Hi Everyone.

I was having a look at a slot machine close to me when the seller asked
me what i would give for the item on the small table next to the slot

well all i knew then was it looked kinda neat small cast aluminium, 50's
probably in design look,

since i got back i checked out the internet and seen some of the machines
and how they operated in their time, but have no idea on value whatsoever

this one has a small crack in the perspex at the top and the coin entry/mech
is missing, just a slot at the top, do not know if anythinh left inside, but a very
nice decorative item with some history

if anyone knows anything more about there history or value, much appreciated

will post a pix off the internet as do not have pix of machine for sale

many thx

ps i have read that only 8000 were made, over x20 years, is that true?

best regards GP

Hi GP
  Condition is everything with these. Complete, with the jewels, about $400 is right. If it has the counter mount, thats a bonus. I've seen them with red, blue, and green jewels. I saw one that was even made into a table lamp, and it looked really nice. I'm looking for one right now myself. Passed on a super nice one earlier this year and I've been kicking myself. If you can get it between $200-$300 jump on it.

Can I ask what this is? What does it do? I have never seen one before.

So its a personal radio station almost?
