Wondermatics Teddy's Funfair penny slot machine, with personalised panel, oak cabinet, with internal metal ball track, pierced metal decorated and central instructions, 87 x 64 x 18cm
In the bright and colourful world of penny-in-the-slot arcades amusement machines vie for attention of the visitors. For the manufacturers of these vintage slot machines, background artwork was a critical feature. Wondermatics Ltd founded by Tudah Walter Glover in the early 1950’s maximised on the elaborately coloured backgrounds for their Allwin machines and represent some of the most eye-catching designs available to penny-in-the-slot machine collectors today.
The machine is locked and we do not have a key to open it, when you put a 1d coin in a ball drops and the mechanism appears to be working as it should, staining to the timber casing as shown, the left hand knob does not turn but maybe it needs more money than the 1d we put in
