visit until June :-[ I have Barcest Thunderbird, Super Adders
& Ladders, Club Cops & Robbers, Top Tenner, and Only Fools &
Horses which unfortunatley is not working at present but Mr P is
kindly repairing the boards for me 8) I hope you manage to add a
more modern classic to your collection.
Cheers
Phil

Barcrest Thunderbird is one of my favourite machines, how long
you owned yours? I regret ever selling mine!

Hi Daddy Al, I have had my Barcrest Thunderbird for about 10
years now! And yes I understand why you regret selling yours,it
does give great gameplay and the sounds and features are
especially the super ones!
I was reading your posting of your travels to other arcades and
see you found 2 no less in the wild! I have not seen one in the
wild since 1 was in my local pub over 10 years ago! Where is the
arcade you refer to?
I have left some pics of my Thunderbird with Mr P to pass onto
Tommy who is going to try and do an emulation of it. Hopefully
see you in June
Cheers
Phil

Hi Phil,
Where did you get your Thunderbird from? I found those two in an
arcade called Sun City up in the North East seaside town on
Ingoldmells. I can only recall seeing two in the wild, this
being the third time

Welcome aboard Gordon.
Brilliant Mills you have there!
I am rather partial to a one arm bandit myself although mine are
soley Ballys (at the moment).
Aside from those, I do like the styling of the Mills High Tops
and also the Sega machines of the same era.

Gordon.
