Tube missing?


Hello,

I am looking at a .25 Dutchboy that's for sale and have a few questions. I haven't been inside of this particular model before so I am not sure if this is missing the tube that would go between the jackpot to the payout cup. I have a pic of this area in question attached. Also, Ballpark, whats a side vendor add to the value? It is complete and works with the original padlock and key.

Thank you for your help!

Looks like its missing as for a price I would be 1500 to 2000 if its all complete and working. Here is a photo of my original 5 cent machine.

Thanks @radiorich. It's amazing how far prices on these machines have fallen. This one the cabinet was completely redone but the mech needs some tuning. That looked like the only part missing. I'd imagine that part was used on a few similar styles of the day. Would be curious what an original piece would run.


Also, were the real strips on these tin or did they use paper? I had a Mills gooseneck that was a few years earlier that had to strips. I believe the pay card for this dutchboy is a repro but I don't see much for witness marks on the reals that someone replaced them.

Your jackpot assembly seems to be complete.

Thank you Mills! Great detail in your pics. Your jackpot seems to differ from the one Im looking at. Check out the pic of the inside cabinet looking at the jackpot with the area circled. The one I have pictured has a cast piece coming off the jackpot housing directly over the lower cast piece present in both our pics.
