A timeless classic we probably all had as kids is still in production – the Cadbury’s Dairy Milk Miniatures Dispenser Machine.
Yes, it’s the money box that gives something back – chocolate. Once upon a time, this machine took a penny. Then it went up to 2p and slowly but surely made it to the current price of a piece of chocolate, which is 10p. I’ll be honest, that seems a bit pricey for a small miniature in light of the price of a box of Celebrations these days. But you aren’t actually buying any chocolate.
No, this machine is designed to help you save up, with the small Cadbury’s treat just there to soften the blow when you part with your hard-earned cash. And let’s be honest, you aren’t really parting with it. Just a click and you have access to all that lovely cash.
How much? Well, if you empty the entire machine of its chocolate supplies, the Cadbury’s Dairy Milk Miniatures Dispenser will be holding £8. If you have done the maths you will work out that it holds up to 80 of the little blocks, which is, coincidentally, the number of mini bars that come with this machine.
Now, the mixed news on the machine’s availability. This one comes and goes from the Cadbury’s store quite often, so it’s a case of looking out for it on there. They tend to be more plentiful in the run-up to Christmas for obvious reasons and when they were last in stock at the Cadbury’s gift site, the 25cm tall machine was selling for £13 complete with the 80 mini chocolate bars.
But it does go out of stock for long periods and as I write, the mini bars of chocolate are hard to find too. There is one retailer selling replacement bars for the machine that aren’t Cadbury’s that will at least keep your machine happy, if not your taste buds. Actually, the latter might not be true – I haven’t tried the replacement chocolate.
Note that if you can’t get the machines directly from Cadbury, you can pick up a mix of modern and vintage machines via eBay.

The Bryans Penny Arcadeby Melvyn Wright
This web site is a tribute to W.E.Bryan, the inventive genius of the BritishSlot Machine industry. It contains a complete listing of his machines,along with photographs and information about each machine. There isalso a Collectors' Corner, where Bryans enthusiasts can buy, sell, and swapmachines with other collectors.
I am always interested in hearing from fellow Bryans collectors, particularlyif you can supply any additional information for these pages, especiallyphotographs.

| W.E.Bryan and his slot machines William Edward Bryan was born in 1894, and opened up his slot machine factory at Kegworth, Derbyshire (England) in 1920. He had served his apprenticeship with Rolls Royce and worked as a motor mechanic in his own garage. The local showmen would bring their slot machines to his garage for him to repair. He became fascinated by these slot machines, and was convinced that he could design better and more reliable examples. How right he was! He soon left the garage trade, and began producing slot machines full-time. Bryan was a mechanical genius, who invented 48 different amusement machine designs, and patented many improvements to their mechanisms. Whereas other slot machine manufacturers would simply copy existing ideas, perhaps with different artwork, Bryan would devise totally new and original games. Even games which outwardly appeared to be similar to standard machines had additional features like replays, multiple-payouts, jackpots and operator customisation. It seems that no mechanical problem would be too complex for Bryan's inventive mind to solve, and his solutions were often deceptively simple. Some of his machines were full of a bewildering array of levers, wheels and linkages; but they were always very reliable. They had to be, otherwise he would have been out of business very quickly. |
|
| Bryan officially retired in 1966, but his inventive skills proved impossible to replace, and he continued design work for the factory until 1973. He died in 1984. The Bryans Automatic Works still continued to trade in Kegworth up until the year 2000, run by William's son, Jim Bryan. As well as supplying new machines, they also supplied spare parts and undertook repairs for machine operators and collectors. The value of Bryans machines, and the interest in them, has risen significantly in the last few years, as slot machine enthusiasts have come to appreciate his fascinating games, and the clever mechanisms behind them.
