Would anyone be interested in an original Jukebox and/or more music paraphanalia from 50/60/70s era


Recommended Posts

My parents are moving house and selling some original pieces due to downsizing.


There is a collection of original concert posters (signed), a fabulous Jukebox my father has had since University (still working but in need of a little rejuvenation), an original One Armed-Bandit and many more items - a 6 chair original formica diner table from the 60's etc.


They are based in Shropshire so I'm aiming to help them sell some amazing pieces that I annoyingly don't have space for. Will attach pictures if interest demands!

One Armed Bandit - The slot machine is a 1939 Mills War Eagle. When it was imported from the USA it was converted to play using 6d and the numerals on the reels, as opposed to fruits, were to give the appearance of a game of skill to get around the gambling laws

The jukebox is an Ami H 200 from 1957

It was restored in 2001 but due to lack of use the mechanism needs work doing on it, like the

pulse converter needs changing. The machine still plays records and sounds great.

    • Thanks TWB, that is all really useful. However, if  memory serves, The Fox Project actually directed me to The Fox Angels when I phoned them, and had no facilities in this area for sending anybody out themselves. They seem to be based in Tunbridge Wells. The Greenwich Wildlife Network also just suggests other organisations who may help in certain situations. To the best of my knowledge, however, for situations involving foxes, including injured or ill  foxes, Fox Angels are the only people who have someone available very locally who can come out virtually immediately (I waited maybe half an hour after I phoned them). The person who came had all the necessary equipment to move the fox, was very gentle and caring, and took the fox to a local vet (it sadly died). It's possible that if you phoned a local vet they would help, if you could get the fox there. The RSPCA has guidelines on what to do if you find an  animal in need,  however although they have recently had a campaign on this (and sent me a badge and a copy of the guidelines on a pocket sized card) I can't find them online. I attach a photo. Don't know if the QR code would work from a photo.    
    • My mum (91 years young!) well remembers going to Austin's as a child, which she described as an 'Aladdin's Cave'!  She absolutely loved it - and is still a shopping fiend to this day (I 'blame' Austin's 😉). Going back up Peckham Rye, passing Austin's on your right hand-side, just past Phillips Walk (so not far from Austin's at all), I believe there was a British Relay Wireless shop - this would have been in the late 1930s/early 1940s.  Does anyone know anything about this? My grandad (my mum's dad) used to manage it; it was severely damaged in The Blitz - but I am having trouble locating it.  Mum's memory is dim (she was 6 at the time); she originally thought it was in Rye Lane, but we think now it was in Peckham Rye just up from Phillips Walk (originally Phillips Road). 
    • Thanks everyone, this will need to be reported again as the fox was still mobile and walking down the road when last seen... hopefully someone will spot and report.
