Re: Printing a backflash

I've done a few for people Scottie in the UK. I use an Epson wide format printer and print on a good quality matte photo paper ( 230gsm ) and then laminate both sides to make it more stable. They seen to be wearing well in use. You just need to take a few reference dimensions from your original to h...

Suddenly George Michael doesn't sound so bad! ( I think I'd settle for Bowie though )

Re: the buckingham

I have one with three swans on the belly glass, rather than the Mad faces. It's not perfect and has had a bit of retouching but it's pretty good. Might be a couple of days before I get a chance to dismantle it and get it on the scanner. Out of interest how do you plan to reproduce it? ...tricky job.

It came from some of the final items of stock that a house clearer has had stored in an old cottage oop here in N Norfolk.

Disc-o-games

Not coin operated, but I just wonder if anyone had ever come across this game before. Its tinplate and is just over 10" diameter and shaped rather like a large crown cap from a beer bottle. Its really well made with a nice flywheel on the small spinner and lead weights to make the big arrow spi...

Lovely looking machine ....well saved! **xXx** Tragic to think there are machines like this still being skipped. As Paul said I'm sure there will be help available here.

Re: Electrodart

Glad to hear that at least one of them has come home to Norfolk Junior!

Some chap called Stuart has an excellent video of a sister machine.



Hopefully he will be along soon with lots of advice. Are you far from us up here on the North Norfolk coast?
