First off - The "King's Horses" is a bit more scarce, than some of the other Horse Race machines. It should be a definite 'GO', if it's complete,
and in good condition. There are no parts available for this machine, (original or repro), to my knowledge. The wood case is fixable, as long
as it's not trashed. The front casting, with ABT coin acceptor, and eight betting slots, should be intact. All eight horses, unbroken. The center
roulette style odds wheel & race. The tilt mechanism, finish post, instruction card, and Finish card, should all be there. The two sections of
top glass are an easy replacement, if cracked or missing, and the back door with lock, is hopefully there. As far as price goes, it's all going to
depend on condition. On the low end, being complete, and needing easily replaceable parts, would be in the $550 + range, and a really nice
and complete original, ready to display, in the $850 + range. This high is quite conservative, as I did see a nice one sell for over $1,000 a few
years ago. If you do purchase it, and need the instruction card, I am sure that I have one on file, that I never had printed. Good luck with
your possible purchases.
