I had a bit of a brainwave today. Wife wants one arm bandit, but she also wants space. I want to collect fruit machines, and have no space. And browsing ebay, I had a brainwave- I will collect minitures. Toy fruit machines! one arm bandits have been made in toy and desktop form since the year dot, and looking on ebay theres a veriaty of them out there, so

UNWANTED TOY MACHINES wanted, anything considered, old or new!

Its going to be fun collecting these, and I think wife will be very pleased at having a collection that can be put away in a cupboard at the end of the day- who knows, in a couple of years I might have amassed a nice lot...


call me nuts, but I think its worth it, and who knows I may start making my own too, you can get very small stepper motors these days!!

Just look at some of the diverse stuff thats out there- this for example:

Of course, being on a budget, I will be starting with the really simple ones, but that dont bother me. And yeah, I cant fix these really, but I dont mind that either. I just want a collection of fruit machines that keeps everyone at home happy, and I think this is the way to go!

so to repeat, if you got a toy fruity collecting dust somewhere, and you dont want it, or its broken, or its simply forgotten about, let me know!

who knows it might even keep my nutty kid James happy long enough to stop him drawing on the wall!
