Question
i just bought what i believe is a 1950's german slot machine.  It does not work (no power cord), but i was curious what the value might be.

Answer
Hi Jason,
Sorry Jason there is not anything in print about these, you do know I hope that it is 220 volts, and I have only seen one that worked, I think he had a step up transformer on it. Value, not much for this neat machine I am afraid, I see them sell on ebay from 75 dollars up to 375.00. These are really neat machines if there working, but most are not.
Thank You
Rodger

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!
