First ,welcome to the forum !!!
can't really give a good idea on a price, not seen that often. only made from june 1941 - end of 1942 (I believe) , & production not resumed on this machine after WW2.
I do own one, fully working, paint a little beat up & missing (or never had) the bally metal plate. I paid $400.00 for it locally & was delivered for free. Now we both know it's worth more than 400. I would estimate it being a $1,200.00 machine, fully working , nothing huge wrong with it.
these Don't have any transformers in them... So don't poke around inside them when they're plugged in = straight 110 volts. mine had an ill fitting "tin" cash box in it ,& replaced it with a wood one. was just a bit to close to a bunch of live wires. might be a variation of this also , not sure.
Information on this is non existent, including sales ads.
I've seen 2 others up for sale but, had already sold ,so the wanted price was no longer shown. was a collector in Chicago really interested in one.
I'll stare at the photos a bit to see if I see any issues (in my opinion). Any other photos of the inside ?
