I think treefrog is about bang on the money with his estimate.

Thanks BP

Nearly £200! I bought mine for about £18 a few years ago. I do like them though, but not that much. They appear to be like buses..... not one for ages then 2 at once. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1950s-VINTAGE-COIN-OPERATED-OLD-PENNY-VENDING-SLOT-MACHINE-/360555695443?pt=UK_Video_Games_Coin_Operated_MJ...

Strangely Margate has just been voted one of the top 10 destinations by the Rough Guide Travel Hot list for 2013! Perhaps they need to get Tracey Emin involved in saving Dreamland as it was her home town? Fashion/ Retail Guru, ( no not BP or Treefrog ) Mary Portas is also involved. http://www.bbc.co...

The survey results are in: Genius: 55% Goat: 36% On the fence: 9% I cannot conclude without special recognition to my favorite post by bryans fan: “I suspect you will turn out to be proved a genius you old goat!” Clever wordplay wins every time in my book!

You just don't learn, do you?

Not sure what type of rivets used on your machine, but I have used some very small chromed or nickel plated Bifurcated rivets to repair a peanut vendor flap.

I just wanted to say well done to Jerry and Jeremy for holding such a great day on Sunday. I too made it a long weekend, coming up on Sat. and going home Mon. It makes it far more enjoyable. I thought that the day went very well, and the two auctioneers did a great job. As has been said, there were ...

Of all these, the machines that I am least impressed by, in terms of quality, is Bryans, and I don't mean the mechanicals, but the quality of the build of the cases... I am sure this will ruffle a few feathers out there, but these were really cheaply made.... !!ESCAPE!! Ohh how very dare you :tut !...
