Like i stated in the subject line I was recently given a Jennings "CLUB CHIEF" 5cent that was headed for the trash dumpster. It was originally installed in the Chief Petty Officers (CPO) club in Yokosuka Japan the reason I know this is when i opened it up the coin drawer was full was full of CPO Yokosuka 5cent and 10cent Tokens. it has the red plastic front but no lights are installed also the jackpot window has the" guaranteed jackpot" sign in it and the door on top of the Jackpot window does not have the indian head on it instead it has 3 rivets where it is suppose to be but the look like it was done by the manufacturer the handel and drum work but the rest seems to be disconnected. I recently purchased the repair and parts book from ebay so i can hopefully get it back in working order in the near future. my question is do i leave as is or try and find the indian head door reinstall the lights and so on the machine is over all is in very good shape the solid oak cabinet is immaculate the bottom chrome is in good shape for the age of the machine and the top appears to be polished aluminum that is in need of a little smooth and polish work. please let me know which way i should go with this.
this is my first antique slot and i am very excited to get all the functionality back plus I think it will be so cool to just have the pay out counter is over 57,000 so it is a very used machine. thank you for any inputs
