Thanks for those pictures, Rockola. Do post 'em all if you feel inclined - that was one of the few slot machine auctions I didn't attend.

Re: Help save Colwyn Victoria Pier
Hi PM, Part 2
Hi all yes the Bumper i say no more..................
Anyway old pictures of auctions always hurt if you can't remember why you didn't buy a slot you still want now many years later, and you wonder who has it now and will it come up for sale.
Help is at hand very often i took pictures of why i didn't buy this auction had many bandits that were recreations pretty but not going to increase in value or collectabillity.
Buyer beware at any auction,we had a good day bought nothing tea was disgusting cold and a long long way from London.
Faces not shown to protect the guilty.
Part 3 coming soon.

Correct, one John down, although his son is active in the more modern field of machines on Facebook.
The dodgy Tura eventually was sold to a Californian Business man. He paid the asking price, arranged for UPS to collect it on the Monday, they packaged and packed it, I got an email from him less than 30 hours later to say it had arrived and he was thrilled.
He told me he had no intention of changing anything on it.

Interesting to see the Hawtins Rolling Road. The old catalogue image shows the track layout is different to a standard Steer-A-Ball (a version of which Hawtins also made). Your close-up reveals the relief molding of the "mountainous course".

The Leicestershire Pub was The Fox Inn at Thringstone.
It's now a small row of houses in a cul-de-sac.
The last pub where we hosted events was The Nelson Inn Cresswell Green Burntwood, still there so far as I know.
Re: Help save Colwyn Victoria Pier
Thanks Jeremy for the info, it makes you wonder where a lot of the machines have gone, and the people.
Roll on Coventry always nice to see a few old and new collectors.
I wanted this Jennings so much it went for £1000+ some things never change and that was 2001.
