Question I have a nickel machine that operates as a roulette wheel for trade. It seems to be made by Fey&Co and says "Three Musketeers" on the pay-out sheet. Questions; How can I determine value? and as the dome over the wheel is cracked, I would like to find a replacement if possible, any ideas. Regards, Todd.
Answer Hey Todd, that is a very nice machine. Please send me a picture when you get a chance and I will give you a value of it and also see if I can locate a globe. There were a couple different versions of it, so I want to make sure I am giving you an accurate quote and looking for the correct globe.....Please send the pictures to n2coinop@aol.com.....
Thank you
Bob
