My name is John. I'm an avid collector and restorer of vintage coin operated mechanical music, arcade and gambling machines. I'm fascinated by the innovation that was applied to the physical devices as well as the surrounding "business model" of enabling dealers and operators, managing (avoiding) government taxation and regulation, and instigating end-users to actually spend their money.
My mom and dad exposed me to music boxes and phonographs at an early age - and it's been an active part of my life ever since.
Beyond watching videos that I and others have shared here, I encourage you to visit web sites for the groups dedicated to this hobby. Including:
Musical Box Society (MBSI)
Coin Operated Collectors Association (COCA)
Feel free to email me at coinopgeek@gmail.com if you have questions, are seeking advice about a repair, or are interested in selling something. ENJOY!

Where all the award card marquees nickel plated?
Hard to say. Mills made these for a long time and was known to modify machines to reduce cost to produce Cast iron was likely plated / operators over time may have painted if the finish got worn or oxidized
@@AwesomeCoinOp Ok. Thanks!
How much great slot machine 😀
How do you "read" the results? Is there an indicator arrow somewhere?
Hi - yes, there is a post at the bottom that comes up from the base. It has a small pointer which is actually what you hear clicking as the wheel spins. That post/pointer shows which number is selected.
Other times !
Pongan datos del fabricante, año de construcción, esas máquinas tienen ingeniería maravilla asombrosa. Saludos
Awesome, thank you!
Bro..... I LOVE your slot machine videos, they dont make them like they use to.
Wow.
That was COOL ! And it is tiny
How do you get a gum? Is it like a consolation prize? 😉
Yes! They were designed to offer a gumball with every play. So technically you are not gambling since you are getting something for your money. Of course, the vendor requires that you push the button to get the gum. I’m guessing most players didn’t bother….
@@AwesomeCoinOp Very interesting! 😊
Interesting and cool.
Wow that's a beautiful machine. How about playing it a few more times for us?? 😊
How heavy is that since it's cast iron?
It’s heavy! About 125 pounds
*That's a cool machine.*
And then those science studiers shitted all over it
It's a penny machine
I have this same machine, what is its value,
Hi. Sorry but I sold mine years ago and have not kept up on values. Best to check recent auction sales and/or online resources for pinball.
I'm so used to the new machines that have bells and lights and sounds lol but this is coooool
do you know what the return to player is for this game?
It depends on what the last reel says. If you match the first reels, then you have to see if you Win, place or show.
I'd totally get an old vintage slot machine if slot machine collecting wasn't banned by my state.
Stupid !
Niesamowite
What do you have for sale??
Currently have several nice slots and trade stimulators available. Best to call or text 626.840.4241
@@AwesomeCoinOp Thanks. I will!.
10¢ in 1955 is $1.15 today. Thats a lot of money for the generation of a random poker hand. I'd say people were definitely using it for gambling despite what is printed on the play field. 😂😅
Does the game craps itself play the same way?
According to author Richard Bueschel in the 1978 issue of loose change magazine, the lead engineer of the Mills Vest Pocket was John Wahl who invented the wahl calculator after WW1 and also helped invent the modern mechanical pencil from what it sounds like in the article.
Are you sure that’s not a reproduction?
Since this isn’t promoting anything in particular…. What, you just ask for free stuff if you get your penny back? :p
what is a fair price on one of these models ?
Depends a lot on condition. Feel free to email if you have one for sale: coinopgeek@gmail.com
It only has buffalo nickels in it because you put them there.
Needs some work on the dampers.....you can hear damper squeaks on the treble notes.
Caranya jek pot ..kalah terus ni bos.
That’s a beautiful old machine, treasure it.
Wow terrific!!! 🤩
One day I will own one of those. ✊ What a piece!
I really enjoy these specimens.
Lot's going on, someone has to tune it periodically. I wish I could see one in person.
The humorous but dangerous element is that as you increase the shock level by turning the right doorknob clockwise, it begins to make your forearm muscles spasm. The spasm pulls your wrist inwards in the clockwise direction, which turns the machine up higher! You can actually get stuck/locked onto the machine at a full power level with no way to release it until the timer runs out or until your brother comes running and turns the switch off (on ours). Hope your heart is strong
Hello,is it for sale?
How do you wind them though? lol
Just superb la Traviata the delirum scene arrangement . The Hebrew chorus also great .
This is realy something else 😀
👍👍👍👍👍😊😊🎩🎩🇺🇲Thanks Nice
Amazing. Who wrote this song? I am trying to look up other recordings.
Ian Tyson wrote the song. It has been performed by a number of artists. Thanks for listening!
@@AwesomeCoinOp thanks so much! Love your channel. It reminds me of going to House on The Rock as a kid.
Do you still own this machine, and are you perhaps interested in selling it?
25 cents was like $5 back then
1:31 sounds like the Tokyo Disney sea hotel holiday BGM loop
is it for sale?
Nice example!
I've also been studying the payout rates on these old machines, and i found out most of them weren't paying out more than 80 cents for a dollar. That was a huge scam probably, the possibility of getting your money back after playing a couple hundred rounds on those would be really close to zero.
Gorgeous machine! Keep up with the uploads, I'm in love with antique slots. A question - (I'm not from the US) - can you still find some of those old slots in a public place available for play? That would be awesome... I love these machines but buying one would cost as a salary for a year in my city.
