Answer
Hi Terry,

The Penney Flip Slot Machine, like the 3-Jacks, or many others. The 3-Jacks Penney flip was one  that copied and there are a bunch of these copy's out there. You can find some on ebay under slot machines, from time to time. The copy's are almost always dime machines, and not Penny's like the originals. There was a company making the copy's called Royal Bell and their on the internet, and have a web site or did. They may of even sold the kit for making your own. So try doing a google search for Roybell and write them to see about a 3-jacks kit. Sorry for the delay in finding your question, it wasn't my fault, as I didn't know your question was waiting fro me, see below.

For some reason the allexperts quit notifying me that there are questing waiting for me, I just found your question here by chance. (ATTENTION ALLEXPERTS WEBMASTER are you Reading this? I am not getting notifications to questions waiting for me, can you fix this problem for me?)

Thank You Terry

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!
