German made NSM wallmachines type "allwin"/"dropcase"
Three generations of wall-mounted allwin-type machines from the German manufacturer NSM. The Bowling was produced approx. 1967 and onwards. The Worldcup was released 1973-1974. The Chicago knobel-runde (Chicago dice-game) was produced approx. 1984.

Had a couple of World Cups over the years, which should have been more popular than they were, as they could be revamped every 4 years with the new players. The only problem is that they were not made strong enough to last the cup series, let alone 4 years. Cheap & nasty.

Ouch, didn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings... I'm from Yorkshire y'know, we tend to tell it how we see it.

No offence taken on my part.raj wrote:Cheap & nasty
I have owned a couple of Bowling and Worldcups myself over the years. The first ones, I sold. I later got nostalgic, so I looked for new machines until I found similar ones.
Apart from damaged cabinets caused by rough use/handling, I have found these machines reliable. A common weak component on these NSM machines is the piece of plastic which the balls are resting against; down by the "hammer". One of the two "fingers" on this "v" shaped plastic has often broken off. I got machined new ones in aluminium. So in a private environment, I am sure these machines will last a lifetime.
I don`t know how long these machines were expected to last in operation, but many have survived. They are on eBay in Germany/Austria all the time, in various conditions. Were probably marketed all over Europe, as I understand, in addition to German speaking countries. They were also found in UK and Scandinavia.
A big compliment from me to the British islands for their high quality allwin/dropcase-type machines. Heavy duty on the older machines for sure.

Re: Electro-mechanical Wall Machines
The wiring diagram would be a great help to me. I've got an Autofruit, which is almost identical to your machine, that needs a rewire.

I've never seen Twinkletoes.
It's a lot like 'Derby Day', in both play and cabinet style.

Re: Electro-mechanical Wall Machines
It has been posted on this thread twice before, but I wonder if the latest interest may relate to the ludicrous offer someone has made for one £1250 on the new Elephant site
If it were genuine and I owned one, I would be throwing it in the back of my car for a trip to Cambridge

Re: Electro-mechanical Wall Machines
Horses for courses. It's a hard machine to find if you want one. I guess there may be sentimental reasons why you may want that particular machine, either because you remember playing it as a child on family holidays or many other reasons. If money is not the relevant factor and you want to coax one out of the woodwork, throwing a juicy figure out there is the way.
