Answer
Hi Tim

The UPA-100 was built in 1957 to and in 1958, 100 selections, designed by Raymond Lowery, the UPD model is vary rare but even if it was that model the value is listed the same. The value guide, the latest being 2006 lists your model in three grades, grade 2's value is Restored, this is perfect $2,000.00. Grade 3's value is As Is Good $1,00.00 and grade 4 is As Is Poor $500.00.
This should get you up to date on all your questions and I hope this helps!
Thank You
Sincerely

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!
