Whittaker Bros., from Shaw in Lancashire, England, produced a variety of simple coin-operated machines with interchangeable perspex screens.

Two nixie tubes were placed in the eyes of various characters. Your job is to put a coin in and use a button to stop the display on winning numbers, to gain a payout.

I have details of machines various called "Beat the Blinkers", "Beat the Bandit" and "Beat the Clown".

The machines featured a standard GPO (the UK Post Office) Strowger uniselector, a bell-type system to step the selector and the two nixie tubes.
