Actually hard to find these days !! A token only vendor, no doubt by "vend-n-slot" Brainerd Baxter Corp. Brainerd, Minn.; later became / bought out by Paul Bunyan enterprises.
After the Johnson act, this company / guy bought up tons of old slot machines & killed them , and turned them into these things. Straight coin in & lucky souvenir token out.
DON'T ASK HOW I KNOW ......
Actually spent a lot of time trying to contact anyone related to these, hoping to find boxes of parts = No luck.
actually popular enough, that before Mills finally went under ,they made their own version straight from the factory.
any images of what's left inside of this one ? (just to upset everyone looking) ??
very few parts left to rebuild, usually not enough parts to buy & part out either. Plus the huge hole in the lower castings.
think about it..... THOUSANDS of slot machines were destroyed to make these. I'd be a rich man just finding all those jackpot systems to resell !!!
