Answer
Hi Sven,
I did find some company's still in the hot business of making these and selling these, I was surprised at how many company's there were. BUT, they are not cheep, and not even close to cheep, very expensive for the collector kind of guy. I found them by Internet search, Re; coin operated telescope, binoculars, etc., etc., and I thought I had listed the ones I found to other people looking for these, I answered more then a few question on these and answered with links. I'll work on trying to look them up again for you, but it will take me some time. So I will update your question here when a get a few links for you put together. In the mean time, try doing the search from your end, you will find a bunch OK? You will get another alexperts email when I add the information to this letter for you.
Thank You
Sincerely

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!
