I remember these suddenly arriving on Paignton pier. The cases were so well designed and robust, costing more than the German Wulff mechanism they put inside. I have one and like yours I am astonished how well the chrome has kept after nearly 60 years.

What a good looking machine in great condition. I don't know who made it but it's obviously a mech from a Duchess type machine. I have a Duchess type called " Royal" and that has what I call weird payouts. You get nothing for 3 oranges or 3 plums ! Also, you can put loads of pennies through it without a decent win but as I was told, once it starts to pay it seems to pay for a bit and then it goes back and you win nothing for ages. Probably why the cashbox on a Duchess is enormous and if it was full you need to be "Hercules" to remove it. Showmen must have made a fortune on these. Not a machine I would normally associate with you but I can see the appeal. Well done on another great addition.

Absolute Beauty Rob, as to her origins I think I might know, my Wulff Orion has those same reels fitted and the same reward pattern so it's possible she is a rebodied Wulff (not unusual as the standard bodies can be a bit bland), if you like I can try and get you a pic of its reward card as it's one shows the Line payouts aswell as the other Combinations.

@Segafishy, Strange as the awards card hasn't been defaced or anything, I rather LIKE the mystery payouts, Thanks Again for Commenting

@@supershotbattymanbor direct reply things still doing the wrong name, but likely no the Card won't have been tampered with or anything like that, simply as you might have seen the Germans post war had a 3 year limit on service life so when that was done it was either destroy or export and many were sent over here and occasionaly rebodied when they were anglosised. My Orion for instance got its number dials altered to fruit and then given an english reward card that matched, the clock etc remained the same so the lines are usually matched to what would have been one of the number combos but wouldn't otherwise correspond to normal fruit. Its quite fascinating and makes them very special in a way, if you ever change your mind about wanting the payout list just shout as I'm making a digital copy anyway to preserve it in case the original is ever damaged or someone needs a replacement.

@Segafishy, Thanks for the award card offer but I am happy enough to let this machine make mystery payouts as we don't know the exact awards for a mystery payout, so makes it more interesting
