Info on 1930s J.P. Seeburg Grand National Sweepstakes
Posted: Mon Dec 18, 2023 3:44 pmI have recently bought a 1930s J.P. Seeburg Grand National horse-race based slot machine.
A very cool machine, which is unfortunately missing a few parts and pieces.
Most of the items I am able to fix / replace, however the coin insert mechanism is more or less just an empty shell. I very much doubt that I will be able to find a replacement mechanism, but perhaps I can fabricate the missing parts (or something similar), in order to get the machine operational again. That will however require some photos to work from. The machine seems somewhat rare, so pictures are difficult to come by. Perhaps someone out there will be kind enough to share some photos of their machine, including some good photos / and perhaps a video, of the coin insert mechanism. The more photos the better.
