Question
I am considering buying a free standing automatic fortune telling machine
(Madam Zita?). i don't have much more information about it. What can I expect
to pay?  

Answer
Eileen,
That is a tough question without pictures or more information.  An original is very hard to find and desireable.  A collector friend of mine has reproduced the entire machine.  They are amazing replicas that have been professional duplicated in every way.  The reproductions are valuable in there own right.  Can you send me a picture?  Or do you know if it is one of the reproductions or an original?

Expertise

I'm an expert on coin operated machines. I can answer questions on slot machines, gumball & peanut machines, jukeboxes, arcade machines, pinball machines, gambling machines and any other device that operates with a coin. I have a couple hundred machines in my collection and have seen hundreds of others while traveling across the country and going to antique shows. I can give an appraisal on your item, but please send a picture if possible so I can give you accurate information. You can send pictures to me at buck@nvc.net
