Apologies for my rambling post. In short, on present evidence, your game was probably sold by Golding Automatics Ltd. and either built by them or for them by an un-named company.

The fogginess is because, for various reasons, some manufacturers did not put their name to their products.

Whoosh electro machine?

Post by ronnie63 »

Topic merged - Site Admin.

Picked this up at a local auction, described as locked no keys not working! Had to drill the lock to find the key inside! All looked complete clearly working on 1p coins but should be 3d coins I think, The big multi plug thing was hanging out, upon plugging it in the machine worked apart from a few bulbs need replacing.

This should tidy up nicely, the edge moulding is hanging off so needs removed and re bonded on, I need to sort the coin chute as coins (1p) are sticking in the slide. I need to decide on which coins I want it to take, open to suggestions? Thrupenny bits? I don't have any lol. Oh and the cash box is missing! replaced with a cardboard box.

Anyone know any info about this machine? Who made it and when? I seen another thread on here that shows a pic of one of these in white, other than that I found nothing!

Thanks Ronnie

Nice Find!
You won't find much online as they weren't around long... and then they were gone.

I was the other bidder on that and decided not to risk, my niece lives 300m from the auction house which was the only reason to have a go. I sold a couple of Golding machines 18months ago as I am clueless on these types of machine. Main thing that puts me off is the colour, Goldings normally used nice bright colours rather than brown wood formica and orange….anyway was cheap enough


You will see another on this thread (Merged above - Site Admin.)

Lol I paid more than I planned. I set £15 under what it went for, only 9 miles from me and not often stuff comes up round here! Yes the colours are dull but I remember lots of others similar such as Cascade etc.

Anyone know the bulb type for these? I'm reading 9 volts to the socket, screw in type, I have some but 47 volts!

9v sounds plausible, and I suspect your game was originally on the old penny. The hopper looks like it's been sleeved to take the new penny.
