Nice thought Jingle, could do myself a 'special deal' and sell 'em to myself for half price! Sad I know, but still a bit more than Badpenny offered! Sorry, I'll go away again now. You have a pint in at my local club by the way. Probably a tad warm & flat since you last threatened to return to Oz...

Ha!
Ta Jingle Bells et al,
Got well paid by the gear sponsors for not falling off.
Anybody want some cheap bandits?
Cheers,
Andy.

Oh thanks Jeremy, Dave, Kind words indeed. Yes, it has been a while... though I've dropped in for a look over the years. I can barely do ten pull-ups now. Whoever famously said 'Age Shall Not Weary Them", with all due respect, wasn't meaning ancient ex rock climbers! Merry Christmas to all. Che...

Honestly! Have you people no compassion, or empathy? Surely the oldies among us recall I told you I lost my own father to one of them Daleks on Dr Who when I was five (or was it a Yeti?). Thanks for ruining my Christmas. (Plus that hot bird on Channel 7 promised us 38c today and its only 34). !!GRUM...

Hip, Hip, Hooray! from Upsidedownland too Paul, 'thumbs' mate.
Congrats & enjoy the serenity of retirement..

Re: Mr PM's HNY wishes and hoping someone makes the find of the decade (before jingle that is!!) it might be of interest to many what the previous year's highlights were - all in one place.
Just a random thought ..which takes my posting count to 2.
Regs,
Andy.

That was yesterday wasn't it or did I jump the gun? Oh thats right I'm in Upsidedownland.... Hello dear old friends and a HNY to all. May the next year bring you good luck in your hunt for that find of the decade Well said that man. Interesting posting stats from Paul there so here's the 1st of my t...

They could've all had Middlehurst Coronets. ( I'd post a photo but I emailed them to BP & he never sent them back.) :lol: Sorry to harp on about my MIDDLEHURST CORONET :tut , no shouting....,so what's a 1d early Bryans Payramid worth now? I got twenty quid for mine and was dead chuffed. Regards,...

Yer should've come to Rhyl fairground Jinglies. Me & Justin Smart had to shovel & wheel-barrow out the coins from the Wheel 'Em Ins & pushers coz the cash boxes were enormous! Only $32k and she left BP? Mine left when I had $100k's worth (and your scruffy Australian Coronet ). Hope every...

Hi again, The mech in ybot's pics looks very Nutt & Muddle/Jubilee(ish) to me and it wouldn't surprise me if Sapphire (Apex Amusements - Ray Smith) simply re-cased Jub mechs in their own cabinets. Tooling up to produce mechs was a rare event indeed. As for mr pennymachines' Ace-Hi well, Ace-Hi (...

...Ace-Hi well, Ace-Hi (Vic Walker Mfg. Co, Australia) produced both three and four reelers in 1959 so a little later than I thought.

G'day all. Hope everyone's well, been preoccupied with work and middle-aged "mens' problems' plus trying to complete the manuscript for my book. The picture tells the supplier under the reels but it's too blurred to read. Reckon Dave's right though and probably a Sapphire . They were an off-sho...

Glad the payouts are sorted.

Blood-oath BP, there's one I can think of........ and Gameswat's only down the road. Could have it back in't west by dinner!
Great to hear Coventry went't off.
Best to all.

Ooooh!, Thanks Bob,
I should PM Rory and pass on my details for Phil.
If he comes close to a reasonable offer they're his so there might be 50 or 75 in it for you. A whole quid even.
Cheers,
A.P

Been up in Cairns, Far North QLD BP. Turned fifty under a palm tree. Read Keef's autobiography, a couple of Clarksons (loveable oaf) and Fit, Fifty & Fired Up - the sequal to Fat, Forty & Fired - good stuff, read a decade apart under t'same tree!! Hopping back on the hamster wheel tomoz for ...

G'Day Rory, Paul, Been a while but this thread sparked my interest. As I love neon signage (the bigger the better) it reminds me of a huge Claude Neon wall sign just off Chinatown here in Melbourne. A new building was erected - seventies I imagine, which totally obliterated it so it was simply switc...

Orange/Melon/Orange was one of the 'Mystery Payouts' Mills introduced.
My Mystery Silent Golden is set up similarly (sans Melon).
I can't recall the other(s?) but there's one pre-dating the Melon symbol, 'BellFruitGum' (JP) I think.
