Selling in general auctions such as auction houses listed on the saleroom are no better. I recently sold a slot machine in Sheffield Auction Gallery and on their internet link achieved a bid of £250 which was OK ish but you have to wait up to a month to be paid which it was, and the deduction was ov...

You really are a credit to this site, I honestly appreciate all your help. Thanks yet again Dicky, I'll push on with it now.
Cheers to you
Kind regards,
Larry.

Well thanks very much Dicky, that's very kind of you. As I said, I urgently require a transformer for one of these machines I am working on and, seeing as I have had no luck at all in finding one, I will wander into Maplins next time I'm in town to see if I can match one up to your figures (unless s...

Hi that's a much needed great piece of work. My Autofruit needs a transformer which I am having trouble in finding by the way. My question is, am I right then in thinking that the output from the transformer is 12 volts?
Thanks again.

I once bought a camera like that!

Thanks, that's quite an interesting snippet on my 3 Bells. I haven't touched it yet as I'm as always on with another machine at the moment, but in any case I can't source a transformer for it yet. Has anyone got a transformer by any chance?

I did bid on this charity entered machine but chickened out at £375. Just too much to do, but a memory jerker from my youth. P.S. I once bought a "CLOCK" with a cracked case from a charity shop in York, so they do come up at these shops now and again.

Take a look a RDS SALEROOM on the Isle of Wight.There are many quite interesting slots coming under the hammer this week. It doesn't seem to say where they are from, but maybe someone on here knows.

Interesting machine.There is a box containing the front and some of the internals of one of these machines in Tennants auction rooms in York on the 7th June with an estimate of £80 if anyone is interested.

Sorry I can't reply to that.

Totally agree, I've let items run their course only to lose out but that's the word AUCTION ! They are all at it on ebay, I was within a whisker of buying a Jag yesterday after bidding many times during the 9 day auction only for the vendor to remove it at the last minute. When I looked back at his ...

The Penny bowl was taken off due to lack of bids (11pounds or so )I think size and weight puts a lot of us off bidding on this type of machine. The Tooti Fruity made 332 pounds. I have bought from this seller before and his machines tend to be clean and work well. If I didn't already have a tooty fr...

Finally got the machine home and it looks almost original particularly the front glass and the uni selectors seems good. No makers name but very much in the style Electrodart /Jamesons. Leaf switches only need a clean. However the bottom of the cabinet is damaged on the underside but is a fairly pra...

Hi,
I've just bought this machine from the person who bought it off Ebay on Friday. I haven't seen it in the flesh yet but I will pick it up this week. I can't understand the prices yet as I have bought it for £160. I'll report on condition and front glass when I pick it up.

Not the same thing, but after my Mum died, I was clearing her house and her bedside table had a wobbly leg that for twenty years had been wedged with a folded ten bob note. Bit of a character my Mum was.

Bargains can be found elsewhere though. Just missed a Bryan's clock online in Chippenham auction house selling at £140. Always miss a bargain I do.

Lets face it Ebay is just a waste of time. The number of times I have had bidders spoil the end of one of my multibid auctions by not paying is unbelievable. You have to open an unpaid item case which always ends in Ebay simply telling them not to do it again. They take the commission for the sale f...

Is this the one that was in a general auction this week ? Looks great.

Ha hahahaha,this is a bit like a bar of Fry's five boys. [someone explain what that is to the younger ones]

Well,politicians are strange because Bill Clinton swears that Monica must be deaf cause he actually said to her "sack my cook ! " lol
