MACHINE APPEARS TO BE A PRETTY STRAIGHT ORIGINAL.
OLDER AMATEUR RESTORATION.
LOOKS TO BE A REPRO CASH BOX., WHICH IS NO BIG DEAL.
MOST... NOT ALL, BUT MOST repro's will:
not have the vendor linkage cover on the handle side.
will not have a rectangular reward card, but rather an oval one.
most repro's will have an extended handle for easier pull.
most repro's will not have the rods going through the wooden base, although beware of some sharpies now faking that.
this machine has an original back door which is stamped, and has a "picture frame" look to it.
most repro machines will have a totally flat back door with no "picture frame" look to it.
there are other telltale signs, but, those stated here should be enough to let you know what time of day it is.
