar...

There is one on youtube from Wookey Hole Caves Penny Arcade, a Stevenson and Lovett Super Steer a Ball, early fifties I guess..... If you search the site there is another link on someone restoring artwork (merged - Site Admin.) . Certainly looks worth restoring, especially if all there.. https://www...

This machine was at the Elephant House Auction a couple of times and never sold or reached it's estimate, this ties in with the Leamington Spa address of the seller, well you can't say they are not trying hard to sell their scrap metal, perhaps a bell would help....

You know when your hobby has become too much of a sad obsession when one can profess the variances of models of a machine produced in their thousands, I wonder if I am turning into the bloke shown on channel 4 "obsessive collecting disorder" where he had two houses stacked to the ceiling w...

Suspect a few are trying to pay for Xmas, a lot of machines hit ebay over the weekend, including a few from Coventry, including a PESSERS MOODY WRAITH & GURR machine looking for a healthy profit. Also a S&L Fireworks. Pickwick http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/230734744489?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&a...

Bear in mind when converting a machine to current coinage, chances are it won't remain current for long. Consider how the 50p, 10p, 5p have changed since decimalization. The 5p and 10p are changing again, becoming slightly thicker as nickel plated steel replaces pricey copper: Coin change 'running ...
