Question

queen top
Hi,

I have a machine here that I bought many years ago.
It spins perfectly, but the back door and gumball dispenser is missing.

On the Internet there is only one reference to it (Dave from I buy old slots).
Can you tell me more about it?
e.g. year, manufacturer, price indication, where to get parts, why it isn't in any book or on the Internet?

Any information is welcome.

Thank you

Answer
Hi Rudolf,

Very Interesting machine, I love it! I have to admit that this is the first one I have ever seen! It looks almost like it has Jennings Little Duke type of reel strips on it, and that makes me wonder if Jennings had something to do with it, or if the idea come from one of the little duke machines. Have you asked Dave about it, he is also an expert here on this site and he might know more about it. Or there is a guy that has a trade stimulator catalog out and is the only one that I know of selling trade stimulator parts, Bill Wheaten. If you want to write me at Jackpot7@q.com I'll send you his catalog and contact information. I would think he would surly know about this neat little trade stimulator game! I will try doing some research on this and see what I can come up with for you, and when I do I'll get back to you here with what information I have found on it. It's really Cool, I love the looks of it. Bill may even have the parts you need for it, there is always the chance.

Thank You

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!
