Thank you for posting these. I am finding them all really amazing.

Just a question about this one:

I understand that the ball gets 'kicked out' and onto the winning corresponding hole, that I understand. What I cannot work out is how does it reset the ball back to the start?

As a guess, does it work like this: The holes under the playing field open up somehow and the ball rolls to the bottom right corner and then gets pushed up back to the start point?

Also, how many amps does this take?

[keinert]

You are correct. A bar in the bottom of all holes will move to let the ball drop through when a new game is started. I haven't measured the games current draw.

Where these games truely randon or could the owner set what % it wanted the machine to pay out? Another great video on what must be a very rare electro-mechanical game...Thank You!!!

[keinert]

Hello, the owner cannot set the percentage for the house. The odds and payouts are preset.

Thanks, Kevin.

@keinert - Kevin, So the % is set by the manufacture to pay the owner "x"% over a certain number of plays? If so, is it the piano roll, the odds spinner or both that do it? Thanks, it's just very interesting how it can be done without a random processor.

[keinert]

Hello, it is none of the things you mention. There is no piano roll or odds spinner like the Paces Races. It's a ball falling into an actual roulette wheel, just like in Las Vegas where a live person to take your bets. This is just a machine that can do the same thing and pay you if you win. And just like in Vegas, the payouts and odds are all predetermined and shown on the table before you place your bets.

@keinert So if a player was lucky enough, he could wipe out the machine with a couple lucky picks ,even how unlikely that is? If I am not being to forward, what does a running one of these machines go for in reworked condition? How about original condition and running? Thx ahead of time!.

Video Looks sharp, love the camera upgraydd

[rickgaston]

Very nice-Never seen before. Looks like excellent condition too!

[MasterGravitron]

They could do some cool stuff back then without any microchips. But if one of those contacts fails, what a headache.

Is this a particularly complex machine by 60's standards?

[ArcadeGames]

Wow, that is one neat machine!
