A "Hankin Cocktail Table" is a machine that was manufactured by A.Hankin & Co of Newcastle 'back in the day' when arcades ruled. They were among the most popular video game tables used by arcade operators.

This style of machine has been ruthlessly copied by all and sundry over the years with no credit being attributed to Hankin (much to the disgust of Mr Hankin).

I have the licence from David Hankin to reproduce the original machine as made by them and these will be released very soon. The only holdup at the moment is the stamping die for the glass corner clips.

Please be careful about using the Hankin logo as it is the copyright property of A.Hankin & Co. It's nothing to do with me and if used for 'personal use' I will assume is OK but to print and sell (even at cost price) is breaking many Australian IP laws - just sayin'.......


Here is a pic (full credit to the owner of the pic whoever that is - Google found it for me).

Mr Hankin would be happy to know that his tables were by far the best EVER made. I remember they were twice as heavy as the Space Invader cocktail clones. Great to hear you will be remaking them.
