Thought some of you might like my latest addition to the restoration que.
     Its a 1930s Atlas / Gottlieb Grip tester I'm very excited about this one it needs a complete restore and there is zero reason not to which is great the last few old girls I picked up to restore were in to good original condition to restore.

That will look fantastic all done up mate! Where on earth do you dig these items up from? You should have your own TV show!!

Very cool. 

Imagine if you guys combined all your stuff and had a travelling coin operated museum.  It would be awesome.

I think I might open my shed up as a coin op museum I have to much stuff to travel with lol

You know you don't really want it.. you only bought it to stop me from having it. That's twice you've done that and yes, im keeping a detailed log!

Hey Millsy
       You put your penny in and squeeze the handle the harder you squeeze it the higher the gauge goes.
   There is a bell that if you reach a certain strength it rings a bell.

     There is a cool video on you tube with a restored one its beautiful

It'd be no match for my wankers grip, i'd be ringing the bell in seconds lolololol  ;-)

Small update on this one.   All parts have been stripped back to individual pieces after being soaked in wd40 was just a massive pile of rust inside.

   The handles and coin entry have been sent of to the chrome platers and the red housing is being painted by Stewy a local panel beater as a payment for a pin repair.  I wanted to do it myself but when he offered I figured that way it might actually get painted lol
