Arena etc. login problem
There is currently a problem with logging into all areas other than the Forum. This appears to be caused by a recent software update. I'm working on it and will report back once it's resolved.
Please accept my apologies in the meantime.

Re: Need a Guru
Yes I do have the cabinet also. That's good. :cool: So from the pictures you can see that it was converted? We know it was converted from the old penny because Whales ceased production well before British currency went decimal. We know it wasn't originally a Have a Go because of the gift pay mechan...

Re: Need a Guru
Hi parlamnt and :WELCOME: Your allwin does appear to have lost its way a little, but this could easily be remedied. Is the outer cabinet missing? As you guessed, it's European, specifically British, made by Oliver Whales in the 1950s and would have originally been on the large old (pre-decimal) penn...

Re: Calling all WHALES
Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops. The other one's difficult because, although Jentzsch & Meerz seem to have originated the classic Saxony allwin, these were extensively modified and copied in the UK. The only features deviating slightly from J&M's are the spandrels and the payout knob. Spandrel...

Re: Shefras boxing machine
It's an unusual and fun game but unfortunately very rare. I've only seen two come up for sale in my years of collecting (the one at Pete's arcade is one of them). There are one or two others around. See Pugh Automatics Prospector & Rolitina

Re: Ebay prices getting out of hand
...the old idea that reserves encourage more bids (which I guess is what Mr P means) I'm not familiar with that idea. :!?!: ...what I meant was simply starting the auction at that point instead of wasting time... I think you miss the psychology point. If reserves are high or the buyers aren't there...

Re: Does anyone have pics of the Brenco Mystery Arrow?
Lot 56. A ‘Mystery Arrow’ coin operated pedestal cabinet machine. No image unfortunately. This was at Barry’s Amusements Auction in 1975, but I've yet to see one myself.
