Re: Anyone want to buy a set of five Jennings machines?

Greed, pure greed. Never sell them in his lifetime. Guess his family will sell for a tenth of that once he's passed.

Re: Tumbling Prices…

I don't see tumbling prices for bandits, unless they're badly restored and missing parts that are not easily available. Jennings Chief prices have surged, as have most high end bandits. Don't know about allwins as not my area of expertise, although I heard the large allwins from the 50s are enjoying...

Re: Puritan Baby Bell Alignment

Probably reel strips are loose. Just realign and crimp the tins on the side a bit tighter!

Re: Sweet Paradise One Arm Bandit

Sorry I cannot be of much help but it looks like an IGT machine that is full of electronics. This forum only deals with mechanical and electro mechanical machines. It is just too new for most on here. Google "New Life Games". Their forum should be much more helpful. Good luck!

well if i don't make the winning offer, yes., it is!
Site is set up for people who buy and sell on regular basis.
its not good value for money if you only want to buy or sell a couple of machines a year!

Re: Elephant House Auctions

I had a quick look at the collector connector website. I may have this wrong but it seems like all the past auction results are gone. They are retrievable but you have to pay a subscribtion fee which is £10 pcm. Is this correct?
