Re: Moneybox Madness
just to close this topic out - earlier posts are correct, the woman who paid nearly £200 didn't realise it was a toy. I knew her from having sold her a full size vendor shortly before and she just got carried away with it. The luckiest person around of course is the underbidder who came so close to paying about 5 or 6 times the price of what something was worth! I notice a quick trawl today finds one person selling two different machines at £60 or £125 buy it now or another listing where you can take your chances on a 99p auction! For the record, I had a few of these machines last year and from memory got £65 for a nice one in a box, and I think £50 for another and £60 for another. But all sales were around the Christmas run up when full size cadbury vendors were going daft too!

Re: Casdon toy allwin
If anyone wants a copy of this mag, the Meccano guys are selling it and many more for £3.95 postage inc. It's a lot cheaper than the US copy.'Build your own working Meccano slot machine'
Their weblink is: http://www.hsomerville.com/mwmailorder/
I was going to scan my copy and put it in the Resources Section but it probably wouldn't go down too well with them.
Come on then, get those No. 10 Sets out from under the bed and get cracking. I'll want to see photos in a weeks time.....

Re: Casdon toy allwin
My kids have one of those toys and it actually works very well. Perhaps we should start a toy slot thread and build pics to it. I have a couple of toys to add, will fish them out later and add accordingly.

Re: Casdon toy allwin
Here's a couple of loosely coin operated toy bits I found in my stash of tat. First one is Wheel of Fortune, a four player coin pusher. We used to substitute the plastic tokens for the new 1p when we played with the family and we each had to put a 5p coin on the star positions. I have two of these and still good fun to play. The second is a Peter Pan Playthings vending machine. I've seen the mini chocolate dispensing one many times, but never this one until I found it in a flea market, unused, mint in its box. It's on old penny. Packaged from factory with very non attractive bits of polystyrene in the tray compartments. The old penny goes in a slot on the top of the machine at the back. You have to time it well, pushing the coin in with one hand and pulling the tray with the other at the same time.

"Start em young"

I don't remember this toy from the '50s. Do you think the operators backed this project to get the next generation of punters interested from a very young age? Made in England and still with its original box, instructions etc. Almost worth having!

Re: "Start em young"
I used to have one of those a few years back without the box.
They pop up every couple of years and go for about £15.
Good to see it, pity they don't do anything other than spin haphazardly.

Re: Toy slot machines
Thought it was worth adding the toy catcher machine on eBay today that sold for a solid £124. I am sure I have seen one if these before, but could not trace. Certainly looks well made but resisted the temptation.
Re: Toy slot machines
Hello,
I bought the above machine mainly out of curiosity. When I first saw it I thought it was a toy one, but after asking the vendor for a shot of the inside I was not so sure so set about some research to find out more about it. After many hours I came up with nothing. Looking again at the mechanism I thought the tooling required to make it was a bit over the top for a toy, so must have been made for a commercial use (pub/club etc), therefore there must be more out there somewhere. If so, if anyone has any information to share I would love to hear it. When I receive the machine and give it the once over if I find out more I will post it on here.
Regards JRA.

Re: Toy slot machines
Well done, there were a few I am sure with their finger on the button. It certainly looks well made with more metal than plastic and well engineered mechanical parts. Of course it may be a type of trade stimulator, but I wonder if likely to be used in a commercial environment as the cash gathering area is very small being low down and there is no lock, only a screw holding on the rear door. I also wondered what the slot was on the left side from the front which appears to maybe for another lever, but no indication on the inside.
Oh forgot, for those not seeing the listing, the size is apparently 12inches high by 6 inches.
I am still convinced I have seen one before but cannot track a picture yet, so would be good to get feedback once you get it.

Not the same I know, but I thought Stuart Dale's remarkable handy work deserved an outing at this stage
