Hi Kim,

Wow, this a shame. I am sure your case, if it is complete like you are saying is worth some money. How much is going to be a hard question to answer. I will have to look into this some to see what I can find out for you. Is the mechanism removed or is there just a lot of parts missing? Also where in the country are you located. Also if you can send photos, please do, to my e-mail at jackpot7@ix.netcom.com
I'll be seeing what I can find out on this and get back to you, photos would really help.
Thank You
Sincerely
Rodger Knutson

QUESTION: Rodger,
Thanks for the help. The case sold before I had a chance to buy it for 375. not bad for an empty case I guess
Thanks again for your help
Kim

Answer
Hi Kim,

You might be lucky here, hard to say as shipping is getting so darn expensive now days, and I wouldn't know what you could expect to get out of empty case, for the amount of work involved, and the luck of finding a buyer who just needed the case, then the crating and shipping. If you did get it I was going to offer to help you by posting it in a few places. It would be very hard to pass on it, but if you can't sell it, you have a monster to store.
Thank You
Rodger

Expertise

I am an expert on old coin operated machines, slot machines, trade stimulator's, jukeboxes, old arcade machines, etc. I have been identifying these for people who respond to my web site listed below, for a few years now. In almost all cases I am able to tell them about their old coin operated machines, the year, the value, and other general information about their machines. I do not know much about soda vending machines, coin banks, or scales, but I will try to help you with these if I can.

Experience

I bought my first slot machine, a .50 Cent Mills Black Cherry in 1969 and have been hooked from that time, I still have that Slot machine! Before that I found a open barrel full of old scraped jukebox wall boxes behind a restaurant, I wanted them all but never took a one of them. Anything that took a coin drove me nuts!
