The first thing is to get it working. That machine is a Jennings Club Chief which was of the first machine to have lights. I see there is a broken plastic in the front and That maybe hard to replace. Otherwise it don't look to bad. A little clean up and polish may look it look pretty good. Most of the value of that machines is the fact that it is a dollar machine and the top marque and the plaque on the front. That is what makes it a special machine.

I am in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Anyone in Oklahoma, or southern Missouri that could help me better preserve this machine?

That is a great machine ! I have 4 Cal Neva Machines in my collection. 2 are Chinese fronts with the brass Cal Neva on the front and 2 are Wild Indian Sun Chiefs. All of them are un-restored, and my strong advice would be to tune yours up mechanically and keep the exterior ORIGINAL. Too many over restored machines out there that lose their character in my opinion. One of my 25 cent machines has a front load jackpot with a Mills lock and worm key in the opening, I have seen Chinese fronts and Standard Chief machines with a front load lock added, but they have all been Ace style locks. One of my quarter machines and both Sun Chiefs have a Wild Indian symbol on the first reel that pays with any combination. I have included pics of all four machines, they all light up, but I only included pics of the Chinese fronts lit up. If you ever want to sell yours I would love to hear from you. J.D.

Awesome collection! Thank you all for your responses, I'm really in hopes of finding someone in this region that can get this guy working again for me. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
