Answer is a fruit machine/slot machine, to be exact - but I think you got the right idea.

Renodox

Okay people obviously lost interest with the old riddles.  The answer to the number 1 riddle I put up was:

Colts

1. Two legs it has,
And this will confound
Only at res,
Do they touch the ground.

2. She has tasteful friend
And tasteless enemies
Tears are often shed on her behalf
Yes never has she broken a heart.

3. In all the world, none can compare,
To this tiny weaver his deadly cloth
So silky and fair.

Stupot

I haven't got a clue about 2 or 3 but could 1 be a helicopter? I was going to say 'bird' but they can be on 2 feet and still not resting.

Renodox

No helicopter is wrong.  It's not quite so modern.

I'm worried that this is going to end up like the last one.  However, 2 and 3 are correct.  To help things along a bit,

Spoiler
The first one is a device that was used both in the middle ages and today.

A wheelbarrow? They have kind of legs that you rest them on when you are no longer pushing it.

Renodox

Correct!

1. You can see it in winter,
Never in summer
Even though it is as light
As a feather, the mightiest
Man in the north can hold it
For long.

2. Every creature in the world
Has seen it.
But to their dying day
they'll never see
The same one again.

3. Kingdom soldiers will
Look like it,
When the headsman
Gives them a lop.
For then, like it, they'll
Have a neck
But not a head on top.

It's the end of space
It's the beginning of eternity

What is it?

Haggis

It was a "speed-e" response


Renodox

Both "Breath" and "Today" are correct.  Still waiting for the third one.

3... hmm... a sweater?  Tunic?
