Temple’s Penny Arcade Trailer Project
Re: Temple’s Penny Arcade Trailer Project
Those pictures have the atmosphere of winter scenes in old paintings. Look at the expression on the people's faces! Well done!
Re: Temple’s Penny Arcade Trailer Project

Yes, this is on my showman’s insurance to cover public liability when operating at events.
Re: Temple’s Penny Arcade Trailer Project
The Penny Arcade is out 6 times this summer at steam fairs and private events. Here are a few pics of it at Elvaston Steam Rally earlier this month.

Looking fantastic
Now here is a controversial question. I notice half the machines you now have are bandits and I know you have dabbled with different machines… are they good money takers? I only ask as I always wonder whether today's kids and youth can relate less to more obscure skill machines…. Pushers will always be popular, but row after row of allwins I would have thought less so.

Elvaston's only a couple of miles up the road from me. I didn't go this year. Would've done if I'd known you were there.

Re: Temple’s Penny Arcade Trailer Project
Looks great. Definitely worth putting dates and places that you are attending with the arcade, in the Calendar.

Re: Temple’s Penny Arcade Trailer Project
Not just your arcade Paul.
Many of us are likely to have grand kids that have never seen some of your other novelties.
Put in the Calender when and where you'll be displaying your Organ, hammering your Striker and Punching Judy.

Re: Temple’s Penny Arcade Trailer Project
Yes, I decided to put 4 bandits on as these take the money and seem to be more popular than the allwins. 10 machines in total now. The matching pair (Fruit Bowl and Clock) are a perfect example of how the “flash gets the cash” the Fruit Bowl was full today, the Clock almost empty!treefrog wrote: ↑Sun Aug 28, 2022 9:27 am Looking fantastic

Re: Temple’s Penny Arcade Trailer Project
Sorry we missed you. To be honest the event was a bit of a wash out; poor attendance plus rubbish weather did not lead to the necessity of emptying cash boxes. :-)special when lit wrote: ↑Sun Aug 28, 2022 2:39 pm Elvaston's only a couple of miles up the road from me.

I will let you know if we do this again next year…
Re: Temple’s Penny Arcade Trailer Project
Hi folks, I have updated the Calendar with a number of events that I will be bringing the arcade to throughout the rest of this year. It will be great to meet some of you so if you are attending come and say hi or drop me a message in advance.
Re: Temple’s Penny Arcade Trailer Project
Hi everyone,
Just a quick message to let you know that tomorrow (Sunday, the 30th of July) I will be exhibiting the arcade at Moira Furnace, Furnace Lane, Moira, Swadlincote DE12 6AT
If anyone is in the area do feel free to swing by and say hello.

Re: Temple’s Penny Arcade Trailer Project
It’s been awhile since I updated on the arcade. I hope everyone has had a brilliant Christmas. We finished the year off with our usual visit to Warwick town centre for the Victorian market.
Now is the time of year to do all the upgrades and maintenance before we start again in the new year!
One project is the extension to the arcade. I have been looking at a way of covering the drawbar of the arcade (left hand side in picture above)
I wanted something portable that would fold flat to go in the car. It’s constructed from wood, di-bond and held together with pin hinges. Here are a few pictures of work in progress. Will up date when the paintwork starts. This box will take an additional 5 Bryans machines……..

Re: Temple’s Penny Arcade Trailer Project
Looks like a very good job in progress Paul......as always of course
Re: Temple’s Penny Arcade Trailer Project
Looks like it will be great addition to the Temple's Penny Arcade Paul.
I can't wait to see it fully painted with the new machines installed.
Wishing you the very best of success for 2024.
