Whales & Company Four Sided Allwin

[JACKSJE4]

I did have a Whales & Co. parts machine last year, but I sold it to mudfud and she was going to try to revive it. I'm not sure she ever touched the project, as that was right before she started her new job and she has been out of the hobby since.

You may want to send a private message to user mudfud and ask her if she would be willing to sell her "broken" Allwin that she bought from me. As I recall, all of the payout mechanisms were intact. The main problem with the machine was extensive shipping damage to the cabinet.

I do have another Whales & Co "parts" machine, but all of the mechanics were stripped from the inside of the machine before I bought it.

hello everyone
first time here and trying to find my way around.i was looking at old posts and finally found this one so i have to REPLY.
i was the luckie guy who was the winning bidder on this machine.it will need work as the payout parts are all missing so if you were playing and won you would not get your cig,candy bar or gum.(winter project)..the seller is shipping it out today (july 7th 2011) and it should be in new york friday july 8th.im in ontario canada so i will drive down and pick it up at the airport...road trip
ill let you know how it goes..

thanks jeff..hopefully they got my message ...

sorry for all the question,but i do have one more ..

im only interested in mechinical allwins,slots ...not into anything electronic or new

my question is what areas in this web site are better suited for me to look at
thanks again
scottie

[JACKSJE4]

No worries about the questions, Scottie. That's exactly what this site is here for.

I also prefer the vintage, non-electronic games so I scour craigslist and ebay daily looking for games the pique my interest. They tend to come in waves, meaning that there will be a dry spell for a long period, then all of the sudden there are 2-3 games for sale within a day of each other or at the same time. Be patient and keep looking. I do post the coin-op games I am not interested in on this site in the eBay and Craigslist forums.

I'm sure some of our other members will reply to this post with their thoughts to your question.

[emmadog]

congrats on a very cool machine. i'm partial to all-mechanical things as well. there's a yahoo group called prewar pinball that has some very interesting machines and pictures and there's a website as well.

[scottie banks]

THANK YOU ALL ONCE AGAIN!!
wow what a nice group of people in here...im sure ill be spending some time speaking with some of you
just getting used to my way around in this web site...
i posted a picture of one of the sides of the machine...WIN-A-CHEW...
i havent heard if it was shipped out today yet,but once it leaves washington state it will not take much time getting to upstate n.y
if any of you do have allwin parts just sitting around ,drop me a line as to what you have,im sure ill need a few to restore this one
thanks

Scottie,

I don't think I have any spare parts (although I will check), but do you need photos of the missing parts? I can take pics of my Whales & Company "Win a Nestle" machine, which is the same vintage and complete.

Let me know if pics would help.

Jeff

[scottie banks]

hi jeff
yes i will take you up on your offer of pictures thank you so much
close-ups of the "payout" where the choc.bar would slide into the tin chute and out to the player would be great.
i was thinking of copying my "payout" from a 'WIN-A-GIFT" ...which i think would be the same size and shape as the "WIN-A NESTLE...
i think i can make some of the parts i need...tin parts,middle and bottom coin chutes ..but the top coin chute is much different (cast?)...im working out a deal right now with a guy on the west coast for a few parts...
oh bye the way, do you put any choc bars in your machine? does the modern choc bar fit okay???
i was also thinking of buying a choc bar and use that as a guide when i make some of the parts
scottie

[scottie banks]

hi all
not too much to report as i have a few other things on the go
i did receice a box of parts from the west coast today...i bought everything the guy had (i only needed 5 or 6 parts) but i was think for later on if i get another machine thats missing part ...im ahead of the game lol

question for jeff...what do you load in your WIN-A-NESTLES...what kind of choc bar?

cheers
scottie

[JACKSJE4]

question for jeff...what do you load in your WIN-A-NESTLES...what kind of choc bar?

Funny you should ask. I was thinking about this the other day. I have not really looked for something to load in it yet, as the machine needs a lot of attention before it will work, however I was at Cost Plus/World Market over the weekend and I found many types of imported chocolate bars, some of which might fit perfectly. I have not tried any, but I think there are some options there.

Do you have those stores where you live?

[scottie banks]

hi Jeff

we dont have that store here(never heard of that one)
no rush,but if you do pick up a choc bar that works well in your machine ,i just wondering the size of it so i would know where to start makeing the parts i need...kind of working backwards lol
i know there is one store here that sells a lot of stuff from the u.k. (scotish/british) so i will have to make a trip there to check out thier candy section

thanks
scottie

[JACKSJE4]

Here are some pics of my Win a Nestle machine. Hope these help you figure what parts are missing. Let me know if you need any close-ups.
