Question

abbey machine
We have 6 Abbey bar/countertop vending machines, ours say "Tummy Tabs" and we have only one key. It is the type key that looks like a wrench. Any idea where we can get a few more of these keys?  Thank you.  Anne

Answer
Hi Anne,

Neat machines! Well, I give you the contact to a guy that does a lot of keys on these old coin operated machines, I would be very surprised if he was not able to help you:

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!
