Hi Guys
Thought I'd share some pictures of my latest addition to the room. (Much to the disgust of the wife but to great cheers from the kids)
Its a 40's/50's Ruffler & Walker Ice Hockey machine. Very basic but I played them when I was a kid on holiday at the seaside and have been after one for years.
Bit "ruff" and missing a coin slide but other than that with a little TLC should be a great addition to the other toys...
Dave

Nice addition to the "family", Dave! I'm sure the kids will have a blast with that one once you have given it some TLC.

Aaahh...
Now that the kids are getting older and you can count on their vote, you might be able to acquire more with the kids' support ! ! !
Nice find ! ! !

Thats cool Dave... It looks like a similar type of play to foosball, with only one man on each team?

Its very simple... No electrics and you are right... The company that made it also made the football tables.
Ginger (also on the group) has a picture of a machine that had two players per team but I've only ever seen them like the one I have....
As you can see I'm pretty hard pushed to get anything else in the room now..

Hi Brian
unfortunately not...
Not much in the way of goodies local. It was an Ebay buy
(druing the boycott...sorry but they almost never come up)
It was about 80 miles away...so I guess for some of you guys it would have been almost in your back yard.

I'd consider anything up to 120 miles , my backyard... stuff is harder to get and we have to expand our backyards!!! |

Dave that is very cool look's like it's going to fun to restore. And on your room look's like there is no more room, so now where do you go from there the dinning room, the garage or even the master bedroom (the wife wont like that one)  big thumb up on the back yard deal. |

Pat... My room was once upon the time my garage. Well at least part of it... I want the other part now but Mrs Birman has put her foot firmly down...
I did have a Juke in our bedroom for a few years so there is still the chance that I could move that back. I'd have to get rid of one of her Antique bits of furniture or perhaps the vanity table but "when needs must...Sacrifices need to be made...
Looking at making a start on the machine this week. So hopefully in the not too distant future some before and after snaps...
Dave

Well finally finished this latest project...
A complete strip down to bare wood. Lots and lots of new wax.
A new playfield and paint job for the men and its now as good as new...
Its amazing how peeling back all that paint leaves a lovely piece of wood.
For once I think would agree that WoodGrain is good...
