Jennings .50 Sun Chief - Value??
Posted: Wed Jan 09, 2013 4:48 pmHi everyone,
I've got a Jennings solid Sun Chief in fifty cent (.50) denomination. The machine is in original, unrestored condition. The backdoor lock isn't original and the lock for the cashbox is missing. Everything is intact and the machine plays and pays beautifully. The chrome and the cabinet show wear, nothing major but I would rate the condition as good for a 64 year old machine (top casting reflects a date of 12-13-49). Any thoughts as to what this slot machine is worth? I realize the market is down, but fify cent machines seem (to me at least) fairly uncommon.
In advance, thanks! Also, thanks to all for the great information I received last week regarding my inquiry on the "spring pull clip", it was really helpful.
