Question
I have a very old device and I would like know what it is. It is made of iron and it has the word systematic on it. It has four silver pipes that appear to hold coins. Each pipe is completely removable and the iron casing that holds them are numbered 1, 2, 3, 5. It skips 4. also there is a small drawer that pulls out that looks to be a register with a slit in top for coins to be dropped into the drawer. Do you have any idea what this is?
Hi Javonne,
This is not a coin operated game question but this sounds like a very old coin sorter or coin counter to me. These tubes would fill with coins and then you could load them in rolls. You might look for old coin sorters, or old coin counters, and see if you can locate something that looks like it. If I could see a photo of it, I would have a better idea if it is.
Thank You
Sincerely
Rodger 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!
