The top ad is dated 1981 and is for Bordermatics. They supplied local pubs & clubs with gaming machines, jukeboxes, pool tables etc, and were located at 137 Lorne Street at the time.
I also have another ad of theirs from 1984 and by then they had relocated to 109 High Street, Lochee where they shared premises with Cherry Video rentals.
Bordermatics are still on the go, only now they are based in Broughty Ferry.
I suppose Hynd Bros have done a bit of business with Bordermatics over the years, what with the Hynd's having had an amusement arcade in Reform Street for many years.
The first of the Hynd Bros ads is dated 1972 and is for an exhibition of arcade games at the Angus Hotel.
Then a jump to 1986 and they were announcing the very latest in gaming machines - the Laser Disc System.
In 1988 Hynd Bros had a Scottish exclusive - the first appearance of After Burner.
