Would love to see the link but not showing ( at least not to me ). Any chance of putting it up again ?
Thanks

Whoops. Not even at drinks time. I meant of course coppinpr.

Well, as always coppinger has done a brilliant job of restoration. Also, I may be in a minority but I like the machine with its unusual design and the bold colours and motif.

Some of you may remember Roy Brooks a remarkably honest estate agent (Yes true Guv ! ) and his most famous book " Brothel in Pimlico ". He made his reputation by being brutally honest and quite often rude about the houses ( and their owners ). He was very successful and buyers and sellers ...

I hadn't realised you could paypal. Donate site asks too much info for me. Anyway a modest donation sent. Good luck Stuart.

Wow! Just Wow!! I found this utterly fascinating. Mr Penny Machines, this man deserves a medal.

Restoration's looking great and a great find too. Are you going to detail here any of the tasty looking machines in the background.......?!!!

I received my last mag yesterday.Will be sorely missed. Informative. Helpful. Sometimes funny.For a modest unskilled collector like myself has been invaluable. Reading others' memories of various arcades very nostalgic for me. Thanks Jerry. A great deal of hard work for little reward. All I can say ...

Just amazing !!! I don't suppose you carefully prepared instructions/ guide for those far less talented ? And assuming not would you consider it ?!! Is your motor 240v or stepped down?

Ah yes. I take that point. What I was trying to say was that I wondered if perhaps a number of modern restorers were adding pediments when none first existed to 'enhance' ( in their view ) although in many cases just replacing broken or missing original pediments.

I have a machine from the 1920s which has a modern very similar pediment added to it though I think it may have had one orginally. I have seen one or two machines with something similar and I guess it may have been fairly common/popular. Many more here more expert who might shed some light.

hear hear !!!!!!

not necessarily. In South Korea it is regarded as a luxury and the even have gift packs.Just a thought.

Now then. Queen Elizabeth became Queen on the 6th February 1952 immediately on the death of George the 6th.She was not crowned until the 2nd June 1953. So although it says 1952 could it actually mean 1953?!!!!

RIP indeed. One of the funniest and most acute observers of the human condition. One favourite amongst many was 'How Americans see us and how we see them' : a masterpiece.
Many Many happy hours with Mad Mags.

I see BP is on line. No doubt there will be some pearls of wisdom. Happy New Year BP and all fellow members.

Has anyone seen this? Forget the eye watering price but see the short video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLgfDk2EcV0 Very impressive action (to me anyway). Looks more repro than original.

if you're interested in Bryan machines look at Mel Wright's site. There are a few for sale from one vendor including a nice looking 3ball . I hasten to add the vendor is not me nor I am I connected in anyway ( tho' I do like Bryans )

Mmm - like that. Might get a bit confusing though when you're on number 4 or 5.......
