Artwork looks fantastic.
I thought you said this was going to be a long term project! You seem to be motoring through the jobs. I would probably still be at the thinking about it stage.

@&@ I am doing minimal restoration on this to restore function and bring back to original configuration, but trying whenever possible to salvage anything original, so it won't be one of those looks like new over the top restorations. Of the several Green Rays I have seen photos of, there is a lo...

FABULOUS. I can't remember seeing one working. Thanks for sharing.

WISHING EVERYONE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Let`s hope we can all meet up at a real Auction in 2023.
I was rather amused by this vintage card, and thought I`d share it with you all. Santa looks rather malevolent to me, more like the child catcher!

Sounds like a plan!
Keep us informed. As you say, a long project, but so worth it.

Looks fantastic. Nice selection of machines in lovely condition, beautifully presented. You should feel very proud.

Always happy to help if I can. The top 2 pictures are of my machine, before and during restoration. The bottom picture is one I've saved off the internet. Far too new and shiny for me

I think they were always "WIN".

Be careful of those mental discs.

I find these in depth discussions regarding the history of machines fascinating Me too! ! !!THUMBSX2!! And me!👍👏 Lots of sleuthing there PM -/00\- !SHERLOCK! It's nice to see you acknowledge the sources of your research, from which you have formed your post. It lends it a certain gravitas.

Looking good so far tf.
Here is a picture of my payout surround in case you don`t have one.

I'll have two please, at that price!
£2400 seemed a lot, especially as it was on 1 new pence.

I was bidding on the 2 yale locks, but dropped out very early on.
£200 plus commission plus postage!!
Who says prices are tumbling?

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge on this fascinating branch of our hobby. It's important to record first hand accounts before they become lost due to time. Well done.
Glad you are having a good season.

Not a bad start!!

Carters have been in Victoria Park in Bath since 13th August, finishing 29th (I think). Sadly there is no penny arcade. Kevin, auctioneer from Coventry, has had his arcade with them a few times since Carters sold their arcade and machines. He didn't travel it with Carters last year due to Covid. Ver...
