I would imagine it would be an electromechanical machine, probably from the mid to late 70's

My earliest memories of actually playing a machine, was around 1975, when I would have been around 5. I remember playing at least one Brenco machine around a friend of my mums, who had it loaned for a charity event. But those machines I'm pretty sure had holds only, not nudges.

That's not what I call a feature, to me anyway, is where you climb some sort of trail, and nudges is one of the "features" at the end of it.

That's just what I would call a nudge now type.  Nice site though, never saw it before.

LineUp is probably an early one.  In that you're climbing a trail, with feature holds etc, but you don't get it at the end. So, something like Big Shot maybe?

Who knows, these days I can't remember sod all.  These days I can't even remember me feet....and I've just come home, so I can draw the curtains, as I've transformed, overnight, into either of my Grandmothers...said he typing, with a smashing cardie on.

NQ.

Hi

I believe the first machines to have a nudge feature were made by Carfield Engeneers in Leeds (still going but now known as Dransfield) however I cannot remember the names of any of these machines now, I remember playing one on 2p play in the local arcades in the late 70s, essentially all the other manufactures had to pay Carfield a licence fee to use there Nudge feature, if you look on the reel glasses of nudge gambler and also on Nudges unlimited you will see Licenced under Carfield nudge patent no (the patent no),

 

If you want to read more scroll down this page on Dransfields current web site for the section the history of the nudge

Hi

 

No probs carfield also made a traveling fair ground ride round 1976 called round up although different operators gave it different names essentially it was lots of cages in a circle and you all stood up In them and the ride spun fast then went up on its axis, basicly a big spin dryer and the centrifugle force pushed you back into the cage while in the air so when you were pointing face down you did not fall out, I spent many quid on that thing when it was out summer fair week

I remember Carfields Jumping Jack 5p play and Seesaw 10p with a nudge up and down feature, Dransfields Blast off 5p play with 10 nudges that didnt timeout giving you time to look at the reels.
