Re: ***MERRY CHRISTMAS***
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...

Re: ***MERRY CHRISTMAS***
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...

Re: ***MERRY CHRISTMAS***
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...

So who found something special in 2014?
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.

Re: Can anyone tell the brand/make of this Australian bandit
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...

Re: Replacing Neon lights in signs
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,

Re: Replacing Neon lights in signs
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...

Re: Whats wrong with this machine...?!?
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.
