Mechanical Memories Magazine

Coventry, 12 th November
As I've stated on the previous page, we have received some great
support for this event, both from vendors and those who have
already reserved catalogues. A good number of sales tables have
been booked too, offering books; paperwork; machines; spares etc
and of course, I shall be promoting the magazine. The event will
start at about 10.30, allowing plenty of time to catch up with old
friends and maybe make some new acquaintances. The auction
will no doubt form the focal point of the event, and will commence
at about midday. Over 150 lots have been catalogued, and Jeremy
and I are extremely pleased with the diversity of machines that
have been entered. As would be expected, there is a nice selection
of allwins, including: Whales; Parker; B.M.Co; Hawtins, plus one
or two older machines. There is a good selection of other wall
machines, including a few rare French machines and an extremely
desirable B.M.Co machine. Bryan's machines are well represented
and include: Allsport; Clock; Hidden Treasure; Fruit Bowl and a
Bullion. And of course, one-armed bandits. Also included are a
number of early pinballs and some nice trade stimulators. Other
lots include a good selection of hard to find books, plus the usual
coins and odds & ends. So, unless you're really fussy, or already
own everything, I think there's something here for everyone! If
you haven't already done so, please order your catalogue now. Do
remember that entry is by catalogue only, so if you don't have a
catalogue, you won't get in! I really hope this event receives the
support it deserves. Jeremy and I have been working extremely
hard to make it a success, and remember, this is your day.
Be there!
See you in Coventry.
