That ten dollar hooker, oh wait, that's another story.

I would have to say the Vendo Ice cream machine was my best catch for I believe $600.00??  I also got a free one that I parted out and made $250.00.  So roughly, it ended up costing me $350.00.

My three pull cigaromat for $750.00, already painted.

A Stoner coffee machine, with the optional changer, for around $800.00??

But my favorite has to be the Acme Roulette for a staggering $3,000.00.  That has to be the ultimate gambling device ever made.  A 1960 prototype, one of sixty in existence.

Didn't Wile E. Coyote use Acme products to catch the Roadrunner? Same company?

What does it look like?

Wile E Coyote had to go to rehab after he found out about this Acme product.

Here is the Acme Roulette.  A free spinning quarter roulette machine, from 1960 or 1961, that takes multiple bets and multiple coins.  After you play all your quarters, you hit the red flashing button, and a ball shoots out and rolls around until it finally loses monentum and falls into one of the 38 holes.  The payout follows.  The roulette wheel constanly spins in the opposite direction of the balls direction.

One coin per each individual number.  Payout is 36 to 1.

one to forty-five coins for each 3:1 or 2:1 bet.

3:1's are columns or blocks.

2:1's are a block of 1-18 or 19-36.  Black or red, or odd's or even's.

0 and 00 can only be played as an individual number.  There are no 2:1 or 3:1 combinations for the green zeros.

This is the first machine to incorporate a hopper payout.
