Any guesses on this?

Hi again

About the reel strips! You are right; you at this time a reels strip from a Mills 10 stop! Seem to be in metal, so remove them nicely and take care of them!!!
Your VERY nice Victoria need reels strip with Fortune teller!! Ask to Mrslot1 or Rick Frink , they have it on their catalog !But check your first reel before. There are two versions; the standard and the special! There is a lemon (special) or a cherry (standard) at the end of the strip, just before the “Bar”!

Thank you Stephane !
I remembered there were many variations , noted by a letter but, Me not being that knowledgeable on older Jennings , didn't say anything.
so a sign ,that holds goodies that can be bought at a discount if you win (?), "trade the winning tokens back in".
What the Japanese still do today on their "skill stop gaming machines".
with the Governments' o.k. on real gambling over there,these machines should disappear soon. might be collectible too, some day.
not sure why the strips were changed, other than was needed way back when by an operator , and this is what he had.

Yes; Jennings sure did a lot of design changes on their castings;
the Dutch Boys dance all over the front of those machines.
The front design on this one does look like a Little Duke and could very well be a Jennings variation.
The reel strips, as I indicated, may mean the machine passed through Rock Ola hands at some point.
In some cases, revamps made very little changes to the machine, maybe just enough to get it back on location.
The thread asked for guesses at that was my first reaction.
Could this have been an export model that has been converted back to 5 cent? Who knows for sure?
If the machines could talk, that would help, but there is a lot we will never know for sure.

The remaining brass plate is not sharp on top or bottom,guess that one is going to remain a mystery. As far as the reel strips themselves, 1st reel, as playing machine ends lemon, bell fruit and a bell. 2nd ends cherry, plum then a bell. 3rd ends plum ,lemon then a bell. The reels themselves look to be original, now Id like to find some original fortune telling strips (might be a tough one.) I did go to the French site and saw this model and when I clicked on it ,it said D or was that just a label for the picture? Now to find a cash box and lower back door. Previous owner had made a cash box door/drawer combo. If it looked period I would consider keeping it but it looks awful.

Hi Briank
You are right about the "D" , I made a mistake ! This one is also a "F" and the 1932 have been removed ! The D is nearly the same than the "f" except for the Jackpot windows !
I will try to find a good photo !And you can see the "F" with the 1932 on it !
For be sure , it s easy ,look inside , check the Ref on the front casting !The model is written on it (sorry , it s written in reverse on the casting )!

Here is a Victoria Revamp from Tura ( German distributor in Europe !) !
Look the Patent number !!Erased !! And skill stop .

About the reels strip ; you must to have this symbol ( with FT !! )
Good luck for find an original strips !!
About cashbox , look your PM .

could it be a plate to stop cheats drilling through the side as they did in later timber sided machines to manipulate payout arms. In the 60's we placed stainless steel plates inside the machines to prevent the drilling through the sides of the machines. Don't know if and when this plate might have been affixed as battery drills would not have been availabke when this machine was manufactured. The drill was tiny fixed to a finger with a ring and small motor. They would drill a tiny hole and insert piano wireto hook slide arms but I think the plate would have to be a lot lower.Just a though!!!

Horatio!
The guys we caught in the casinos in the 60's after drilling the hole would us a bicycle spoke to push into the slot to hold the reels on a payout and drain the tube!
When we would catch them we would take them up to the slot shop and take the battery belt they had under their clothing which operated the drill and beat the crap out of them with it!
Then we'd throw them into the parking lot and call the county coppers and tell them we had a vagrant in the parking lot who looked like he got into a fight!
No questions were ever asked, the 60's were a great time to work in the casinos!
We didn't take kindly to slot cheats or "Crossroaders" as they were called!

Yeah Monti! My kinda guy, from the 60's. And a few broken knuckles to top it off!
This is the same kind of attitude I have today, for wife beaters, and child molesters. Only difference, is my method of torture
involves laying the dude face down behind a Hummer, with his hands tied behind. Then chain his ankles to the trailer hitch,
and drag him for several miles over a gravel road on his face. The chin and nose usually come off first!
