    Vintage virgin shooting gallery.

    I recently came across a vintage airgun gallery. American looks like 1970s, the owner wants £1200 needs restoring but looks like it will make a good project. Put coin in and receive a few pellets, three targets at rear that look like they might revolve. No luck on Google to find any info on it.

    It will be this one, Mac. Actually a German import, made by Bergmann in collaboration with Dianawerk, and dating to the 1960's. A very rare find, and a great project for someone.

    Thank you for your replies, still don't know if it is worth the asking price.Probably have another look at it. Have since found pictures of the mechanism. Looks doable.

    All automatic arcade games are expensive, and a shooting one probably in the higher range. Fully restored that one could be worth around £3000 in my opinion. Possibly even more, as there is a strong collecting scene for all arcade automata - have a look here for some early shooting related examples:

    I especially like the last one, with the 4 pistols pointing at each other.
