Re: Brenner "Ball Past The Arrow"

I have one which has been in storage for fifty years in a hotel.
The previous said they thought that it had been purchased new along with another Brenner machine in 1966. So it had only been used for four years. I found accounts for the takings in the cashbox.

Re: J & M Triomphe + Schülke Loreley shooters

Thanks for the great info and pictures. Does not look like I will be finding a gun any time soon!
Love the coinslot with double slot, don't think I have seen another for different size coins for the same value.

I do have a shooter which I presume is German but made for the British market, as on old penny, and has the word light on the gun slot casting. Any connection to yours? I am looking for a gun or a picture of one for this.

Re: Mills Hi Top

That's correct, also the coin chute which sides on top of the jackpot is wider. I seem to remember that the front casting is also deeper, I think!

Finally dug out the J&M Giganta. Got to say that it's well engineered and different from the usual mechanisms.

Re: LOCK DOWN TIME!

I have one of these which was in storage for at least sixty years and, I believe, all original apart from the motor. The top pediment is a bit different.

Re: Burstow and Hewlett Sale

I was bidding on the footballer as I was arriving in Plymouth on one of the last ferries out of Spain! Didn't really want to fetch it though, so stopped bidding early. Just wished they had postponed the auction.
