Hi Linda,

    This is a little off for me, I watch mostly slot machine and pinballs and real old arcade games, but I know hat you have and I see them on ebay so do a search there for value. There is nothing in price guides on them that I have seen. Here is a web site:
http://gameroomantiques.com/NelsonPlayfield.htm

But his prices are always real high but he has a list of restored rides on there. My best guess to value in used un'restord condition is anywhere from $500.00 to $1,400.00. I hope I have been some help to you.
Thank You

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!
