    Morning all ......

    I've just joined and will be posting a question soon, hoping that you knowledgeable geezers may be able to help me.

    In the meantime I think it's only fair and polite to introduce myself. I'm on a few forums where I often see a newcomer appear, shoot of a vague question and then disappear without so much as a please, thank you or kiss my ....

    I've been cluttering my life up with collectables and antiques for over 50 years (I was very young when I started) I've always been fascinated by owning the sort of stuff that people don't normally have access to. My biggest interest has always been coin operated machinery. This takes the form mainly of amusement machines, mechanical ones pre decimal.
    Although I have a couple of vending machines and a 1969 electro-mech pinball the rest are end of the pier sort of things. They work on the old penny and tanners. 1d - 6d.

    I'm in the West Midlands, and shall be making myself a cup of coffee in a minute.

    Regards
