Mmm something ain't right with this posting. He joins the community to post a single message, somewhat cryptic, he's spent time on research using tax calculator... No response from him, no pictures!!! Without sounding too simple.. would he not just phone tax office and ask the question, it's not roc...

Bump!
Any news from the EH stable... Gloria's Health? and the Future of the Auctions?

LOL... It appears the seller did the rounds and contacted everyone hoping to get big bucks. He made out he knew nothing about it and inherited it. I bought one of these front pull Caille machines 3 years ago for £700 in full working order with all vendor bits too! Good luck if someone paid a grand!!!

Re Slots of Fun. I actually chose the name from a casino on the Vegas strip of the same name. As for the sign treefrog I think I did try and bid on that or one like it at EH.. Bah! I got out bid!!!

Contact me thru email re repair.

...rumours of my demise are greatly exaggerated...lol :HaHa: Apologies to those who have been trying to contact Slot Machine Depot, but as some of you are aware for the past 9 months I've been busy restoring several slots for a private collector, wish I could say which machines as they were all pre-...

Has anyone seen or held a reel from a Mutoscope? Just wondered if the cards alternate with blank cards? Watching videos of reels playing, it looks as though there is a shorter card behind each picture card? Is this the case or do every card have a picture on?
Cheers for any comments

Bob,
Another question? I'm curious why all Reel cards have that hole below the picture? It does not appear to serve any purpose unless its used to help the alignment during manufacture?
What do you think?

Many thanks Bob for taking the time to do all those measurements, really do appreciate it.
I notice that there's a lack of dedicated forums for MutoScope owners to ask questions and exchange help.

Cheers again

Hi Guys Does any member on these forums own a Mutoscope of any kind? I'm trying to establish the exact dimensions of the movie reels. Primarily the overall diameter and width. The size of the metal centre hub, size of the small metal peg on centre hub. Also Width of a card, the height of the actual ...

Will be interesting to see what proof he has in relation to it "actually" being in Fawlty Towers. I've come across many machines that the owner tells me it was once owned by Elton John, it was the one used in a James Bond movie..blah blah blah.. Without any evidence or paperwork to prove t...

Excellent. Thanks for all the photos, it confirmed that nothing was missing! And thanks for the explanation of this beautiful mechanism, although I don't know why Bryans changed the detection method from that of the Payramid that I own, as it seems much more reliable than the Retreeva method. Cheers...

Does anyone on these forums own this mechanical masterpiece. I'm after a high quality photo of the mechanism as the one on the Melwright Bryans site is too small and low quality to be able to make out the parts. Looking over a Retreeva recently and I cannot see how it triggers a payout when all 5 ba...

Hoping Steve (or associates) are reading this, just wanted to say another excellent Auction. The atmosphere was great, the free biscuits even better!!! Just a suggestion that I heard numerous times on the day, maybe Steve could employ someone on the day to help him take money/printout receipts etc.....

How much did the vintage machine with the slot on the front make? I think it was made by VHS!!!!!

Hi

I have bucket loads of 25c coins in mint (pardon the pun) condition. PM me. I'm 20 mins from North London

Can't believe the bids already placed....

That does it... All my machines will now be covered in Formica to hide all the wood rot and blemishes.
It would appear that Formica = high prices!!!!!

Hi Treefrog, The glass was the same one throughout, I deliberately extended the transfer to the far left edge as you don't see this part through the opening. In terms of wishy wash colours, if you print using photo paper setting, set to High Quality (takes a bit longer to print) the colours are more...

Topic merged - Site Admin.

Hi Guys,

New video added showing how to create award cards, light box graphics or any back glass transfers.

enjoy!

Trial broadcast seemed to work well, couple of issues with sound, but sorted later! If this live broadcast is your kind of thing, then I'm happy to setup regular repair and restore jobs to broadcast live through YouTube. May prove useful for people who need to "see" something rather than a...

Never realised that.... Well, let me tell you.. after 9pm it gets pretty dirty in here
