Thanks. I could have done more to restore it but wanted to do as little as I could since it had belong to my wife's grandmother. The reel strips on the inside look old but where legible and none of them were torn. I don't know why they did it but there was some clear green film between two pieces of glass covering the reel strips. I took it out and polished the film as best as I could but still was a little cloudy. It's funny, usually a device like that the mechanism is the hard part but this one just needed a spring.Catman88 wrote:Thanks for posting and sharing your restoration, looks good to me but I'm just a newbie.
It only pays gum balls. It does that every time regardless. The way I understand it if you matched the same cigarette on the reels the store clerk would give you the 1 to 10 packs of cigarettes depending on the variety. I also understand that if the recipient didn't want the cigarettes they could sell them back to the store getting cash for a prize.Catman88 wrote:Just curious, have you learned anymore about your machine, does it function like a real slot machine, does it pay money or gum balls. Does it function properly. BTW, it looks way better than it did.
