Hearts And Spades Classic Pinball

This has the highest ratings for fun of any game. (8.4) because you can get awarded countless numbers of extra balls during a game, the machine wouldn't have taken much money in its day , so no good for business but great for the player. I played it for nearly two hours on one sixpence with a high score of 123,600, awesome game. only 615 made and has a fluted back box sides, highly sought after all over the world. rated number 19 out of the top 300 machines.

It has 3 different bells and apparently the loudest pinball. need a lot of drinking vouchers to part with this one!

Jennings Club Chief One Armed Bandit

Ode Jennings died on 29th November 1953 at the age of 79 having personally run the company for 47 years. Having no children he left everything in trust to his wife on the proviso that it past to the town and hospital on her death but she seems to have got round that as far as the company was concerned by setting up Jennings and Co in 1954 which purchased the assets of O.D.Jennings and Co from the estate of Ode Jennings.

Most slot machine collectors want at least one Jennings machine in their collection, the latest ones (club Chief) are said to be THE classic mechanical slot machine. Always well made with great build quality and designed to stand the test of time. Variations on this model were also made, plastic side panels which lit up , light up top section etc, All had the iconic indian head to "rub" for luck. widely used in Vegas casinos for their reliability, Mainly as all the mechanical components are fixed to the main mechanism so easy to work on as opposed to other machines which left half the workings in the machine when the mech was removed. This one has been stripped to its component form and completely rebuilt, cabinet recovered and front nickel plated. Valued at today's prices of approx £5000 and going up!
