Opinions on this machine?

Postby SlotFan » Sat Jan 21, 2017 11:05 am

I am considering buying this machine and would love to hear opinions from the experts here. I am told it was converted from a penny machine to nickel about 20 years ago. My guess is that it was restored at that time. I suspect that the reel strips are not original and the wood case might have been replaced. It also appears that the handle may have been repaired. My main interest is that the castings are not repros.
Thanks in advance for any input!

-Handle seem to be in good chape but (I think) need to be replated !
-The reels strips are original ( tin strip ! )
-The mechanism are good and have the special Treasury part( just hope that is not a repo )
-About the casting ,humm hard to say , we need the exact size !!! It seem to be original (good definition on the casting details, coin eagle ,etc) , the serial number are correct ,but (for me ) don t have the good size and good place !
I will try to give you the casting size in few hours .
- For me , there are a problem on the Jackpot !Need photo of the inside wood case for be sure !!!
Look at this address , some photo of an original Treasury .(sorry all are in French!)

I see different cash boxes from pic #2 to the last pic. Someone got happy and painted some main parts RED? Don't see a gooseneck back plate or the back door. Back door with the lock is expensive any more.

Thanks so much for the replies so far. The machine is about 800 miles from me so I have to rely on the seller for pics, etc. I'll try to get measurements on the casting. I have no idea what the red paint on the mechanical is about. Meanwhile, here's a few more pics he has provided, including a back door.

Hi
Well :
- cash box is a repro , but a very good repro from Metalform !
-back door key are not original
-back door , impossible to say , I need to know the weight.
-For me , original wood case, original casting (but check the size for be sure at 100%) and Mechanism seem to be original ( just a small missing part ).
I don t know how much you need to pay for it ,but if it s a good price , GO !!! (or send it to me , I take it ! )
