I picked up these on Sunday in the Poconos (thanks for the tip Tim and Slider-Bob!)  

The one on the left is the "27a" that I really wanted, the Glasco GBV50 was a bit of a throw-in.  I got it pretty much thrown in because the "27a" is actually a 33.   I drove 2.5 hours each way, but the seller never looked at the little plate just about at eye level on the side of the machine.   darn

Both machines work, both need a good cleaning.  The 33 needs a lock and to get the proper decals applied.  The slider has a replacement coin mech (thanks again Slider Bob!) that I will install when I'm done cleaning them.

Nice pickup Jim...Glad you could find them locally, and could get the parts you needed!

Looks like you are buying a machine a month. Way to go!

      Wow, I sure hope you're not planning on spraying any paint on those, they're nice.

Thanks as always Slider-Bob!

MoonDawg - no plans to repaint either one, I like machines with "patina".

Nice machines. I like the Glasco.  I'm hoping that will be my next find.  I had one locked in a couple of months ago and the guy sold it out from under me as I was packing my truck to go pick it up.   censored
