Title: It's a cheap thrill! Post by: collecture on September 14, 2007, 08:01:14 pm I just won this eBay auction!
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSAA:US:11&Item=160155509703 I don't know what exactly they fit...yet, but I have seen some solo triple coin grinders (two in this auction) go for much more than I paid for all these. They look very clean - some with unbroken bubble levels! I would date them in the 30's at the latest and belong to a jukebox. I have the same style rejector on my Vendo Junior. I am guessing an old Rock-ola or Wurlitzer. Title: Re: It's a cheap thrill! Post by: davethebirdman on September 15, 2007, 01:18:59 am Well Done Mate.... We all know how much you love tinkering with these babies... More toys to play with.. DAVE Title: Re: It's a cheap thrill! Post by: collecture on September 25, 2007, 01:22:28 pm After doing a little browsing, I think the two coin grinders may be from pre-war Wurlitzer Jukeboxes.
Does anybody know which models had the triple coin slots? The 1015 does not appear to have a triple rejector, yet directs all coins from the triple coin slot into one 5,10,25 rejector. Anybody know a good website for jukeboxes with pics, etc? Title: Re: It's a cheap thrill! Post by: Kilroy on September 25, 2007, 03:46:09 pm Try Pinballrebel.com. Lots of pics under the jukebox sections

Lots of cool pics there - not too many of the coin mechs themselves, but enough! Title: Re: It's a cheap thrill! Post by: collecture on October 10, 2007, 05:03:19 pm Check this out!
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230177865936&ssPageName=ADME:B:WNA:US:12 I paid $58 total for two of the triple slug rejectors and got a couple of extra nickel rejectors for one of the triples. Not bad if I can make 700% on my investment. :hopefull: Title: Re: It's a cheap thrill! Post by: MoonDawg on October 10, 2007, 08:23:56 pm How to ID these parts? I would have passed them as junk :darn:
Tom developed a good instinct in this department! :happydrinkers: Title: Re: It's a cheap thrill! Post by: collecture on January 13, 2008, 07:52:58 pm 650% - Not a bad rate of return! :biggrin:

Post by: Jim on January 13, 2008, 08:27:25 pm The next party is at Tom's house ! ! !
Everyone's invited too ! ! ! :happydrinkers: :happydrinkers: Title: Re: It's a cheap thrill! Post by: collecture on January 13, 2008, 09:04:32 pm Funny...It was pure blind speculation!
The one I thought was worth more wasn't. I had no what either belonged to, but had seen some go for hundreds as one of mine did. The minimum is usually $50-$70, so I thought I would double my money at least. I know soda mechs pretty darn well - but jukes are a not my forte! Nice surprise! Title: Re: It's a cheap thrill! Post by: SIGNGUY on January 13, 2008, 09:16:06 pm Great Hit Tom... that is one of the fun things about ebay... sometime you get just those two bidders who will bid out of this world to get the item... then the next one... hardly a bid... but not bad at all!!! Congrats!

As far as the pre-war Wurlitzers, the 700, 750, 800, 850, and 950 all had triple slug rejectors. Not sure about the 1080 and 1100. If you pm me and get me some pics I can forward them to someone who is very knowledgeable to identify them for you. |
