Alright fellas. Something just does not jive with the partially BS story in the sellers description.
I do agree that this appears to be a totally original, and unmolested machine, but .....................?????
Yes, very interesting story of the three machines being purchased new in 1945, then having only 5 months of play, and
4 months later, being wrapped up, and placed in the attic, because of the changes in the laws, only to be discovered in
the attic, by the owners son, in 2006, and now the current owner/seller, just unwrapped the 50c machine this week.
Amazing! Now how do you suppose this 50c machine, that has been wrapped in plastic since 1945, or even early 1946,
managed to get a 1949 operators license pasted on the side of the case? Apparently, sometime in the middle of the night,
in 1949, the 'ghost-of-Christmas-past', swiped it from the attic, and placed it on location, in some legal location, for it to
receive this sticker. Then after a short while, returned it to the attic, and carefully wrapped it back up, so nobody would
ever know it left! And why in the short lifespan of play, would someone have removed the coin overflow casting-half, at
the top of the coin tube? Funny thing is.........I needed that same casting a few years ago, and one finally turned up, and
I purchased it. Maybe that same ghost unwrapped the machine a second time, to rob it for me? Thank you Mr. Ghost!
