Ahh thanks for the heads up on V Payne, I was only saying today I may restore it back to original but we decided not too and it’s such an eye catcher. Hope yours is coming along nicely.

It’s the only way! 🤣

Sorry it's not for sale, we use it in our old Penny arcade!

I'm with you on this!!

It was around £200 if my memory serves me right. That was about 4years ago now, if that helps!

Thanks for watching! You’re our first, we loaded it up yesterday morning and it’s taken until today to show up! 😄

@@amusementsrevisited Wow! Fantastic restoration I have to say it looks so much better than it did before. Before it looked all sad and almost abandoned it's such a shame these days there's not so many of these in arcades although now you sometimes see them in old penny arcade machines. The hand and feet buttons remind of an old puppet machine called Peppy The Clown where you control the clown's arms and legs whilst he sings I think there's plenty of videos of that machine on RUclips I think it's made by Williams.

@@HarryYT22 Thank you for your kind words! Yes, I agree, it's sad not seeing these old puppet shows around seaside resorts anymore...they need to come back into fashion. It's funny you say that, my thought was Williams, because the stencil on the side was very reminiscent of pinball designs and similar colours too. Also Zelda had mentioned Williams did the Peppy the Clown and those buttons are definitely the same. I'd love to think it was a Williams machine, that lost it's way somewhere.

@@amusementsrevisited I'd say the rarest machine I have seen in an arcade up in Chapel St Leonard's once was a laughing sailor. He didn't have an original laugh but everything else looked original including the figure inside.

I’ve seen a couple of reproductions but would love to see an original in the flesh!

Fantastic! It's a great little set of boats; have fun with the painting!

Same here, the Mrs begged me to make her one, so couldnt refuse her. haha

Really appreciate that, hopefully lots more content to watch this year.

We sold ours on, as we found kids were scared of them, but I do miss them. I bet your side stall looked fabulous! I'd sad ours have gone now!

Thank you for your wonderful comments, we're so lucky Chris is a fairground artist by trade, so all our attractions look beautiful. I don't know how he puts up with me, telling him what to build! 😂 Chris said he think a lot of Edwards' machines went to Dingles. You have exactly Chris' taste in machine, he wanted the See Saw, I love the old Allwins (ironically I'm 9 years younger than Chris..but an old soul!) *lol*. I can well see why you miss your machines and they're ridiculously hard to get back now too. *sob*. Thanks so much for subscribing; very much appreciated!

@@amusementsrevisited Thanks for your reply very interesting to learn alot of Edward's old games machines ended up at Dingles that makes sense with the fairground rides there. I miss my machines so much especially seeing similar versions on RUclips. I had a Sega Space Trek cocktail space invaders, see saw, a bally 2p Cascade Star bandit and several old 80s Jpm Bell Fruit machines and Jamma video cabinets in the bedroom and in the garage when at home with my parents. It's when I went travelling with fair at 16yo I sold all the machines as my parents were moving downsizing property. To see the value of these machines is astonishing but it's not the money just wish had them all back now. Again lovely to see your arcade and the traditional fairground artwork is a real talent 👍

Thank You!

It's seeing puppet show slot machines like you remember in Redcar, which sparked my love of them!

Same for us; thought it would be a good filler, but actually love it! Is OPM still there? We love coming along and spending some pennies at arcades!

Not operating but still got the collection plus more! Are you Yorkshire based?@@amusementsrevisited

Thanks, will do! Glad they're going down so well!

It's funny you say that as we did discuss putting a voice box in, but liked the sound of the creaking arms and drop of the coin more, which we felt more atmospheric. I am SO EXCITED about the puppet show (not sure if Chris feels the same *lol*). I'm keeping everything crossed we find a makers mark somewhere on it. Thanks for watching!

No problem 😊

Sadly, we've sold this set on, so can't help I'm afraid.

Thank you!

Gotta love a Top Spin Ride!

Thank you so much; it was a delight to renovate!

Thanks so much for such kind comments. Unfortunately, my days building Swingboats are long gone, so thank you for the offer, which I'll politely decline. You could check out vintage sets, eBay have them come up regularly. Look for paperwork with them if wanting to use commercially. Lots of luck!

That must be some set! I'm getting too old for an adult set; lovely to hear yours comes with 6 kids boats too!

It's a fabulous van, especially for a couple, so much space! Have some great travels this year.

I'm not disagreeing with that ask! :)

Sorry for delay replying, you could well have sorted it by now. Yes, I used Marine Ply and the legs are Douglas Fir (I think) and the top beam Oak (quite the Heinz 57!) Regarding patterns, Doug Roseman Engineering does scaled patterns for Swingboats, maybe worth a shot. Thanks for watching; much appreciated.

haha! I'm with you there regarding spamming series! Good luck if you go for a build!

Same here; delighted to see them at the Festival!

Hi Will, thanks for your lovely message, we're delighted you found something enjoyable in the videos. We essentially placed up these video's for folks who wanted the odd attraction to help them along, not a whole business to replicate our own, particularly as we cover the UK, but thanks for thinking of us!

@@amusementsrevisited Thanks for your reply, sorry I didn't realise you were nationwide!, completely appreciate that would not be something you can help with 😁. Looking forward to more of the videos, currently I work for a business selling Sheds Summerhouses and Garden rooms up here in Northumberland and as you can probably imagine customers can be cfar and few at this time of the year 😁, so your content would be well received. Thanks again Will

Thank you! Are you gonna have a go at your own striker now then? 👍🏻

Thank you! Delighted you like it!

Love that idea! Happy camping!

Great you love the videos! Thank you! Tbh I think to change the size of the backboard you’d need to scale the box and mech up, as the arm would need a bigger swing to lift the mouse higher. Hope that helps!

@amusementsrevisited Thanks for your message, l will build a striker so thank you for your video and channel, if I can upscale I will message you with some pictures. Thanks Will

@@williamroberts9852 looking forward to seeing it completed! 👍🏻

The side bits that say test your strength and the mighty striker bits

Hi there! Sorry for the delay. To add side panels, you’d need to get hold of 4 pieces of flat bar 30cm length 25mm x 6mm. Bolt half the bar to the side panel horizontally near the top and do the same a couple of feet further down. Then bolt and wing nut them on to the main panel. Hope that makes sense! 😬

Hello and thankyou for your reply back to me that makes sense to do it that way thankyou very much for that I will get photos if RUclips will allow me to and give you my progress on mine. Watching your videos has help me a lot and I've done it all by the book too. I've had mine out on a few occasions for charity events and I must say it is very popular 👍👍🙂🙂

The speckled yellow case ones look fabulous! Nice investment there then! 👍🏻

Sat in ours now, so relaxing! I agree they’re fabulous! Happy travels in your 420. ☀️

We’ve got a 320…with a mover..but no shower curtain.,

@@griswald7156 I also have ka mover - my wife! She ist the best mover, Pusher and puller J

@@jeandechabrier3998 how could i fit your wife to my chassis ?

Absolute pleasure!

Bonjour! Great to hear and lots of luck! 🍀

Wouldn’t say no to that myself even! 😁

Sadly, this is the way I was taught and built so not sure using an 18mm would work as it’s all measured to create grooves for the top and bottom. Good luck!!

@@amusementsrevisited thankyou for your reply. The one I'm doing is near on finished and hopefully should work as it should but like you say in the mouse video it's a pain in the backside

Thank you! Must admit this set was a pleasure to own and run

Just had a look, very beautiful artwork! Thanks for watching 🥰

Thank you so much! Welcome!

Thanks for watching!

Absolutely! That said I do adore the vintage Gottlieb machines...fabulous artwork on them!

​@@amusementsrevisited I love the design of the threedimensional cast metal parts (kind of loom shuttle shape?) with the wire rails. Early pinball playfield layouts are really inspiring.

Thank you! I only have the score card, but I should also say at this point, it wasn't 100% accurate to the original, but happy to send it over if you'd like it.

@@amusementsrevisited thank you - I sent you an email

Thank you so much for your positive comments; much appreciated! The fortune teller build sounds great, that’s on my to do list. Lots of luck with yours. Made a couple some years back from acrylic glass, absolute pain to do though. 🤣

Thanks for your message! You can make the box about a third bigger, but keep the same width along with the backboard, then make the backboard higher (same width again) and add a set of legs and the rear for stability.

@@amusementsrevisited Thank you ..I liked your kids swingboat build ...was going to build a set but was put off ..as one needs a design build plans I have been told and don't know the next steps even where to get such a thing ..pity ..

Absolute favourite ride of ours, and thanks for the sub too!

@@amusementsrevisited I was interested in building swingboats but have asked about and it seems I have get a design build first etc ..couldn't get any further as didn't know where to turn to ...

@@cathedralImages yes sadly any rides you want to build must have design review on and ADIPS testing (for insurance purposes) if wanting to take them out. Rundles is where we get our rides tested so perhaps a good place for you to look into costs (depending on the ride you wanted testing).

@@amusementsrevisited Thank you 😊

@@cathedralImages Should also add, if you buy a set of Swingboats that need 'doing up' and have previous ADIPS paperwork, you should be able to forgo the design review.
