Question
i have a Primo Pin Game, which is operated using an old pence piece. I cant find any model numbers. Can you give me any idea of the value.

Answer
Hi julie,

Sorry but I cant find it listed either, but I am not sure just what it is without a photo, it could be a pin table, or a Bagatelle, or a pinball which I searched for. Being a foreign made machine it going to be hard to find anything on it here, maybe try one of the British or UK sites, here's one: http://www.pennymachines.co.uk/index.shtml or go to my website and at the bottom you will see the Vintage slot machine web ring banner and it will take you to a bunch of overseas sites to ask. If you had a photo if would really help people to see if they know about you machine or not, a photo says a thousand words you know?

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!
