AboutRodger Knutson 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!
Question Hello. I have a Carousel Gumball Machine it has cast iron stand and feet, a glass globe, and opens at the top without a key. I was wondering if you could give me an estimate on how much you think it may be worth? Thank you very much!!
Answer Hi Brandie,
Boy, I am really sorry but I have no idea of what you have. Without a photo it's imposable for me to make any kind of good guess. But, I bet your talking about the newer ones you see on location now, and I only dabble in the very old antique machines. My gut feeling if it is one of these large new ones, I would guess maybe 75.00 to 150.00 but really I have no idea with out a photo or better information and only if it is an antique. Thank you Brandie. If you would like to send a photo, send it to: jackpot7@ix.netcom.com
