Re: Coventry Auction - 29 November 2009

These machines are now on offer in MMM and on ebay. I've tried to put them on here but can't remember my password for The Market.
Mr PennyMachines please note I've mailed you requesting it.

Re: Coventry Auction - 29 November 2009

Two weeks have gone by since the auction and I still have two orphaned bandits sitting in my front room. I understand their owner thought they had sold and didn't check his payout slip too closely. The Christmas festivities dictate the order of play in our house and my own machines have to go and su...

Re: Coventry Auction - 29 November 2009

It would take more than two extra as a duplicate computer on a local network to the main one would have to be rigged up to run in tandem.
It ain't going to happen so enjoy your day out and make the most of your loved ones allowing you a whole 6 hours dedicated to your hobby. :D

Re: Coventry Auction - 29 November 2009

It's the lesser of two evils really, in order to be able to pay out the vendors on the day we need to get the money in first. As it was, and despite it all being explained in the conditions of sale in the catalogue and clearly spelt out by Jerry before the auction we still had two numpties who could...

Re: Coventry Auction - 29 November 2009

Thanks everyone for our best ever yet! Although I have the shortest journey of anyone (2 miles - just round the corner) I've only just surfaced and have still to get my thoughts together. I'll do a "porter's report" and post it on here as soon as I can. Hope you all got home safely with yo...

Re: Aristocrat - Deci King

Stop the vane on top of the clock at the back, that will stop the cycle, line up the required winning reel combination and let go of the vane. Same for most 3 reelers................... assuming I've understood the correct meaning of "frig" ?

Hi Mark ......
Welcome to the forum. From what I've seen they cost about the same as a decent original Jennings.

Re: Win Easy identified

Can anyone offer info on this domino themed allwin? It uses a 1 1/4" ball - presumably not steel, running on a flat brass track. Brass is also the choice of material for the painted backface. The lucky player receives only his coin back - no ball to replay! I see in the photo you've got the ol...
