Rare Bryans Elevenses

Post by jingle »

I check the Bryans site nr everyday (like most people) :NBG: for new items for sale but been away this week working and just got back !!CHEERS!!
Looked on the site and there are 2 Bryans Elevenses for sale, but now sold :dammit:

Looked closely and the 2 machines are in the same case.
I have never heard or seen one of these before.

Anyone buy it? Looks like it was cheap too !THUMBS!

There was also a guy selling a Trickler and a Jackpot allwin for £200 each at Lincoln Antique Fair :shock:
I was there and got told the mud of my back wheel on my bike was coming over the top of my head !!ESCAPE!! I was going that fast.

"Gone", he said, "Got this jackpot one left".
I cried for 1 hour :cry: coz I had looked in the same area 2 hours before, but there's a 1000 plus stalls all shoved together.

Well the machines are still out there - ya just got to keep looking and have a bit of luck.

Eek. I was away on my hols too. I have a nasty feeling this was for sale just down the road from me. Do you know what the vendor was asking for the machines?

Look a bit closer, there is no cash box at bottom, must either be a 'special' but why a special would leave the factory without cash box is puzzling, or more likely some arcade owner has put these two together in the past.

Shame about that Trickler, Jingle! Mind you, a jackpot allwin sold at Kempton yesterday for £550 so I hoped you snapped it up?? Wasn't you selling it on was it??

I think these could be from a Four Square which would explain the lack of a cashbox and their identical casing.

Silly me. I had wondered if someone might have cannibalised a four square and made a side by side from two of the machines, particularly as the Elevenses was such a popular machine for the Four Square. So yes, it must have been a special or a private conversion. I used to play Bryans machines along the North Wales coast when a boy and cannot recall a side by side of any of his machines.

Has anyone realised that two identical allwins side by side in the same case is a bit pointless? They couldn't be played simultaneously by two average sized people, so they could only really be played by children.

They could have been wall mounted in a ladies toilet Jerry cos as we all know the ladies always need to stand in a line and wait and then there would be space enough to accommodate them as they stand and wait one behind another. :lol:
