Re: Bolland v Kraft Guillotine / Watchman / Haunted Churuchyard
You're talking about Joe Pettitt's 'Drunkard's Nightmare' which is at Battlesbridge
which I agree with you this time JC, it is frankly awful.

Re: Working model birdwatchers
Well everyone has an opinion BP. My "varied spectrum of expertise and opinion" was that it is recently made, not '1980's', and not '1990-2000 mark', and all of the makers info has been in plain sight on the Colcon site all the time. and that I think JC, it's about as far away from the qual...

I hope you didn't pay much money for it Bricke, the description on the machine is misleading.

Re: Working Models & Automata
I have just seen another Samson 'cutting woman in half illusion' on my travels at Marvins Marvelous Mechanical Museum in Michigan so they did make more, and experimented with the Peppers Ghost illusion quite a lot. Similarly Darren's 'Haunted House' model, and Rye's 'Smokey Joe' are other examples. ...

Re: Milestones Arcade
Thankfully nowadays Old Penny Arcades in high footfall family destination locations still appear to be as popular as they ever were for the '50s and '60s generations whilst swept along on a wave of nostalgia. I see no reason why this won't continue provided that a feeling of good value for money is ...

Re: Saleroom roundups
Ha, I thought the female figure's head was too small and out of proportion, but then wondered if it was the camera angle. I did think the video of the 'Snow White and Dwarfs' contributed to its low selling price, but a cabinet refurb, slowing the motor down, and changing them over to Pelham puppets ...

Re: Five Finger Discount
I can see this is an American incident but it happens here too, and far more often than you may first think. The parents are almost always involved in the scam until the kid has emptied all the prizes but then can't get out. They always plead innocence and blame the kid. Personally as long as there'...
