Did anyone go the Knowle auction on Tuesday? Are the result going to be in the Arena ??

Yes those machines look good in their own right (where are they know??). I've never heard of Simon of Nottingham though. Thanks for that.

If you look in the the Carter's book at the Conveyor, it says beware of repros? Has anyone ever seen a repro Conveyor?

just wondering its now april can you not go to work since jan ,because your wheel bearing on your car has gone west and you cant have a shower ? LOL

You've done well to find that at a flea market! When I go around flea markets the only thing I find is tat!!

That was the second time the Bollands Steer-a-Ball was on ebay. The first time it had a starting price of £500! When the auction finished with no bids I emailed him (thehauntedchurchyard) and offered him £400 cash but he replied saying he would wait till the market picked up and sell at a later date...

Well... when the first 12 machines came on ebay I emailed the guy to see if he would sell the Pilwin (as I got out-bid at Coventry last year for that Pilwin) and he said he had an offer on all the machines and it would make the Pilwin £1250. :shock: At that point I thought good luck to him. :eek: I ...

Yes, you've done a really good job on both of them, more so on the Yours To Be Won! As it was mine Mrs Cowman wouldn't have it in the house because of the smoking theme. I've still got a before photo on my pc as below - yes great job

Hi,
I'm now at the point of getting my Steer-a-Ball to work. Does anyone know what I can use as a belt? (goes around the shaft and tilts the play field). What belt/band did they use before?
Thanks in advance.

Yes I'm a bit late replying - snowed in, couldn't get to my laptop he he:D ,good day had by all. Went with the intentions of winning the Byrans Pilwin but lost and came home with a cheap bandit :???: , Better luck next time I'm thinking. Roll on the next one. Again well done everyone involved. PS. M...

Hi, I got this from the Knowle sale (Love Nest fortune teller). Is it rare? Who made it? Any ideas?

Topic merged - Site Admin. Don't know which one to put this in but... I'm restoring a Stevenson and Lovett Steer-a-Ball and I'm missing the top flash and looking in the Mechanical Memories Magazine (May 08) saw a man, Eugene Sloan, who paints fairground and artwork signs. After ringing him and havi...

yes ill bring the cows and let them graze around the car park is there any grass there? any one know how much machines went for at the cameo auction?

That one on ebay was 12 to 18 month ago and I was the bidding on it. It went for 600 to 700 I'm sure. Anyway, there's one at Wooky Caves. Nice machine to play but it's not mine
