Yes, Welcome paxmanvalenta. You have joined the most knowledgeable and helpful site about vintage amusement machines. There are some great experts and superb resource sections within the site. Strongly recommend you pay the very modest fiver to access the Arena (see menu). Good hunting.

Thanks Bob for all the interesting and informative posts as always. Great pictures too.

No, but as always you bring to this site so much interesting information and pictures. Have you considered a weekly column?! Thank you for your great input. It puts many of us to shame. Must try harder.....

Ask any member.

I hope you found the link I was looking at. one of the machines ( sold ) was under item" Vintage 25 Cent The Ole Medicine Man Coin Op Machine Operated Vending" and another " vintage column condom coin operated vending dispenser machine ". If you type in the ebay name mcoffeyanddo...

I like the look of those. Found a topic on ebay " Vending machines for theatre " and then followed it through : some very interesting machines ( I suspect somewhere here all has been discovered and there may be other threads, so apologies if repetition or already referred to ).

Excellent selection! I partcularly like the Lord George Clowes card. Does anyone know any background details to this?

Happy Christmas John. Peace and Health to you.

Yes. That does make sense. I'll add another ball to my machine. I'd forgotten that the Bryan's Allsport usually came with 10 (no doubt for the same reason).

I think 9 balls and 5/16ths.

Ah Yes .Sorry. Do You think I am right about the back cloth?

oops. his as in Bryans fan.

Hi Widget. I have a worlball.Original condition but with a previous owner's half hearted attempt to restore chrome bits. I am over 90% sure that the back cloth is not painted but pre-coloured leatherette ( ie synthetic not real leather ). It is a light green and not the darker colour on the elephant...

I Like that. A lot of the traditional advent calendars had 24 windows with a few 25 and now more with 25. The actual religious period varies.

Ah. My comment fell on stony ground.....
