Hi All,
How much is the above machine worth? Its in good condition(apart from the sound is distorted?) and only a few bulb holders wont work.
My brother was meant to be buying it(im short of cash!) but he has dropped out of the sale at the last minute.
Thanks
Ryan

[bridlad]

Why does this thread make my mouth water... I want 1!!!

In that condition, the price could vary loads. £50 seems like a fair figure. I've seen very good condition ones change hands for £200 or so, but don't think this one is worth more than 25% of that figure myself. Still, someone who collects this age machine and so has spares, or an engineer, may well buy one knowing they can repair it. Spares are getting pretty limited on these, so buy it for classic machine ownership, not for ease of obtaining spares

Does Fairground go to £15 JP? ffs, ruin of a classic

[bridlad]

Ok thanks for all your replies. To be truthful "DildoDez" i didnt realise it was a classic until i read this forum earlier!
Iv attached a photo, any one interested in buying it will have to collect from Bridlington. Like i say there is something wrong with the sound( i have disconnected the wires from the speaker cuz it was getting annoying) unfortunatly im moving and my brother isnt buying it now.
Any offers considered.

Thanks
Ryan

Ha Roxy amusements. I know where you mean(its actually on St John St!)
Its just had a major refit. I can give them a ring and see what they say.
Thanks

[lincs1]

it did belong to richard until early this year, but now its been taken over by the chap who owns and runs the car valeting place next door, i dunno his name. i c its had a refit when i went to scarborough the other day. it looks totally better and its much different now. but when richard run it he was getting aload of complaints from residents across the road due to the lights flashing from the dance machine that was facing the front door.

he has sold the leasehold to carry on with his arcades at skipsea and worksop.

[bridlad]

Oh right. It seems to get quite a bit of business nowadays. It used to be full of chavs but now it seems to have gone a bit more "upmarket". if thats the right word!lol
Do you think they would in interested in my Fairground machine? Would it be worth listing it on Ebay?

[lincs1]

you could try asking em, theres no harm in trying, if u don't have any success there then ya best bet is to list it on ebay, a collector of this sort of machine may buy it.

i know when i was helping out at the roxy that it was the old chavs day in day out. chavs asking to borrow 10p or cigs, it used to do ma head in...lol

[bridlad]

As far as i know its definetly not the same.lol. Never been in there to be truthful but you could always see them hanging around outside!
If anyone else is not interested i will list it on Ebay tomorrow
