May I please get the expert's opinions on this machine before I decide to bid. I am a sucker for mint vendors, so I need help to keep me reasonable :roll:

Thanks

I would be asking the seller if the fortune reel moves when a coin is played, along with does the mint vender dispense when a coin is played with the mech in place. That is for all 4 of them. Not really up on this Dutch Boy vender model but would be good to know before bidding.

Well, I bought the Jennings Today Vendor. Now I need more advice and counsel. My new machine has no back door. Attached is a picture of another machine from a 2007 auction. That machine had a repro one piece back door. Am I correct that it is supposed to be a two piece back ? Any clues as to where I might find originals or repros would be greatly appreciated.

Second, does anyone recognize the reel strips on the 2007 machine ? Looks like the machine I'm getting doesn't have any sort of fortune strips on it now. I see that Mr. Slot offers some Jennings Fortune strips, but they look nothing like the ones on the 2007 machine.

Thanks for any help.

That machine would have had two back doors. Bad news is that they are hard to come by especially the bottom door. There are some repo out there but many do not fit right, they tend to be a tad smaller. Plus there were many different sizes that jennings used. Good luck.
