Title: GLASCO Coin Mechanism - Correct one ??
Post by: 4allofyou on April 16, 2008, 03:11:03 pm

Dear collectors

I purchased a Glas slider some weeks ago and I just wonder if the coin mechanism is the correct one.

It works fine but someone noticed the strange top where you have to put in yr money

Greetings from a collecter at the other side of the ocean

Not positive - but looks like it might be from an Ideal.
Can you post a side pic?

Your coinmech is missing it's chrome 'hat", this style of tall coinmech is playfully known as a "Frankenstien" because the large (missing on yours) flat top coin entry trim piece, well.. it looks like the old boy's flat-top 'noggin.

I may be wrong but after looking a little closer I don't think it is a Frankenstein coin mech. the bent coin release is in the wrong spot. It looks more like an Ideal 35 mech with a different coin chute on top. Either way they used a bunch of different mechs and I am sure it is origional. It looks good the way that it is. It probably is correct but since you are from another country they probably modified the coin mech slightly.

Many thanks for answer

I don't know the history about the machine but I know it is orig. from the usa

Because there is still the 100 voltage system and overhere we've got 220 volt
