Hello Splitpin,
You are welcome, By the way the 5 cent and a new penny are the same size across the new penny is a little thicker if that helps.
regards JRA.

Hello Splitpin,
Have you tried Crow River Trading? they have a selection of coin slides similar to what you are looking for (may need some adapting).
Regards JRA.

Badpenny, If you have a soft spot for trade stimulators then I must have an obsession, currently my collectin is one hundred plus at the last count two of which are Grotchen "21 "s The mech fitted to the side of the case is not unusual in trade stimulators but it makes them a bit awkward t...

Hi splitpin,
I have a few cards for this machine. If you let me have an address, I will send you two or three.
You may then be able to get some printed at a local printers. Hope this is of some help.
Regards JRA.

Hello Markymark, I have bought about 20-25 machines from the States over the last couple of years and never had a problem. Postage varies from £30 to £150 depending on size and weight. The killer is the VAT@ 20% on top of the purchase price and on top of that Parcelforce charge £8 handling fee. So a...

Hello all, I have for some time wanted to add a Columbia to my collection but have been told to make sure to check it throughout because the machines are made of pot metal and are prone to breaks and cracks, also the round escalator can be very troublsome if not in working order. So far I have not f...

Hello Badpenny,
Thank you for the explanation, Point taken.
Regards jra.

Hello all AGAIN, Having read all the comments regarding the auction I can understand the reasons for the one a year approach (costs etc) So if two a year is not possible why not alternate between north and south every other year? Just a thought. Regards JRA.

Hello Slotties everywhere,



Whats up with two auctions a year one north one south?
Regards jra.

Hello All, It was interesting to note in the Bones information 'No Time Wasters'. Does this only apply to prospective buyers and not to sellers? :evil: I for one had put a substantial bid in for the machine only to be let down at the last moment. Still another one to add to my 'do not deal with' list.

Hello,
Thank you Pennymachines and Ballymad for your information I found it very useful.
Just as a matter of interest I wonder if you know what it went for at the auction in Fife?
Jra.

Hi spintop, The picture is the same machine pictured by Ballymad so it has travelled a long way from Fife to Kent. The dealer was the same miserable sod you spoke to, camel coat and all. Mind you, he cheered up a bit when I got my money out. Sorry I pipped you to the post, better luck next time. Reg...

Hello, I too saw a green trade stimulator called "Barn Yard Golf" at The Detling antiques fair on Saturday. After a quick look over it I decided it was a bit strange but did not think it was a repro. Anyway after a bit of a think I bought it. When I returned home I did some investigation w...

Hello Bandito, Thank you for this piece of information. I actually use this site a lot when buying trade stimulators to check pictures and prices. My main collecting items are stimulators, so I am always interested when something different appears, hence my original question on these pages. I have s...

Hello all, Thank you all for your interest in my question and the replies received.My first thought was that the machine was a Daval 21 that had been got at and was really asking for confirmation from anyone with more knowledge than myself if this was the case. I would like to make it clear that I w...

Thank you Mr Moderator for light let off I feel much better now and will take you up on your offer to submit any future questions.

Thank's everyone, I will remember that in future.

Thank you Mr Moderator for that information. I am surprised that with all the experts out there, none of them have come across this model before. Thank you anyway.

Has anyone any idea which model of DAVAL lot number 60 is in this month's auction as I cannot seem to find it in any books I have.
