Question
I have an old 5-Jacks unit (5 cent).  On the top marquee it says 5 Jacks and in the middle is a red diamond shape.  I have not seen one like this on-line or in any books.  I have had this for 25 years and it once was in an old Elk's Club back in the 50's.  Have you any info on this unit?

Answer
I have some information on your 5 jacks, I will be e-mailing you an attachment with the informaton shortly.

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!
