The Gambling Commission are overstretched and undermanned as a direct result of a lack of funding of their own making since they were meant to be funded in part by the amusement arcade industry they have managed to destroy

Should be a little easier to find an empty Bullion cabinet than a handle!

Excellent!

I used to operate a 2 player Countdown pusher on old 10p, very reliable in that it never jammed from the slot to the deck as coins just drop straight down. The 2 player version also fits through most standard door sizes. I recall another operator got into trouble with these, tearing ten pound notes ...

Great eBay story BP. I was hoping for just a tad more, say a cryptic clue on the 'collector' who originally bought it from you, especially if still around now!
Now that my Ellery Queen box set has run out it would help to brighten up the day.

Strangely that's also the same technique used in professional spray tanning by using the Vaseline as a barrier cream on finger nails and between fingers to achieve a natural tanned look!

Remember when they sent John Prescott off to the USA to research super casinos? The combination of naivety from the Labour government and very well funded lobbying from the bookmakers persuaded Labour to jump at the chance of a new lucrative duty revenue stream they could get by allowing bookmakers ...

Dr Chapman appears to be yet another academic out of touch with the real reason the amusement industry is in terminal decline. Yet again no mention in the report of the impact of the change in the law in 2007 allowing the bookmakers a spectacular advantage over amusement arcades, to operate fixed od...

I'm away on holiday in the US currently but will look at uploading a video of it working at some point.

I bought this. I think the reason it didnt show up well on eBay was the very long and odd description they gave. It had been donated to the charity listing it to sell. I had intended to pay more for it and they told me when I collected that they were disappointed it hadn't made more, so I made an ad...
