Re: Help with repairs

Hi Badpenny

On the bomber command the coin goes straight the way through to the coin box but doesn't release the handle to play
The defiant pic is an old one and the ball isn't in the play field...

Any chance of some further advice please - would photos of the insides be worthwhile?

Thanks
Woody

Re: WW1 and WW2 related machines

The topflash on mine isn't original. I am 80% sure the case is the correct one though - amazing how many photos etc. of these are coming out of the woodwork. I will be sending Melvyn a decent picture of mine over the weekend.

Cheers,

Woody :D

Re: WW1 and WW2 related machines

Ah - Could be, but my machine has the red white and blue circular decal and no top flash - so I am not sure now...

Re: WW1 and WW2 related machines

Hi All,

I think the top flash on the Airplane is a later addition and not original.
Like the ebay machine - I have one like it - Photo attached.

Thanks for posting the photos.

Best Wishes,

Woody.

Re: WW1 and WW2 related machines

Here is a photo of my latest purchase. It is Airplane by BMC. Are there any more War time / War theme machines out there to add to the list?
