Title: Picked up a very early Popperette Post by: Stotman on September 25, 2020, 08:10:58 pm I restored another early non coin op Popperette awhile back. This one has a coin slide. They may have been experimenting with different designs.

This model was never intended to sit on a cabinet. It was made to sit on a counter top. http://popperette.blogspot.com/ Title: Re: Picked up a very early Popperette Post by: Jim on September 26, 2020, 06:16:30 am Congrats on a nice find ! ! !
Interesting it has a "coin slide" device... What type of design is the internal switch that would get triggered from the coin...? I only ask because the coin is oriented horizontally opposed to a vertical coin position usually present in many coin-op devices that would interact with electrical switches of some kind. Can we assume the globe has been replaced...? What are the two fasteners along the front on each side approx. 1 1/2" up from the bottom...?

I think the two lower items are lights. Here is a shot of the coin area.
