Blimey if you've got it, it must be one of the most travelled machines around. It was on ebay a few times listed by someone in the west country and then resurfaced listed a couple of time by one of our regular contributors in the north east. I think it has a look of the NSM Super Match or Jamieson M...

probably went cheap because being English it's right hand drive!

Looks remarkably similar to a Buckingham I had and although I don't have a pic I think Paul Coppin restored one and posted pics here.

I have seen one locally on a different theme (it may have been basketball), they wanted £150 for it, I wasn't interested but I have a vague recollection they are made in Italy

You don't see one for ages then they appear all over the place.

I think the difference between coin insert on "d" and winning display on "p" plus the "Telstar" glass appearing to be too big for the aperture might be enough to alert even my novice eye.

should this not be under the MENSA section of the forum?

Nearest I can get is £4 8s 6d or a gazillion

sorry gents, it has disappeared from Ebay and my lack of tech skills in uploading a pic has saved you all nightmares. the link going to 6 items is an Ebay thing. When they de-list something it stays in the search results for a while but when you click on it it sends you to "this listing has bee...

Blimey, you wouldn't want to stand in front of that too long, worst colour scheme I've ever seen

Thanks for that, I'm not bald, it's just that I'm 6 foot 3 and my hair thinks I'm 6 foot 4.

Cheap patsy fair on ebay tonight Who got it I rang the owner Sounded foreign and shady As he would not give me the area he lived Just south east london of course it's entirely possible there is an innocent seller in South East London who thinks a "foreign and shady" i.e. Scouser and Jingl...

no help on the machines but I will comment on the rhyming of "Lydia" with "EncylopIDDIA", now that is art worthy of praise, not entirely unrelated to your perceived or actual mental state I offer the following which for me is perhaps the greatest pun ever produced https://www.you...

I think "Aristocrat" in this instance is a red herring and is the name of an equipment distribution company in Cockermouth.

is this the "Easy Perm" Allwin not one of their's then?

I had seen the identical ad on Gumtree by Scottie but being old enough and wise enough not to go into print before checking my memory I had another look and noticed the accompanying map showing the advertiser's location was Buckingham Palace. My sixpence is on Scottie actually being a Corgi.

been a while since we had such a strong contender for the title "Ugliest Beromat Derivative" but here it is.

Welcome Bedbug, an American friend of mine used the expression "crazier than a bedbug", I hope it's not you. Anyway, don't be thrown by the Greaves Amusements name, they will just be the suppliers, operator, etc; your machine is actually manufactured by Bally and is just one of myriad vari...

you mean Monty Python as in the musical "Spam a Slot"

two pulls for a shilling reminds me of a girl I knew at school for some reason

The EBay seller is offering 50 x pennies for £7.99 or 100 @ £20.00. It's a new kind of reverse discounting policy started by some supermarkets I think.
